How do shared data help detect foodborne outbreaks earlier?
This animation explains how food business operators, national competent authorities, EFSA and ECDC work together to detect, investigate and manage foodborne outbreaks across countries. It shows how molecular typing data, human case data and traceability information help identify links between pathogens, suspected food products or batches, and human infections — supporting coordinated action to protect consumers across Europe.
The animation also supports awareness of new EU requirements for sharing molecular analytical data related to foodborne outbreaks.
