Abstract:
Objective To investigate the serotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance characteristics of Salmonella isolated from retail chicken in Beijing City.Methods A total of 135 Salmonella strains were isolated from retail chicken meat collected from three large wholesale markets in Fengtai District in Beijing City from 2014 to 2015. The serotype of these Salmonella strains was identified using both a Luminex serotyping kit and a traditional serum agglutination method. Multilocus sequence typing was performed according to the recommended conditions of the Enterobase database. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing plates were used to determine the susceptibility of the isolates against 12 classes of drugs representing 25 antimicrobial agents. PCR was used to detect the prevalence of the 10 mobile colistin resistance genes （mcr） and three NDM-type carbapenemases genes （blaNDM）.Results Among the 135 Salmonella strains， 6 serogroups were detected， with D1 and B being the main serogroups； 20 serotypes were detected， in which Enteritidis， Indiana， and Thompson were the dominant ones with percentages of 50.4%， 15.6%， and 8.1%， respectively； 21 ST types were obtained， and a good correspondence was observed between serotypes and ST types. 91.9% of all tested isolates showed resistance to the tested drugs and showed the highest resistance to nalidixic acid， ampicillin， ampicillin-sulbactam， tetracycline. Multi-drug resistant strains accounted for 71.1% of all strains and were resistant to as many as 18 kinds of antimicrobial compounds belonging to 10 categories. Among the 17 strains co-resistant to 8 or more classes of drugs， 16 were of the Indiana serotype. The proportion of strains with high multi-drug resistance was different in different packaging methods， different seasons， and different wholesale markets. All strains were negative for the mcr and blaNDM genes.Conclusion The serotypes of Salmonella isolates from chicken meat in wholesale markets in Beijing City from 2014 to 2015 were complex， with the dominant serotype of Salmonella Enterititis， and the overall antimicrobial resistance level of all isolates was high. To assess the possible food safety risks， continuous monitoring for Salmonella Indiana with high levels of antimicrobial resistance must be carried out and their drug resistance and transmission mechanisms must be studied to help develop first-line and ultimate drugs for clinical treatment of Salmonella diseases.

Abstract:
Objective To study the migration rule of melamine and formaldehyde under acidic conditions in bamboo fiber-melamine resin （BM） tableware， discuss the main factors affecting the migration level and safety risks， and provide suggestions for the safety management of such products.Methods A total of 14 brands of BM tableware （including baby and infant tableware） with clear identification of bamboo fiber in the market were collected. Ethanol （10%， V/V）and acetic acid （4%， V/V）were selected， and the tableware were soaked in according to GB 5009.156—2016， and then conduct migration tests under acidic conditions according to the national food safety standards GB 31604.15—2016 and GB 31604.48—2016.Results When BM tableware was exposed to 4% （V/V） acetic acid， the migration level of melamine and formaldehyde was much higher than that of 10% （V/V） ethanol. For a single sample， the migration trend of melamine and formaldehyde was positively correlated， and long-term repeated exposure to more acidic food may have caused a higher chance of excessive migration. With increased frequency of use， the migration level of melamine and formaldehyde increased gradually， which was more obvious in the products with higher bamboo fiber addition.Conclusion The migration rules of melamine and formaldehyde in BM tableware were basically the same after long term repeated use. The migration level of melamine better reflected the decomposition of resin. BM tableware had a higher chance of excessive migration when repeatedly contacting acidic food for a long time， especially for infant products. The guidance on labels and consumer education should be strengthened and the use of non-conforming raw materials should be eliminated to promote the development of the industry within safety standards.

