Illness and death from diseases caused by contaminated food are a constant threat
to public health and a significant impediment to socio-economic development
worldwide. To measure the global and regional burden of foodborne disease (FBD),
the World Health Organization (WHO) established the Foodborne Disease Burden
Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG), which here reports their first estimates of
the incidence, mortality, and disease burden due to 31 foodborne hazards. We find
that the global burden of FBD is comparable to those of the major infectious
diseases, HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. The most frequent causes of
foodborne illness were diarrheal disease agents, particularly norovirus and
Campylobacter spp. Diarrheal disease agents, especially non-typhoidal Salmonella
enterica, were also responsible for the majority of deaths due to FBD. Other
major causes of FBD deaths were Salmonella Typhi, Taenia solium and hepatitis A
virus. The global burden of FBD caused by the 31 hazards in 2010 was 33 million
Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs); children under five years old bore 40% of
this burden. The 14 subregions, defined on the basis of child and adult
mortality, had considerably different burdens of FBD, with the greatest falling
on the subregions in Africa, followed by the subregions in South-East Asia and
the Eastern Mediterranean D subregion. Some hazards, such as non-typhoidal S.
enterica, were important causes of FBD in all regions of the world, whereas
others, such as certain parasitic helminths, were highly localised. Thus, the
burden of FBD is borne particularly by children under five years old-although
they represent only 9% of the global population-and people living in low-income
regions of the world. These estimates are conservative, i.e., underestimates
rather than overestimates; further studies are needed to address the data gaps
and limitations of the study. Nevertheless, all stakeholders can contribute to
improvements in food safety throughout the food chain by incorporating these
estimates into policy development at national and international levels.
