^aDue to changes in the FBO reporting system over years the mean annual reporting rate was not calculated. Latvia reported the mean value for 2015 and 2016 to be 5.35 food‐borne outbreaks (per 100,000 population).

Outbreak reporting rate for 2017 and mean value for the seven previous years (2010–2016) is also provided.
