One of the Food Standards Agency's ongoing commitments to food safety is surveillance. As part of this, we actively monitor the levels of infectious intestinal disease (IID) in the UK.

While we regularly review the number of confirmed IID cases, not all cases that occur in the UK population will be recorded by public health systems.
