Abstract

The total number of 26,701 cases of bacterial foodborne infections and intoxications were registered in 2000. The incidence was 96.9/100,000 population. S. Enteritidis was found in 96.9% of cases in outbreaks caused by Salmonella sp. The main vehicle of foodborne infections and intoxications in outbreaks (in Poland defined as 4 and more sick people) was food prepared from eggs (44.4% cases in outbreaks, 54.4% cases caused by Salmonella). Private homes prevailed (56.1% of outbreaks) among the places of the ready made food production. Six epidemics with 100 and more cases each were registered. Four deaths were noted in outbreaks in 2000.
