 * Keep. I am pretty sure that is the most common way that this is expressed, and the term which is preferred in technical contexts. While several variants exists  I think they should all point to a primary entry at  (though if another is more common outside of the US that is worth noting somewhere). I would not advocate to delete even if this is somewhat SOP, since it is a term of art in epidemiology. Also, of course, . -  TheDaveRoss  12:44, 21 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep. This seems SOP. Could be kept per WT:THUB, based on Q272002 and WP interwikis: cs:"alimentární onemocnění", it:"intossicazione alimentare", es:"intoxicación alimentaria", fr:"intoxication alimentaire". However, the translations are currently listed at the apparent synonym food poisoning, which could thus serve as the translation hub. OTOH WP says "food poisoning" is colloquial, but dictionaries including medical ones have "food poisoning" and not "foodborne illness" and do not indicate "food poisoning" as colloquial. Thus, THUB is inconclusive. Be it as it may, clarify whether "food-borne disease" is a synonym of "food poisoning" (one would think so per WP, but WP must not be trusted), pick the best English term as the main one, host translations there, create the other synonyms as soft redirects, and keep them so the reader knows they are in use and are synonyms of each other. --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:23, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
