French term or phrase: TIAC toxi infection alimentaire collective

I know this has come up before and was translated as food poisoning, but I'm wondering is there a similar acronym.

In addition this is a very specific powerpoint presentation in which the "collective" notion is important.

The whole of the document deals with good hygiene practice in the meat cutting rooms and other catering areas of a large establishment.

A foodborne disease outbreak is defined as a group of people developing the same illnesses after ingesting the same food. If you think you or others became ill from eating the same food, please report this outbreak to your local (city or county) health department .

No acronyms for this at the CDC site.

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I was looking for, and it is worth knowing that the acronymn FBI exists. I also found occurrences of foodborne disease, but less frequently.

or community-acquired food poisoning (CAFP)...though I wonder if that is mainly a "translated" term and not as common in English-source texts
