Database
The burden of foodborne diseases is not spread equally across the globe but correlates with the socio-economic development of countries. The global database on foodborne disease burden displays the estimates on an interactive map.
The Foodborne disease burden database search platform is being updated and will be available for users soon. For data requests, contact fbd-burden@who.int.