Abstract:
Objective To understand the consumption of dendrobium officinale， by residents in nine Chinese provinces， and assess the cumulative levels of exposure related to four heavy metals （lead， cadmium， mercury， and arsenic） in dendrobium officinale consumers.Methods Consumption data from nine Chinese provinces from 2019 and 2022 and a literature review were used based on a simple distribution model and the hazard index （HI） method to assess the health risk of four heavy metals .Results Consumers mainly preferred dried dendrobium officinale （37.3%） and commonly consumed it by brewing tea or cooking soup. The average value of a single consumption amount was 8.2 g/person. Fresh dendrobium officinale was consumed by 12.9% of the surveyed population， primarily through juicing with an average single serving size of 30.8 g/person. The exposure assessment results indicate that in the case of dendrobium officinale （dried/fresh）， the exposure levels of four heavy metals exposure in dried products were consistently higher than in fresh ones. Additionally， the average exposure level of lead （dried/fresh） was the highest； arsenic exposure levels for different gender-age groups were above the health guidance value or 5% reference dose ［Margin of exposure （MOE>1）］. Average lead exposure exceeded the standard （MOE>1）， whereas the 95th percentile （P95） values exposure were below 1 （MOE<1）. Cadmium and mercury exposure levels are below the 5% health guidance value.The assessment results of heavy metal exposure in residents consuming dendrobium officinale in different provinces indicate that residents in Jiangxi Province have the highest levels of exposure to four types of heavy metals. The MOE values for high-end exposure to lead in both Jiangxi Province and Zhejiang Province are less than 1. The cumulative assessment of 4 elements indicates that the HI values for consumers of dendrobium officinale are all less than 1.Conclusion Consumers of dendrobium officinale in China have low health risks associated with arsenic， cadmium， and mercury exposure. However， individuals with high food intake individuals should pay attention to the health risks associated with lead exposure.

Abstract:
Objective To analyze the contamination of aquatic products with pathogens in Yunnan Province and provide a basis for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases.Methods From 2014 to 2021， aquatic products obtained from 16 cities in Yunnan Province were randomly used for pathogen detection， and statistical methods were used to analyze the differences in product type， regional and seasonal distribution， and contamination source between varied aquatic products.Results A total of 3 540 samples were collected in the four categories of aquatic food， fresh aquatic animals， cold aquatic animals， frozen surimi products， and ready-to-eat products. Nine pathogenic microorganisms and one parasite were detected， with a total detection rate of 10.8%. Vibrio parahaemolyticus （10.3%）， Listeria monocytogenes （4.2%）， and Salmonella （3.3%） were the most common pathogenic microorganisms. Angiostrongylus cantonensis was commonly present in intermediate hosts （9.0%）， whereas the detection rate of other pathogens was low. The detection rates of pathogens in different aquatic products were statistically different （χ2=34.077，P<0.001）， mainly in fresh and cold aquatic animals. The chi-square test showed differences in the regional distribution， origin， and environments of some pathogens. The detection rates of V. parahaemolyticus （χ2=15.850， P=0.001） and Vibrio alginolyticus （χ2=8.400， P=0.029） were statistically different in a seasonal distribution.Conclusion The contamination of aquatic products by pathogens was common in Yunnan Province， and this is a risk factor for foodborne illness. Changing dietary habits， improving aquatic product storage and transportation conditions， and strengthening pathogenic microorganism monitoring are effective ways to reduce the incidence of related food-borne diseases.

Abstract:
Objective To provide basis for further improving the standards management of food enterprise in China， the current situation and the “stricter” indicators of food enterprise standard filing in China was analyzed， and the standard management situation of food enterprises in China was systematically understood.Methods Querying the provincial government service network， the official website of the Health Commission， and the food enterprise standard filing information platform were collected， and the food enterprise standard filing work and the “stricter” indicator filing in China were sort out and analyzed.Results There were certain differences in the standard filing system， scope， organization， and handling methods of food enterprises in various provinces. In December 2022， 4 380 food enterprise standards were filed in China， with 91.44% （4 005/4 380） for common food at most. From the category of filling indicators， the highest proportion of pollutant indicators was 93.16% （3 707/3 979）， and the highest proportion of lead in all indicators was 83.66% （3 329/3 979）. 83.55% （3 195/3 824） of food enterprise standard “stricter” indicators was 0%-20%.Conclusion There are significant differences in work modes among different provinces， and the quality of food enterprise standards filing is not high. Most filing standards use lead as a “stricter” indicator， and the majority are stricter than the percentage below 20%. The effect on improving the level of food safety management and product quality is not obvious. It’s suggested to optimize the food enterprise standard filing system and explore the feasibility of building a national enterprise standard filing information platform.

