Abstract
Objectives: Foodborne disease outbreaks linked to fruits and vegetables have been increasing in occurrence worldwide; therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the reported foodborne outbreaks associated with fruit and vegetable consumption in Brazil from 2008 to 2014.
Results and Limitations: Thirty produce related outbreaks resulted in 2926 illnesses, 347 hospitalizations, and no deaths. Only bacterial pathogens were identified as etiological agents. Among these, Salmonella was the most frequent (30 per cent of outbreaks) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (23.3 per cent), Escherichia coli (10 per cent), Bacillus cereus (6.6 per cent), and thermotolerant coliforms (3.3 per cent), whereas etiological agents could not be determined for 26.6 per cent of outbreaks. The most common food vehicles implicated in outbreaks were generically named as fruits and vegetables (46.6 per cent of outbreaks). The term salad was used generically and specifically like salads (two outbreaks), raw/cooked salads (four outbreaks), vegetable salad, tropical salad, Caesar salad, and raw salad of cabbage and tomato. Only one outbreak was related exclusively to fruit (fruit pulp), whereas other outbreaks were related to cooked carrot, lettuce, cucumber, watermelon/cabbage, and chard/beet. Contamination sources and issues related to the future control of produce-related foodborne disease outbreaks are discussed.

巴西在2008年至2014年间与果蔬相关的食源性疾病暴发事件
研究目的：与水果和蔬菜有关的食源性疾病暴发在世界范围内不断增加，因此，本研究的目的是确定2008年至2014年巴西水果和蔬菜消费相关的食源性疾病暴发事件。
结果与局限：30起产品有关的疾病暴发事件导致2926例患者，347例住院治疗，0死亡。只有细菌病原体被鉴定为病原体。其中，沙门氏菌是最常见的（30％比例），其次是金黄色葡萄球菌（23.3％），大肠埃希氏菌（10％），蜡状芽孢杆菌（6.6％）和耐热大肠杆菌（3.3％），而有26.6％的比例无法确定病原体。与疫情有关的最常见的食品通常为水果和蔬菜（占疫情的46.6％）。沙拉一词通常用于salads（两次爆发），生/熟沙拉（四次爆发），蔬菜沙拉，热带沙拉，凯撒沙拉以及卷心菜和番茄生沙拉。只有一次爆发事件与水果（果肉）有关，而其他爆发与煮熟的胡萝卜、生菜、黄瓜、西瓜/卷心菜和甜菜有关。本文对与未来控制生产有关的食源性疾病爆发相关污染源问题进行了讨论。
