UP study shows prevalence of foodborne diseases could be blamed on poor sanitation 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Dhel NazarioA recent study of 209 reported foodborne disease outbreaks (FBDOs) in the Philippines showed that food service eating facilities and home-prepared food were more prone to outbreak occurrences. Outbreaks with multiple implicated food vehicles refer to those cases that involve consumption of several types of food. Institutionally-prepared food (catering, school and work place canteens, hotel and restaurants), followed by home-prepared food (birthday, outing, funeral), showed the highest incidence, involving multiple food vehicles. Studies pointed out that there is a high prevalence of FBDOs in developing countries due to poor sanitation.
