“…Animal food products are implicated in human Salmonella infection outbreaks related to local and multinational food distribution networks (Dallman et al, 2016;EFSA & ECDP, 2017;Zenner et al, 2014), and international in-flight catering (Rebolledo et al, 2014). The isolation of Campylobacter strains from chicken carcases similar to those frequently isolated in humans is not uncommon and signifies the importance of animals in human infections (Devane et al, 2013;Nielsen et al, 2006;Stone et al, 2013).…”

Livestock meat and offal contribute significantly to human nutrition as sources of high‐quality protein and micronutrients. Livestock products are increasingly in demand, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income settings where economies are growing and meat is increasingly seen as an affordable and desirable food item. Demand is also driving intensification of livestock keeping and processing. An unintended consequence of intensification is increased exposure to zoonotic agents, and a contemporary emerging problem is infection with Campylobacter and Salmonella spp. from livestock (avian and mammalian), which can lead to disease, malabsorption and undernutrition through acute and chronic diarrhoea. This can occur at the farm, in households or through the food chain. Direct infection occurs when handling livestock and through bacteria shed into the environment, on food preparation surfaces or around the house and surroundings. This manuscript critically reviews Campylobacter and Salmonella infections in animals, examines the factors affecting colonization and faecal shedding of bacteria of these two genera as well as risk factors for human acquisition of the infection from infected animals or environment and analyses priority areas for preventive actions with a focus on resource‐poor settings.

“…The outbreaks were primarily caused by Salmonella enterica of different serotypes and subtypes (12 outbreaks) [ 10 - 21 ], followed by Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) of different O-groups (3 outbreaks) [ 22 - 24 ], hepatitis A virus (3 outbreaks) [ 6 - 8 ], as well as Listeria monocytogenes [ 5 ] and Cyclospora cayetanensis [ 9 ] (1 outbreak each). The outbreaks took place in North America [ 5 , 7 , 8 , 10 , 12 - 17 ] or Europe [ 6 , 9 , 11 , 18 - 24 ] and, except for two, were dispersed outbreaks, extended over time and geographical area. They were mostly nationwide outbreaks, although two outbreaks were international.…”

“…They were mostly nationwide outbreaks, although two outbreaks were international. Two outbreaks were point-source outbreaks examined using a cohort set-up [ 11 , 22 ]. The outbreaks were of varying size, the number of outbreak cases ranged from six to more than 1,000, with a median of 63 cases.…”

“…References in papers found through the above-described search showed that, in each study, only a few other studies using the consumer card method were cited, possibly due to a marked heterogeneity in the nomenclature regarding the use of consumer purchase data. The terms used in the found studies [ 5 - 24 ] included: household shopping receipts [ 18 ], consumer loyalty cards [ 8 ], shopper cards data [ 23 ], customer loyalty cards [ 10 ], supermarket loyalty cards [ 21 ], warehouse store membership card [ 15 ], loyalty card [ 20 ], grocery store loyalty card [ 5 ], credit card information [ 24 ], shopper-card information [ 13 , 14 , 18 ] and till receipts [ 11 ].…”

Analysis of consumer food purchase data used for outbreak investigations, a review

BackgroundInvestigations of food-borne outbreaks are frequently unsuccessful and new investigation methods should be welcomed. Aim: Describe the use of consumer purchase datasets in outbreak investigations and consider methodological and practical difficulties. Methods: We reviewed published papers describing the use of consumer purchase datasets, where electronic data on the foods that case-patients had purchased before onset of symptoms were obtained and analysed as part of outbreak investigations. Results: For the period 2006–17, scientific articles were found describing 20 outbreak investigations. Most outbreaks involved salmonella or Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli and were performed in eight different countries. The consumer purchase datasets were most frequently used to generate hypotheses about the outbreak vehicle where case-interviews had not been fruitful. Secondly, they were used to aid trace-back investigation, where a vehicle was already suspected. A number of methodological as well as (in some countries) legal and practical impediments exist. Conclusions: Several of the outbreaks were unlikely to have been solved without the use of consumer purchase datasets. The method is potentially powerful and with future improved access to big data purchase information, may become a widely applicable tool for outbreak investigations, enabling investigators to quickly find hypotheses and at the same time estimate odds ratios or relative risks hereof. We suggest using the term ‘consumer purchase data’ to refer to the approach in the future.
