"Are we winning the battle against foodborne disease?"
The question Frank Yiannas M.P.H. asks us at the beginning of some of his keynotes.

How about Europe, what is the foodborne outbreak trends in Europe?

Are we eating safer than previous years?Well that's unfortunately not the case,as the data from the "2024 One Health Zoonoses Report" shows.

Foodborne outbreaks jumped by 14.5% compared to the previous year.
Hospitalizations followed the exact same worrying trend.

Campylobacter and Salmonella are leading the charge.They remain the two most reported diseases across the EU.
But Listeria is the silent killer we need to watch.It has the highest hospitalization rate and causes the most deaths.

Often raw meat is considered more risky foods, but fresh vegetables caused the highest number of deaths in outbreaks this year.This isn't just a "food safety" issue, It’s a One Health crisis connecting humans, animals, and our environment.

We need better surveillance, stricter controls, and smarter data.Because safe food shouldn't be a luxury. It is a necessity.Stay safe, cook your food, and wash your hands.
