Foodborne source attribution, food fraud & disease burden
Foodborne source attribution estimates which food categories contribute to illnesses caused by specific hazards. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) measure the healthy years of life lost through illness and premature death. Published estimates, observed records from this platform, and modeled values are kept strictly apart.

Denominator: Model-estimated foodborne illnesses caused by the pathogen, distributed across the 17 IFSAC food categories (percentages sum to 100 across categories). Because the model distributes only illnesses whose implicated food could be assigned to a single category, these are shares among source-attributed illnesses.
Campylobacter spp.: IFSAC does not publish Campylobacter attribution percentages in this report: evidence suggests the sources of Campylobacter outbreaks differ considerably from the sources of non-outbreak illnesses, and an alternative method is still being developed.

| 3 | Supplements | Undeclared ingredient / potency claims | +267% | |
| 4 | Spices | Unauthorized colorants / fillers | +7% | |
| 5 | Oils and fats | Dilution / origin claims | +35% | |
| 6 | Honey | Syrup addition / mislabeling | +20% |
