These outbreaks caused a reported 162,995 persons to become ill.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus (31.1%) accounted for the largest number of outbreaks and cases. Chemical agents caused 37.5% of outbreaks and 28.6% of cases.ConclusionMore work needs to be done to improve the foodborne disease surveillance system.
