1 WHO Surveillance Programme for Control of Foodborne Infections and Intoxications in Europe FRANCE (FRA) Population: 60.2 million Area: km 2 The designations and the presentation of material on this map of the Member States of the WHO European Region (as at 31 July 1997) do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the World Health Organization concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Dotted lines represent approximate border lines for which there may not yet be full agreement. 1. General information In France, foodborne diseases surveillance relies on 3 surveillance systems (figure 1): 1. Mandatory notification of foodborne outbreaks, botulism, brucellosis and listeriosis 2. Surveillance data from National Reference laboratories (CNR): salmonellosis, listeriosis 3. National hospital network: Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS). 1.1 Mandatory notification of foodborne outbreaks An outbreak is defined as the occurrence of at least two cases of a similar illness, usually gastro-intestinal, due to the consumption of a common food product. Botulism and listeriosis are notifiable even for a single case. Notifications are done by general practitioners, hospital physicians, medical laboratories. Foodborne outbreaks can also be notified by the head of the establishment (schools, restaurants, etc.) or the head of the family where the cases occur. Outbreaks are investigated by the local public health authorities (DDASS = Direction Départementale des Affaires Sanitaires et Sociales) and Veterinary officers (DSV = Services Vétérinaires Départementaux). Standardized reports are sent to the French Public Health Institute (Institut de Veille Sanitaire) and Department of Agriculture. Theses reports are pooled and analyzed on an annual basis after checking for double notifications. The results are annually published in the Bulletin Epidémiologique Hebdomadaire.
2 Notifications, investigations of outbreaks and collaboration between local Public Heath Authorities and Veterinarian Services have been strengthened in 1987 by the implementation of the following measures: - An information was sent to physicians to improve the notification, - Guidelines dealing with methodology of investigations and control measures were provided to local Health and Veterinarian Services, - An epidemiological software TIAC was developed to encourage case control studies and facilitate data analysis in foodborne outbreak management. 1.2 Contribution of National Reference Centres Contribution of National Reference Centres in foodborne diseases surveillance consists in: - microbiological expertise (typing) of strains sent by medical laboratories - epidemiological surveillance - early warning - technical advisory function For example, the National Reference Centre for Salmonella and Shigella receives: Strains of Salmonella from medical laboratories Epidemiological informations about Salmonella strains isolated in laboratories performing serotyping. Data analysis according to serotype and place (department) and date of isolation allows to detect an unusual increase of a serotype which may be due to the consumption of a commercialized contaminated product. For foodborne infections, bacteria under surveillance by National Reference Centres are: Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Campylobacter, Vibrio, anaerobic bacteria (Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium botulinum), Listeria

Notified cases of foodborne diseases (mandatory notification + laboratories and hospital networks) Table FR 1 Notified cases of foodborne diseases FRANCE Disease Salmonellosis* Incidence rate** Listeriosis Incidence rate SHU E.coli O157+other serogroups/not O / / / /2 Trichinellosis Brucellosis* * Source of data: EU Zoonoses Reports ** per Mandatory notification Botulism Botulism is notifiable whether it occurs as single case or if more than one person is involved. The incidents are reported by the DDASS and the National Reference Centre for anaerobic microorganisms at the Institut Pasteur. The number of episodes of botulism is given in Table FR 2. Table FR 2 Botulism incidents reported in mandatory notification framework. FRANCE Total No. of episodes N of cases Foodborne outbreaks The following results include foodborne outbreaks notified in the framework of mandatory notification on one hand and the outbreaks of salmonellosis and shigellosis, reported by the National Reference Centre (CNR) on the other hand. Data collected from mandatory notification and data collected from the CNR can't be pooled for two main reasons: - there is actually no way to identify common notifications between the two systems; - the CNR provides data only for salmonellosis and shigellosis outbreaks. The foodborne origin of these outbreaks is not confirmed
5 Salmonellosis outbreaks notified by the CNR are used to assess the exhaustivity of the mandatory notification framework for salmonellosis outbreaks. In 1995, the exhaustivity of the mandatory notification system for salmonellosis outbreaks has been estimated to 20%. Because of previously discussed reasons, epidemiological characteristics of outbreaks are presented only for foodborne outbreaks reported in the mandatory notification framework. 3. Epidemiological characteristics of outbreaks The total number of reported outbreaks from 1988 to 1997, including mandatory notifications on one hand and CNR notifications on the other hand is shown in figure FR 2 and table FR 3.

11 While most of the total number of outbreaks from were reported to occur in various places outside from home, the majority of the salmonellosis outbreaks were reported to occur in private homes (see Figure FR7). This different frequency distribution reflects the efficacy of the control measures that have been implemented to reduce salmonellosis hazards in the restauration/public sector. In private homes, education programmes (e.g. storage and cooking) may, therefore, be needed as complementary measures to limit the transmission of salmonellosis.
