Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
  • Food Safety

Background:

  • Food-borne illnesses pose a significant public health burden in Canada.
  • Investigating multi-jurisdictional outbreaks is complex, requiring extensive collaboration.
  • Efficient outbreak response necessitates coordinated efforts among various investigative partners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the Public Health Agency of Canada's Food-borne Illness Outbreak Response Protocol (FIORP).
  • To emphasize FIORP's role as the primary guidance for multi-jurisdictional food-borne illness outbreak investigations in Canada.

Main Methods:

  • The current FIORP version was developed in 2010 by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
  • Consultation involved key stakeholders including Health Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and provincial/territorial bodies.

  • The protocol outlines principles and procedures for collaborative outbreak investigations.

    • Main Results:

    • FIORP provides guiding principles and operating procedures to improve collaboration and coordination.
    • The protocol has guided 22 multi-jurisdictional outbreak investigations led by the Public Health Agency of Canada between 2011 and 2013.
    • FIORP has also informed the development of provincial outbreak response protocols.

    Conclusions:

    • The FIORP facilitates and enhances the timely and effective investigation of multi-jurisdictional food-borne illness outbreaks.
    • Effective implementation of FIORP is crucial for managing complex food safety events.
    • The protocol serves as a vital tool for strengthening Canada's food-borne illness surveillance and response systems.
