世界卫生组织近日发布全球食源性疾病负担最新估算，数据显示不安全食品每年导致约8.66亿例疾病和150万例死亡1。该分析评估了来自194个国家在2000至2021年间的42种主要食源性危害1。
5岁以下儿童成为最脆弱的群体1。尽管这一年龄段仅占全球人口的9%，却占食源性疾病病例的近三分之一，其面临的风险是年长儿童和成人的三倍1。地域差异明显，非洲和东南亚地区占全球食源性疾病的近四分之三，以及全球死亡的60%1。
化学污染成为主要致死原因1。2021年，化学污染物占食源性污染导致死亡的73%，其中无机砷占化学相关死亡的42%，铅占31%1。食源性疾病造成的经济负担同样严重，2021年生产力损失调整后达6470亿美元1。世卫组织总干事谭德塞表示："食品安全不是抽象问题——它涉及每一顿饭、每个家庭、每一天"1。
The World Health Organization has released updated global estimates on the burden of foodborne disease, revealing that unsafe food causes approximately 866 million illnesses and 1.5 million deaths every year.1 Children under five face a risk level three times higher than older children and adults, and despite representing only 9 percent of the global population, they account for nearly one-third of all foodborne illness cases.1
The WHO analysis examined 42 major foodborne hazards across 194 countries between 2000 and 2021.1 Chemical contamination emerged as a significant threat, accounting for 73 percent of foodborne deaths in 2021, with inorganic arsenic responsible for 42 percent of chemically-related deaths and lead accounting for 31 percent.1 The economic impact is substantial, with foodborne disease generating approximately 31 billion dollars in productivity losses in 2021 before adjustment, rising to 647 billion dollars after adjustment.1
Geographically, Africa and Southeast Asia bear a disproportionate burden, accounting for nearly three-quarters of global foodborne illness cases and 60 percent of deaths.1 WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasized the urgency of the issue, stating: "Food safety is not an abstract issue—it touches every meal, every household, every day."1 The organization has designated June 7, 2026, as World Food Safety Day, with the theme "From Burden to Solutions—Food Safety Everywhere."1
