Abstract:
Objective In order to accurately quantify the proportion of bovine-derived ingredients in meat products, the Mitochondrial Cytb gene of bovine for quantitatively detection of bovine ingredients by the digital PCR (Dpcr) technology was developed in this paper.Methods This duplex dignal PCR was developed and optimized by designing bovine-derived specific, duck-derived specific, porcine-derived specific and animal-derived universal primers and probes according to standards.Results Good linear relationships between the raw beef meat weight and DNA content and between the DNA content and DNA copy number. By using the dPCR method, we found good linear relationships between the raw meat weight and DNA content and between the bovine -derived DNA content and DNA copy number. Using the DNA content as an intermediate value, we established the following formulae for calculating the weight of the original raw beef meat from the specific DNA copy number: Mbeef=0.020 9C+0.676. The mixed samples of known bovine quality were tested, and the results showed that the method can accurately quantify bovine-derive dingredients, which has litter interference by foreign species. Using this method to test 10 samples of the bovine-derived products on the market, by using the ratio of universal and specific amplified copy number, it could determine whether other animal-derived components were present in the beef meat product. it was found that the content of some samples was not up to standard.Conclusion This method can realize the quantitative detection of bovine origin components, which can be used as a basis to distinguish intentional addition from unintentional pollution and provide a strong technical guarantee for law enforcement and supervision departments.

Abstract:
Objective To develop a rapid and quantitative method for the detection of enrofloxacin in chicken and pork using magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) combined with surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).Methods Magnetic Fe3O4@ covalent organic framework (COF) nanocomposites were synthesized and applied as absorbent to separate and enrich enrofloxacin. The SERS spectra of enrofloxacin were collected by a portable Raman spectrometer with Ag nanoparticles as enhancing substrate. The characteristic SERS signals of enrofloxacin were used to realize its quantification.Results Intensities of SERS signals at 745.77 cm-1 and the logarithmic values of the concentrations of enrofloxacin in the range of 5.0×10-7 to 1.0×10-5 mol/L displayed a good linear relationship with a coefficient of determination of 0.962. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 0.07 and 0.23 μg/g respectively. The recoveries of enrofloxacin in chicken and pork were 80.97%~100.98% with relative standard deviations of 1.6%~4.6%.Conclusion The developed method has the advantages of simple in operate, short in time, high in sensitivity and stability, which provides a new method for the rapid detection and on-site detection of enrofloxacin.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the internal exposure levels of urinary five food additives among primary and secondary school students in Beijing.Methods In September 2016, 900 urine samples were collected from children and adolescents in primary and secondary schools in two districts of Beijing. The concentrations of five food additives were determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectroscopy, including benzoic acid, acesulfame, cyclamate, saccharin, and 4-hexylresorcinol. The estimated daily intake (EDI) values were calculated to assess the health risks according to age groups.Results Cyclamate and saccharin were detected in all urine samples and the detection frequency of acesulfame was 96.3%. The median concentration (4 788.5 ng/mL) of cyclamate was significantly higher than that of the other four food additives (84.1 ng/mL for saccharin, 92.6 ng/mL for acesulfame, 235.9 ng/mL for benzoic acid, and 7.6 ng/mL for 4-hexylresorcinol). Urinary concentration of benzoic acid was higher in students aged from 7 to 12 than in the students aged from 13 to 17 (P<0.001). The urinary concentrations of acesulfame, saccharin and 4-hexylresorcinol in students aged from 13 to 17 were significantly higher than those in students aged from 7 to 12 (P<0.001). Girls had a significantly higher urinary saccharin concentration than boys in the 13-17 age group (P<0.001). The median estimated daily intake (EDI) of the five food additives were 3.48 μg/kg·BW/d for benzoic acid, 1.36 μg/kg·BW/d for acesulfame, 69.01 μg/kg·BW/d for cyclamate, 1.22 μg/kg·BW/d for saccharin, and 0.11 μg/kg·BW/d for 4-hexylresorcinol, respectively.Conclusion Primary and secondary school students in Beijing were widely exposed to five food additives. Some children were expsed to cyclamate at levels higher than the acceptable daily intake (ADI), posing health risk. The exposure levels of the other four additives were far below the ADI and were generally at safe levels.

Abstract:
Objective To understand the contamination status of Campylobacter in meat products of Baotou, the pathogenic characteristics such as drug resistance genes, antibiotic sensitivities, molecular typing were analyzed.Methods Three hundred meat products were collected from 2019 to 2022, which were cultured for Campylobacter isolation. Sensitivities to antibiotics, drug resistance genes and mutation sites of isolated Campylobacter were detected and genetic characteristics were analyzed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) method as well.Results A total of 142 Campylobacter were isolated from 300 meat products, of which the isolation rate of raw poultry was 65.71% (138/210). The detection rate of Campylobacter coli was significantly higher than that of Campylobacter jejuni (χ2=12.48, P<0.01). Only 3 strains were sensitive to all 11 antibiotics, and drug resistance were mainly manifested in quinolones (naphthalenic acid, ciprofloxacin) and tetracycline. 26 strains were resistant to all 11 antibiotics and 130 strains were resistant to multiple antibiotics. Mutations in C-257-T site of gyrA gene had occyred in quinolone-resistant campylobacter. And tetO gene was detected in 91.09% of tetracycline-resistant strains. All Campylobacter could be divided into 105 PFGE types. The similarity coefficients of different PFGE types ranged from 35.1% to 100% and there was no a dominant PFGE type.Conclusion Campylobacter pollution in meat products in Baotou have been detected, and the pollution is particularly serious in raw poultry products. Campylobacter has a high degree of resistance to quinolones and tetracycline antibiotics, and the PFGE types are polymorphic.

