“…Such as food categories implicated in foodborne disease outbreaks were 24 categories in the USA (14), no “a variety of foods”. Fruit and its products (including preserved fruit and preserves) was the second frequently reported exposed food, meat and meat products was only third in our analysis, this result is similar to that of other provinces in China (15, 16), however, the major proportion of cases of foodborne illness in western developed countries are associated with foods of animal origin (17). In the US and the EU, leafy greens, tomatoes, melons, legumes and grains were major food types in non-animal origin of foods that cause foodborne diseases (18, 19), and our analysis also shows that vegetable and its products is a very important food category of exposed food.…”

Background: In order to generate data on the burden of foodborne diseases in Shandong Province, we aimed to use the case monitoring data of foodborne diseases from 2016 to 2017 to estimate. Methods: Data were obtained from the foodborne disease surveillance reporting system with dates of onset from Jan 1, 2016, to Dec 31, 2017, in Shandong, China. Results: The places of food exposure were categorized by settings as follows: private home, catering facility, collective canteens, retail markets, rural banquets and other. Exposed food is divided into 23 categories. Overall incidence rate and proportions by exposure categories, age, and sex-specific incidence rates were calculated and sex proportions compared. Approximately 75.00% of cases who had at least one exposure settings were in private homes. The most frequently reported exposed food was a variety of food (meaning more than two kinds of food). The two-year average incidence rate was 75.78/100,000, sex-specific incidence rate was much higher for females compared to males (78.23 vs. 74.69 cases per 100,000 population). An age-specific trend was observed in the cases reported (Chi-Square for linear trend, χ2=4.39, P=0.036<0.05). Conclusion: A preliminary estimate of 14 million cases of foodborne diseases in Shandong province each year. Future studies should focus on cross-sectional and cohort studies to facilitate the assessment of the distribution and burden of foodborne disease of the population in Shandong. Considering strengthening the burden of foodborne diseases in foodborne disease surveillance is also a feasible way.

“…In 2012, OzFoodNet (Foodborne disease surveillance and response across Australia) sites reported 2180 outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness affecting 40,547 individuals, resulting in 955 hospitalizations and 131 associated deaths [17]. In South China, from 2010 to 2016, a total of 138 FBD outbreaks were reported (mean of 19.7 outbreaks annually), involving 3348 cases and 46 deaths [18].…”

“…A study conducted by Ting-ting [32] in China showed that, between 2002 and 2011, most deaths due to FBD outbreaks occurred in homes. In another study conducted in China, Li et al [18] showed that schools (42.7%) and homes (32.6%) were the main sites of FBD outbreaks. These findings highlight the importance of investment in sanitary conditions and education for the population.…”

This study aimed to assess the foodborne diseases (FBD) outbreaks reported in Brazil between 2000 and 2018, based on data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health (official data) and from scientific literature. According to official data, 13,163 FBD outbreaks were reported in the country during this period, involving 247,570 cases and 195 deaths. The largest prevalence of FBD outbreaks was observed in the Southeast region of Brazil (45.6%). In most outbreaks it was not possible to determine the food implicated (45.9%) but among those identified, water was the most frequently associated (12.0%). The etiological agent was not identified in most outbreaks (38.0%), while Salmonella (14.4%) was the most frequently reported among those identified. Homes were the main site of FBD occurrence (12.5%). Regarding data obtained from the scientific literature, 57 articles dealing with FBD in the country throughout the same period were selected and analyzed. Based on these articles, mixed foods were the most prevalent in the outbreaks (31.6%), Salmonella spp. was the pathogen most frequently reported (22.8%) and homes were also the main site of FBD occurrence (45.6%). Despite under-notification, the records of FBD outbreaks that have occurred in Brazil in the past recent years show alarming data, requiring attention from health authorities. The notification of outbreaks is essential to facilitate public health actions.