Abstract:
Objective To prevent the recurrence of nitrite poisoning caused by siphonage through a waterpipe siphon， its causes were investigated and analyzed， and prevention and control measures are discussed.Methods A field epidemiological investigation， hygiene investigation， and laboratory testing were used to identify causes and possible sources of contamination in this poisoning event.Results A total of nine cases were found with cyanosis （100.00%）， fatigue （66.67%）， and nausea （55.56%）. The epidemiological curve showed one point source exposure pattern， with an interval of 50 min between the first and last cases and an average incubation period of 20 min. Different concentrations of nitrite were detected in vomit， residual food， and tap water. A negative correlation was observed between nitrite concentration in vomits and diastolic blood pressures （rs=0.798， P<0.05）. Patient symptoms were significantly relieved after receiving specific treatment for nitrite poisoning.Conclusion This incident was caused by an anticorrosive solution containing nitrite in pickling tanks flowing back into the tap water pipeline through siphonage， which led to tap water contamination and poisoning. The sense of responsibility and standardized management of enterprises are suggested to be strengthened. The water pipe network for production should be separated from that of domestic water and non-return valves should be installed at key locations to avoid similar poisoning events.

Anal swabs or feces were taken from all cases of diarrhea and the samples were tested for etiology as required. Data were processed with χ2 trend test or χ2 trend test.Results A total of 15 484 specimens were collected from 2017 to 2021， and the total detection rate of pathogens was 23.75% （3 678/15 484）. The detection rate of Norovirus， Salmonella， diarrheagenic Escherichia coli， Vibrio parahaemolyticus， and Shigella were 10.01% （1 550/15 484）， 6.16% （954/15 484）， 6.10% （944/15 484）， 1.66% （257/15 484）， and 1.00% （155/15 484）， respectively. The detection rate of pathogens in different years （χ2trend=11.249， P<0.05） and different quarters （χ2trend=146.119， P<0.05） had statistical significance. Among all age groups， the pathogen detection rate of patients under 11 years old was the highest （30.29%， 1 123/3 708）. The pathogen detection rate of students was higher. The top three foods with suspected exposure were meat and its products （17.62%， 648/3 678）， grain and its products （15.17%， 558/3 678）， and multiple foods （13.78%， 507/3 678）. The site with largest number of suspected exposure cases was the household （69.93%， 2 572/3 678）.Conclusion The primary pathogenic bacteria of foodborne diarrhea cases in Anhui province were Norovirus and Salmonella and the total detection rate increased quarter by quarter. The major suspected exposed foods and places were meat and its products and households， respectively. Different foodborne disease prevention and control measures need to be developed for different populations， quarters， exposed foods， and places.

Abstract:
Objective To analyze an acute gastroenteritis outbreak caused by co-infection with Vibrio parahaemolyticus （V. parahaemolyticus） and non-O1/O139 Vibrio cholerae （V. cholerae）.Methods Four anal swabs， 12 food samples， and 8 environmental samples enriched in liquid culture media were subjected to pathogen screening with real-time PCR. V. parahaemolyticus and V. cholerae strains isolated were subjected to whole genome sequencing， and virulence and antibiotic resistance genes were screened. Cladograms were constructed based on core genome single nucleotide polymorphisms.Results V. parahaemolyticus strains were detected in anal swab samples with real-time PCR that were toxRVP+/tdh+/trh-， and two of them were positive for V. cholerae. The positive rate of V. parahaemolyticus in the anal swab samples was 100% （4/4）， the isolates were toxRVP+/tdh+/trh-， and their serotype was O4：KUT. The positive rate of V. cholerae culture in the anal swabs of patients was 50% （2/4）. The serogroup of the isolates was non-O1/O139， and one of them was toxRVC+/ctx/t3ss+. The positive rate of V. parahaemolyticus in the food samples was 66.67% （8/12）， and that in the environment samples was 12.50% （1/8）. The strains isolated from food and environmental samples were toxRVP+/tdh-/trh-. The positive rate of V. cholerae culture in the food samples was 25.00% （3/12） and the isolated strains were toxRVC+/ctx/t3ss-. The V. parahaemolyticus strains isolated from patient， food， and environment samples formed 10 distinct lineages. The four patient isolates were highly clonal. The V. cholerae strains isolated from two patients and three food samples formed five distinct lineages.Conclusion The outbreak was caused by co-infection with V. parahaemolyticus and non-O1/O139 V. cholerae. Real-time PCR and whole-genome sequence analysis of strains should be performed in the detection and analysis of outbreaks caused by vibrio co-infection. Additionally， optimization of vibrio culture pathways is recommended.

