ABSTRACT
The occurrence of foodborne diseases (FBD) has increased in the last decade as a result of negligence for hygiene. Prevalence of FBD due to lack of education, insufficient health services result in the spread of disease on a larger scale. Personal hygiene, as well as local cleanliness, is the most important aspect of the overall health community. Pandemic like COVID is due to lack of personal hygiene as well as health education. The data published by global bodies like World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that the FBD should be controlled by increasing awareness related to personal hygiene and health education. This article reviewed the global occurrence of FBD, preventive measures and solutions for an overall healthy community. The aim of this review is to analyse reports related to foodborne diseases over the globe and suggest guidelines for community health. The scope of this review is in food safety and quality – microbiological and chemical in Food research Journal. Reviews, reports, research data related to foodborne diseases have been analysed and future solutions for building a better health community have been suggested. A total of 74 references including research articles, reviews, press notes, government sites related to foodborne diseases over the globe have been reviewed and data collection has been analysed to suggest better health community guidelines. All the references showed that the occurrence of foodborne diseases are increasing day by day and thus control measure policies have to be implemented worldwide. These include strict government policies, education of food vendors, strict action against those who are not following it, educating the importance of personal as well as community hygiene. These results will surely help to build a better healthy community in future. The data showed that foodborne disease is affecting many populations at any age each year leading to morbidity and mortality. The disease is caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi. The common symptoms are diarrhoea, vomiting, fever and abdominal pain. Awareness and education related to community health should be spread using advertisements, social media, newspapers, news channels to lower the incidence of foodborne diseases.
