Results A total of 98 food poisoning events occurred in Guangxi in 2010-2014, with 2,446 cases and 35 deaths involved. The annual average incidence rate was 1.04/100,000, and the annual average mortality rate was 1.43%. The second quarter (30 events,806 cases, accounting for 30.61% and 32.95% raspectively)and fourth quarter (2.46%)of a year had the peak occurrence of the events and the highest mortality rate. As for month distribution, April had the most events (13,16.60%) and cases (406,16.60%)and December (12.50%)had the highest mortality rate. The main sites of food poisoning were at school, in countys and towns. Microorganism was the most dominant cause, leading to 60.63% (1,483 cases) of food poisoning.The highest mortality was due to toxic animal, reaching 28.57%. Conclusions The situation of food safety in Guangxi has improved significantly. In order to further control the occurrence of food poisoning events, supervision should be focused on high-risk period, prone areas and sites, and high-risk pathogenic factors. A comprehensive strategy should be implemented.
