Foodborne diseases Infectious, FBDs acquired from contaminated cooked, raw, processed or unprocessed food are major courses of mortality and morbidity globally due to their wide and rapid spread [1,2]. This article aims to highlight the burden and causes of FBDs, and reduction measures in developing countries. Due to them being widespread, these diseases are of public health interest worldwide, as all countries suffer incidence of FBDs although the levels differ from country to country [2]. More than 250 FBDs originating from microbial, chemical or parasitic sources have been identified [3].
