Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) is the most commonly reported foodborne gastrointestinal infection and ranks among the top three causes of foodborne bacterial outbreaks in China. This study analyzed NTS data from the Foodborne Disease Surveillance System in China from 2013 to 2022 to summarize epidemiological features and assess reporting rate changes. We employed joinpoint regression model to calculate the annual percentage change in NTS reporting rate, sex reporting rate, as well as rural-urban reporting rate. We applied the Pearson correlation coefficient to evaluate the correlation of NTS reporting rate and the national per capita consumption of major foods and cases of COVID-19. During this period, 55,266 NTS cases were reported, with reporting rates increasing significantly (AAPC [CRR] = 21. 89%). Urban areas accounted for 70. 06% of cases, but rural patients had higher hospitalization rates than urban ones (41. 54% vs. 33. 69%, p
