    A total number of 49 foodborne botulism cases were registered in Poland in 2007 (incidence rate 0.13 per 100,000 population), in rural areas--37 cases (incidence 0.25) and in urban areas--12 cases (incidence 0.05). There were 31 sporadic cases (60%), 6 outbreaks of two persons and 2 outbreaks involving three persons. Tinned meat (especially home made) was the main vehicle of botulin toxin. One death from foodborne botulism was registered.
