Summary Introduction
To suggest:
The reason for which the original food or organism responsible for food poisoning could not be identified in more than 80% of the food poisonings.
Introduction:
Food poisoning results from the consumption of spoiled food that cause illness in an individual. Food poisoning can be divided into 2 types: food intoxication and food infection. Food infection is caused by the consumption of contaminated food whereas food intoxication is caused by the consumption of toxic food.
