title: [Food poisoning-infections in metropolitan France].
abstract: Food-borne diseases result from ingestion of contaminated foods, especially with pathogenic bacteria. It is considered as an outbreak as soon as 2 cases are diagnosed following a common food exposure; in France, declaration to health authorities is mandatory. Salmonella is the most frequently identified aetiologic agent. The incidence of Campylobacter induced food-borne infection is understated. Infections due to Staphylococcus or Clostridium perfringens represent almost 30% of all outbreaks. Listeriosis has to be included in food-borne disease because of its severity, and since it determines outbreaks for which mandatory epidemiological survey is especially important.
