Food borne outbreaks have been happening for a long time and most food borne illnesses still go unreported. But with advances in technology and tracking, what were once considered isolation cases are now being found to have connections and can be traced back to common sources. It is more likely that the reporting has improved rather than the relative number of cases have increased.
The most common cause of food poisoning is consuming food that is contaminated with bacteria, such as Salmonella or E. coli.

Bacteria and viruses are the most common causes of food poisoning. Parasites, mold, toxins, contaminants and allergens are also causes of food poisoning.

The common name for Salmonella is bacterial food poisoning.
The most common bacterial microorganism to cause food poisoning is by far Escherichia coli - E. coli. Other common bacterial pathogens that cause food poisoning are Salmonella, Campylobacter and Listeria. Common viruses that cause food poisoning are Noroviruses, Rotaviruses and Enteroviruses. In some classifications, Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E viruses are considered to be causes of food poisoning, although they have much longer incubation periods and affect organs outside stomach and intestines. To be complete, it is worth going slightly outside the scope of the question and mention another common cause of food poisoning: toxins (although, they are not organisms - they are biologically active organic and inorganic compounds).
E coli, and Salmonella are 2 of them.
the most common cause is usually food born bacteria that cause food spoilage or some bacterial endospores (= inactive forms of bacteria ) that germinate in the human intestine and cause disease
In the food you eat, if it smells it has food poisoning in it
General indications of food poisoning include diarrhea, stomach pain or cramps, gurgling sounds in the stomach, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Dehydration is a common complication
