We evaluated the Medical Information System (MedISys) as an early-warning system for the detection of
food- and feed-borne hazards. Nine hazards were selected in the period from January 2007 to March 2009
from the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) and traced back on MedISys and ProMED-mail. In
addition, from January to March 2009, food- and feed-borne (re-)emerging hazards were monitored on
MedISys and traced back on ProMED-mail and RASFF. MedISys has demonstrated to be an effective
early-warning system for food- and feed-borne hazards. However, further customization is required to
improve its sensitivity, in particular by increasing the number of multi-lingual categories related to food
and feed items. MedISys tended to detect food- and feed-borne hazards earlier and more frequently than
ProMED-mail, but the information from both systems was often complementary.
