The number of outbreaks and people sick in them was higher in 2022 than the year before, according to the Belgian food agency.
Belgium recorded 830 outbreaks in 2022 compared to 547 in 2021, with 4,247 people affected compared to 2,070 in 2021. In 2022, 125 people were hospitalized, and two died.
The rise may partly be because of increased activity in the hospitality, restaurant, and catering sector after large closures because of COVID-19. The various incidents, such as Salmonella contamination at Ferrero, may also have raised consumer awareness and encouraged them to report illnesses, said the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC).

Port health officials in England have blocked a shipment of cooked chicken from entering the country because it was contaminated with Salmonella.
Suffolk Coastal Port Health Authority (SCPHA), part of East Suffolk Council, recently discovered Salmonella Mbandaka in 21,800-kilograms (48,000 pounds) of cooked chicken imported to the Port of Felixstowe.
In the UK, more than 130 people are sick with Salmonella Mbandaka after eating chicken products from Ukraine. Four patients were admitted to hospital and one person has died.
Intensified Official Controls started in April. This included a requirement that the next 10 imported consignments from the implicated establishment would be subject to extra inspections.

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is investigating a cluster of five illnesses caused by the bacteria Salmonella Typhimurium among children from the Twin Cities metro. The families of two children reported that they consumed unpasteurized milk. Information could not be obtained from the remaining families, but the bacteria from the cases were found to be identical through laboratory analysis. This indicates the infections came from the same source.
The cases include children ranging in age from 3 months to 10 years who became ill between the end of June and early July. One child was hospitalized.
