“…A 1996 case-control study conducted in Italy by Borgnolo, et al reported that children with non-typhoidal salmonellosis were more likely to have unemployed fathers and fathers who worked in non-blue collar jobs than controls (36). A 2010 case-control study conducted in the US by Yonus, et al found no association between SES and salmonellosis (37).…”

SUMMARY Foodborne illness is a major cause of morbidity and loss of productivity in developed nations. Though low socioeconomic status (SES) is generally associated with negative health outcomes, its impact on foodborne illness is poorly understood. We conducted a systematic review to examine the association between SES and laboratory-confirmed illness caused by eight important foodborne pathogens. We completed this systematic review using PubMed for all papers published between 1 January 1980 and 1 January 2013 that measured the association between foodborne illness and SES in highly developed countries and identified 16 studies covering 4 pathogens. The effect of SES varied across pathogens: the majority of identified studies for Campylobacter, salmonellosis, and E. coli infection showed an association between high SES and illness. The single study of listeriosis showed illness was associated with low SES. A reporting bias by SES could not be excluded. SES should be considered when targeting consumer level public health interventions for foodborne pathogens.

“…Studies that include infants have suggested that breast-feeding is associated with a decreased risk of salmonellosis [12][13][14][15]. However, studies have failed to show associations between infant salmonellosis and risk factors described for adults and older children [13,[16][17][18].…”

Breast‐Feeding Decreases the Risk of Sporadic Salmonellosis among Infants in FoodNet Sites

et al. 2004

Among the population of the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) surveillance areas ("FoodNet sites") in 1996, children under 12 months of age had the highest incidence of sporadic salmonellosis. We conducted a case-control study in 5 FoodNet sites to identify risk factors for sporadic infant salmonellosis. A case patient was a child under 12 months of age with a laboratory-confirmed, nontyphoidal serogroup B or D Salmonella infection. Twenty-two case patients were matched with 39 control subjects by age and either telephone exchange or vital record birth list. In a multivariate analysis, case patients were more likely to have a liquid diet containing no breast milk than a liquid diet containing only breast milk (matched odds ratio, 44.5; P=.04). Case-patients were more likely to reside in a household where a member had diarrhea (matched odds ratio, 13.2; P=.01). To decrease their infants' risk of salmonellosis, mothers should be encouraged to breast-feed their infants. Caretakers of infants should learn about salmonellosis, hand washing, and safe preparation of formula and solid food.

“…Consistent with FoodNet data, it was found that percent African American and Hispanic population were positively associated with incidence of salmonellosis as was percent urban and number of food handlers in the population. A study of Italian children also previously associated “low social class” with incidence of Salmonella infection [3]. …”

“…Incidence rates of foodborne illness have not traditionally been tracked by race, ethnicity or income. A limited number of studies have found that low income populations are more likely to experience greater rates of gastrointestinal illness [2,3,4,5,6]. There is also growing evidence that individuals of minority racial and ethnic groups suffer from greater rates of some foodborne illnesses [7,8,9,10].…”

While foodborne illness is not traditionally tracked by race, ethnicity or income, analyses of reported cases have found increased rates of some foodborne illnesses among minority racial/ethnic populations. In some cases (Listeria, Yersinia) increased rates are due to unique food consumption patterns, in other cases (Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter) it is unclear why this health disparity exists. Research on safe food handling knowledge and behaviors among low income and minority consumers suggest that there may be a need to target safe food handling messages to these vulnerable populations. Another possibility is that these populations are receiving food that is less safe at the level of the retail outlet or foodservice facility. Research examining the quality and safety of food available at small markets in the food desert environment indicates that small corner markets face unique challenges which may affect the quality and potential safety of perishable food. Finally, a growing body of research has found that independent ethnic foodservice facilities may present increased risks for foodborne illness. This review of the literature will examine the current state of what is known about foodborne illness among, and food safety risks for, minority and low socioeconomic populations, with an emphasis on the United States and Europe.
