AI Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed data on natural toxin food poisonings (NTFP) in Japan from 1989 to 2010 to identify trends and risk factors associated with these incidents.
- - There has been no decrease in the annual number of NTFP cases, highlighting the need for better prevention and control measures, particularly in home settings.
- - Consumer education is essential to increase awareness about NTFP risks and necessary precautions, while also addressing new threats from imported foods and climate change.
Article Abstract
In order to reduce the health risk associated with food poisonings caused by natural toxins, it is necessary to implement risk management strategies based on previous poisoning data and risk factors. In present study, we statistically analyzed natural toxin food poisoning (NTFP) data published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare from 1989 to 2010 in Japan and reviewed the trends of NTFP for each natural toxin hazard. Since 1989, the number of incidents of NTFP in each year has not been reduced. Prevention and control are needed to reduce the risk of NTFP. The major site for all hazards was "at home". This result suggested that consumer education is critically important to inform about NTFP occurrence, preventive measures and emergency treatments. Furthermore, countermeasures for NTFPs which have never occurred in the past in Japan should be considered, because of the increasing variety of imported foods and changes resulting from the inerease of sea temperature with global warming.

Non-typhoidal salmonellosis is a foodborne disease caused by spp. Most outbreaks of this disease are commonly associated with consuming contaminated meat products, hence the importance of monitoring ready-to-eat artisanal pork sausages for the presence of these bacteria. A total of 494 samples of grilled and smoked barbecue artisanal pork sausages were collected at food outlets from 12 municipalities of the Department of Quindío, Colombia, between 2017 and 2022.

Foodborne illnesses represent a significant global health challenge, causing substantial morbidity and mortality. Conventional surveillance methods, such as laboratory-based reporting and physician notifications, often fail to enable early detection, prompting the exploration of innovative solutions. Social media platforms, combined with machine learning (ML), offer new opportunities for real-time monitoring and outbreak analysis.
