What are the two kinds of food borne illness?

The two main types of foodborne illness are foodborne infections and foodborne intoxications. Foodborne infections are caused by consuming food contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites, which then multiply in the body. In contrast, foodborne intoxications occur when food contains toxins produced by bacteria or other pathogens, leading to illness without the need for the organism to grow in the host. Both types can result in symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
