Guidelines for the Investigation of Foodborne Disease for Local Government
Environmental Health Officers
 |
These guidelines are
the result of a collaboration between the Australian Institute of Environmental
Health, Local Government Environmental Health Officers, the Food Policy and
Programs Branch and the Communicable Disease Control Branch.
They provide information on types of
foodborne disease, suggestions for investigating premises,
descriptions of
pathogens that cause foodborne disease and show how questionnaires
can be used to collect essential information about the
people who are ill.
The attachments include specific
information, templates and questionnaires that
can be used during the investigation of foodborne disease, such as sampling of
food from implicated premises and the Hypothesis Generating Questionnaire.
