The World Health Organization (WHO) has urged stakeholders to act on evidence that will be provided by updated estimates on foodborne illness.
Updated WHO figures on the burden of foodborne disease, originally set for publication in 2025, will be released in early June in a report including estimates by hazard, providing global, regional and national data on foodborne illnesses, deaths, and public health burdens expressed as disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from 2000 to 2021.
