Your task is to predict the verdict of a claim based on the provided question-answer pair evidence. The possible labels are: 'Supported', 'Refuted', 'Not Enough Evidence', 'Conflicting Evidence/Cherrypicking'. Justify your answer using the provided evidence and select the correct label.

Claim: 1 in 6 in the US get food poisoning each year but only 1 in 66 in the UK.

Q1: Where does the 1 in 66 estimate come from?
A1: The estimate that one in 66 people in the UK gets food poisoning is based on a 2011 FSA report. It estimated that in the UK a million people a year suffer a foodborne illness. The population of the UK today is around 66 million, which the original claimant seems to have used to get one in 66.

Q2: Is this an accurate statistic?
A2: No, because It’s difficult to estimate the number of people who get food poisoning a year. It’s not always possible to prove someone got ill because of something they’d eaten, and they may not always go to a doctor or seek medical advice. As a result the estimates are broad.

Q3: Where does the one in 6 figure come from?
A3: The figure of one in six for the US comes from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which estimates that “each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people)” get sick as a result of foodborne diseases

Q4: Is this an accurate figure?
A4: The CDC told us this came from a paper published in 2011, but that the estimates are a “fairly accurate representation of the burden of [foodborne] diseases in the US.”

Q5: Is the data between the two countries comparable?
A5: the data between the two countries isn’t comparable and varies considerably in how and when it was collected, and there are differences in the methodology behind the estimates. Real world factors, like access to medical care which differs widely between the two countries, can also affect the comparison.

Q6: What is the estimated population in the UK that falls sick due to food poisoning?
A6: around a million people suffer a foodborne illness

Q7: What was the UK's population in 2018?
A7: 66,435,600

Q8: When was this claim made?
A8: 06/10/2019

Q9: What is the estimated population in the U.S. that falls sick due to food poisoning?
A9: CDC estimates that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) gets sick

Q10: What was the population of the United States in 2018?
A10: 332,140,037

justification: Evidence throughout the QA brings up a slight conflict against the claim. It seems that the stats of 1 in 6 for the US getting food poisoning is relatively true, it's based on a 2011 report but the CDC suggests it's a fairly accurate statistic, further evidence seems to suggest that it's hard to estimate the exact numbers with one reason being not all people report to the doctor with food poisoning and it's hard to always proove it was something they ate made them ill in the first place leaving room for inaccuracy which makes the claim conflicted because that part suggests the claim may be wrong. Based on the numbers the 1 in 66 part may be true for the UK, stats are not comparable between the countries and the way it's recorded because of differences in the countries medical care and the methodology behind the estimates may differ.

verdict: 'Conflicting Evidence/Cherrypicking'
