Foodborne Diseases (FBD) are diseases caused by microorganisms or toxins linked to contaminated food, resulting in gastrointestinal disorders and in some cases hospitalization and death. Outbreak is defined when two or more people manifest similar clinical symptoms after eating food in an equivalent period and space. The objective of this work was to trace the profile of FBD in Ceará from data extracted from the Central Laboratory of Public Health (Lacen-CE). The methodology used was the compilation of data issued in outbreak reports in the Laboratory Sample Management System (HARPYA) in 2021 and 2022. During this period, 7 cities reported 11 outbreaks of FBD. The pathogens found were Escherichia coli, coagulase-positive Staphylococci and Bacillus cereus. Knowing the profile of FBD and notifying the outbreaks is important for the sanitary inspection bodies to take protection, promotion and control measures, ensuring a better quality of life for the population.
