    Abstract:
    A total number of 50 foodborne botulism cases were registered in Poland in 2006 (incidence rate 0.13 per 100,000 population), in rural areas--34 cases (incidence 0.23) and in urban areas--16 cases (incidence 0.07). There were 35 sporadic cases, 4 outbreaks of two persons and one outbreak involving three and four persons. Tinned meat (especially home made) were the main vehicle of botulin toxin. Two deaths from foodborne botulism were registered.
