Data underlying the publication "Campylobacter in the domestic kitchen: linking human and microbiological behaviour"

Campylobacter is a major cause of foodborne illness worldwide, and poultry products are considered as the main source of campylobacteriosis. This study provides insight into the hygienic practices of handling raw chicken at home in the Netherlands and assesses the impact of these practices on the incidence of campylobacteriosis through a quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA). Monte Carlo simulations were performed to determine the distribution of the Probability of illness using @Risk simulation software (@Risk 8.2 for Excel, Palisade, Ithaca, USA), as an add-in to Microsoft Excel, with 1,000,000 iterations. Sensitivity and scenario analyses were conducted to strengthen the conclusions from QMRA.
