Background In the Netherlands, toxoplasmosis ranks third in disease burden among foodborne pathogens, with an estimated health loss of 1,900 Disability Adjusted Life Years and a cost-of-illness estimated at €44 million annually. We performed a Social Cost-Benefit Analysis (SCBA) to evaluate the net value of two potential interventions, freezing meat and improving biosecurity in pig farms, for the Dutch society. Methods We assessed the costs and benefits of the two interventions and compared them with the current practice of education, especially during pregnancy. A ‘minimum scenario’ and a ‘maximum scenario’ was assumed, using input parameters with least benefits to society and input parameters with most benefits to society, respectively. Results The freezing meat intervention was far more effective than the biosecurity intervention. Despite high freezing costs, freezing two meat products: steak tartare and mutton leg yielded net social benefits in both the minimum and maximum scenario, ranging from €10.6 million to €31 million for steak tartare and €0.6 million to €1.5 million for mutton leg. The biosecurity intervention would result in net costs in all scenarios ranging from €1 million to €2.5 millions. Conclusions From a public health perspective (i.e. reducing the burden of toxoplasmosis) freezing steak tartare and leg of mutton is to be considered.