Abstract:
As a common foodborne pathogen， Escherichia coli （E. coli） O157：H7 can cause serious diseases in human body at low infectious doses. Lateral flow chromatographic assay （LFCA） can meet the requirement of detecting E. coli O157：H7 in food samples rapidly due to its efficient separation property. At present， the widely-used LFCA methods generate weak signal strength and possess low detection sensitivity， which can hardly detect low concentration of E. coli O157：H7. Therefore， this review focuses on the newly published LFCA literature， and a systematic induction is performed concerning the detection efficiency and sensitivity of the above studies. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are compared in this review， which will provide important conclusive guidance for the development of LFCA in E. coli O157：H7 detection.

Abstract:
The result of food safety risk assessment is the scientific basis for formulating the food safety standards and for exercising food safety supervision and administration. To exert the effects of food safety risk assessment in supervision and administration, some countries established specific agencies for food safety risk assessment, as well as in China with National Food Safety Risk Assessment Expert Committee. Despite that there is still a long way to go for China in food safety risk assessment compared to developed countries, the technologies applied in formulating food safety standards, handling of food safety accidents and risk communications exerted significant effect. However, we still need to promote constructions building in system of food safety risk assessment from the aspects of organizations, capacities and technologies in risk assessment and human resources considering the situation of food safety and needs of food safety supervision.

Objectives To investigate the current status of single raw material health foods registration in China. Methods The registration of 419 single raw material health foods from the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) in the period of 2003-2007 were studied and analyzed, including the registration number, function claims, material categories and active ingredients, etc. Results The number of single raw material health foods accounted for 13.1% of total registered functional foods in this period. Half of the function claims were enhancing immune function. The active ingredients were nonspecific. The most common ingredients were polysaccharide, total saponins and total flavonoid. The chief categories of component were traditional Chinese material, foodstuff, edible fungi and algae. Conclusions The use of extracted materials might bring potential quality and safety issues because of no unified standards and processing technique. It is necessary to standardize management for extracted materials urgently. Take the single raw material products as a trial to seek a simplified mode for the registration and management of health foods.

Abstract:
To understand the distribution characteristics of heavy metal contamination in dairy products, and to evaluate the status and the extent of heavy metal contamination.Methods The contents of Pb, total-Hg, Cd, Cr and total-As in raw milk, fermented milk, sterilized milk, infant formula and milk powder during 2012-2013 were detected. Single factor contamination index method and comprehensive contamination index method of Nemerow were used to evaluate the contamination level according to the grading standard of agriculture product quality. Results The detection rate of Pb, total-As, total-Hg, Cd and Cr were 14.0%(21/150), 24.7%(37/150), 82.0%(109/133), 26.3%(35/133)and 72.9%(43/59) in dairy products, respectively. Pb in raw milk and Cd in sterilized milk were not detected. The mean, P75 and P95 of total-Hg in raw milk were higher than the limit. The P95 of total-Hg in fermented milk and sterilized milk and Cd in milk powder were higher than the limit. The detection rate and single factor contamination index of total-Hg were the highest in raw milk, fermented milk and sterilized milk, which indicated there was severe contamination in the raw milk(PHg>1) and mild contamination in fermented milk (PHg>0.6). The detection rate of Cr was the highest in infant formula and milk powder, while single factor contamination index of Cd was the highest. The heavy metal contamination in raw milk ranked the first with Pn=0.754, reaching mild level of contamination. The heavy metal contamination in dairy products could be lined in a decreasing order of raw milk, fermented milk, sterilized milk, milk powder and infant formula.Conclusion Four kinds of dairy products were at the safe level of heavy metal contamination. Total-Hg was the dominant heavy metal contamination in liquid milk, while Cd in solid milk. Single factor contamination index and comprehensive contamination index of total-Hg in raw milk indicated that measures should be taken to prevent the contamination.
