ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of rural banquet foodborne disease outbreaks in China from 2010 to 2020 and provide a reference for formulating rural banquet foodborne disease prevention and control measures.MethodsData on foodborne disease outbreaks in rural banquet reported in the China Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance System from 2010 to 2020 were statistically analyzed.ResultsFrom 2010 to 2020， a total of 1 421 foodborne disease outbreaks were reported in rural banquets， with 31 078 cases， 64 deaths， a fatality rate of 0.21%， and an average of 22 cases per outbreak. The overall incidence showed an upward trend. The top five provinces in China were Yunnan Province， Jiangsu Province， Hu’nan Province， Sichuan Province and Anhui Province， with 728 reports accounting for 51.23% （728/1 421）. The time distribution was mainly concentrated in the second and third quarters of the year. According to the analysis of pathogenic factors， pathogenic microorganisms， such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella， had the highest number of cases. The disease factor causing the highest number of deaths was methanol， followed by aconitine plants， toadstools， and toxic wild honey. Meat （livestock meat， poultry meat） and aquatic products such as crustaceans， mollusks and fish were the main causes of foodborne diseases.ConclusionBased on the high incidence areas， high incidence seasons， main pathogenic factors and causes of foodborne diseases in rural banquets in China， effective measures were implemented， focusing on monitoring and management to successfully prevent and control the occurrence of such diseases.
