Factors contributing to decline in foodborne disease outbreak reports, United States

Emerg Infect Dis. 2014 Sep;20(9):1551-3. doi: 10.3201/eid2009.140044.

Abstract

The number of foodborne disease outbreaks reported in the United States declined substantially in 2009, when the surveillance system transitioned from reporting only foodborne disease outbreaks to reporting all enteric disease outbreaks. A 2013 survey found that some outbreaks that would have been previously reported as foodborne are now reported as having other transmission modes.
