Objective To understand the contamination of Bacillus cereus in foodstuff of Jilin Province from 2011 to 2019, and to provide theoretical basis for food safety monitoring and prevention of foodborne diseases. Method 3 173 samples were collected from the catering service links and circulation links of nine prefecture (city) levels in Jilin Province from 2011 to 2019. According to the method of GB / T 4789.14-2003 national food safety standard microbiological examination of food, Bacillus cereus in food was detected, The detection rate was analyzed statistically using rate, composition ratio and X2 test. Result Among 3173 food samples from 2011 to 2019 in Jilin Province, the total detection rate of Bacillus cereus was 23.6%, the highest in 2015 (38.5%), and the lowest in 2017 (11.8%); Baishan City had the highest detection rate (35.8%), Yanbian Prefecture (31.4%), Siping City had the lowest detection rate (15.3%); The detection rate of egg and egg products was the highest (60.0%), followed by milk and dairy products (39.0%) and infant food (31.1%); Bacillus cereus was the highest in department stores (32.3%), followed by snack bars and beverage stores (30.9%), fast food stores (29.1%); The median [interquartile interval] of the detection result of Bacillus cereus by CFU method was 5.8[2.9-8.7] CFU/g(mL), and the median [interquartile interval] of that by MPN method was 6.4[3.2-9.6] MPN/g(mL).Conclusion There were different degrees of Bacillus cereus contamination of foodstuff in Jilin Province. Among the different cities, foodstuff samples collected from Baishan City was contaminated by Bacillus cereus much more serious. Eggs and egg products, milk and dairy products were the main contaminated food by Bacillus cereus. Safety monitoring and management of the snack bar, beverage shop and places in department store should be strengthen for their foodstuff sales.
