Abstract(s)

Introduction: Foodborne outbreaks (FBO) caused by consumption of contaminated foods represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. FBO epidemiological surveillance data analysis is essential to identify their risk factors, to be used as scientific evidence to support their risk management and burden mitigation activities. Prevention of FBO can be optimized by teaching good food safety practices to different target populations, including consumers, food handlers and health educators.
