Abstract
Objective: To conduct a retrospective analysis of outbreaks of foodborne and waterborne infections caused by Salmonella spp. in Brazil from 2007 to 2023, using information available from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) as the study source. Methods: Data were compiled and organized into spreadsheets using Microsoft Office Excel® 365 for subsequent descriptive analysis. Results: A total of 11,809 foodborne outbreaks were reported, with 2,626 caused by bacteria. The genus Salmonella was responsible for 598 of these outbreaks, of which 556 were caused by Salmonella spp. In the state of Maranhão, only three outbreaks caused by Salmonella were reported. Eggs and egg-based products were the most frequently related foods to the outbreaks. Regarding the location of the outbreaks, households had the highest number of outbreaks with 255 notifications. The number of exposed, sick, and deceased individuals was 24,442, 18,770, and 25, respectively. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of investigating and reporting foodborne and waterborne disease outbreaks to develop effective public policies to reduce these outbreaks.
