Answer 1

Covid-19 is NOT one of the top five pathogens that cause illness from food eaten in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the question is Covid-19. While all the other options mentioned (Norovirus, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, Campylobacter, and Staphylococcus aureus) are known to cause illness from food, Covid-19 is not primarily transmitted through food consumption. It is a respiratory virus that primarily spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes and by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching the face.