Abstract:
Objective To provide scientific basis for disease control and prevention, the regularity and epidemiological characteristic of foodborne disease outbreaks induced by the eggs and egg products was analyzed.Methods The epidemiological characteristics of foodborne disease outbreaks induced by the eggs and egg products from national foodborne disease outbreak reporting system during 2010—2020 was analyzed by descriptive method.Results During 2010 and 2020, 529 events, 3 609 cases and 3 deaths of foodborne disease outbreaks induced by the eggs and egg products were reported in China’s Mainland, and the annual average incidence was 2.4 per ten million population. It occurred mainly in the summer and autumn seasons, with July having the highest number of events, accounting for 20.6% (109/529). The event was mainly distributed in the Southwest, east China, and central China regions, with the Southwest region having the highest number of events which accounted for 59.2% (313/529). The number of events, morbidity and mortality caused by preserved eggs were the largest, accounting for 61.8% (327/529), 41.2% (1 485/3 609) and 66.7% (2/3), respectively. The pathogenic factors of preserved eggs were mainly Salmonella (60.9%, 199/327), and the reason was mainly raw material pollution (20.5%, 67/327) and improper storage (11.0%, 36/327). Among the events caused by preserved eggs, the number of families in southwest China was the largest, accounting for 42.5% (139/327), followed by street stalls in southwest China, accounting for 18.7% (61/327).Conclusion Preserved eggs are the high risk food, Salmonella is the main pathogenic factor, and raw material pollution and improper storage are the main pollution links. It is suggested that relevant regulatory departments should strengthen cooperation, strengthen the monitoring of preserved eggs and the management of street stalls, and implement health education on food safety in southwest China in high-risk seasons.

Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical infection characteristics and delivery status of Listeriosis monocytogenes in pregnant women in a certain region, and to investigate the risk factors of infection cases to identify high-risk foods and risk factors, providing information for clinical diagnosis and treatment and improving pregnancy outcomes.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 10 cases of Listeriosis monocytogenes confirmed in a certain region from May 2020 to January 2023. The study investigated Listeriosis monocytogenes and analyzed the clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of the cases.Results Ten pregnant women had consumed fruits stored in the refrigerator, overnight meals, and various cold dishes before the onset of illness. The results of environmental sample testing in the homes of the 10 pregnant women showed that a total of 18 strains of Listeriosis monocytogenes were detected in the smear samples, mainly from kitchen chopping boards and food in the refrigerator. The gestational weeks of the 10 pregnant women infected with Listeriosis monocytogenes ranged from 16 to 38 weeks, with an average of (27.10±7.09) weeks. Nine cases had fever symptoms, eight cases had decreased fetal movement, accompanied by abdominal pain, nausea, and other digestive symptoms. Among the 10 pregnant women with Listeriosis monocytogenes, one case of fetal death occurred in utero, two cases of miscarriage, three cases of premature delivery, four cases of full-term delivery, and 85.71% (6/7) of newborns had Listeriosis monocytogenes infection.Conclusion Listeriosis monocytogenes pregnant women often occurs in the middle and late pregnancy, and is related to maternal dietary habits, food, and environmental cross-infection. Maternal infection with listeria monocytogenes does not have characteristic clinical manifestations, and adverse pregnancy outcomes may still occur after anti-infection, which may also cause neonatal infection. Health education on listeriosis should be strengthened to raise maternal vigilance and attention to the disease, and to prevent and control listeriosis.

Abstract:
Objective To provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases among the geriatrics in China’s Mainland, the epidemiological characteristics of foodborne diseases was understood.Methods Information on acute gastroenteritis cases aged ≥65 years in China’s Foodborne Disease Case Surveillance System from 2018 to 2022 was collected and analyzed.Results The overall prevelance of foodborne disease monitoring pathogens among the geriatrics in China was 9.15% (7 218/78 904, 95%CI: 8.95%, 9.35%, with Salmonella spp. being the highest (4.90%, 3 860/78 699, 95%CI: 4.75%, 5.06%), Norovirus (2.07%, 1 517/73 173, 95%CI: 1.97%, 2.18%), Diarrheogenic E. coli (1.39%, 1 015/72 763, 95%CI: 1.31%, 1.48%), Vibrio parahaemolyticus (1.00%, 782/78 386, 95%CI: 0.93%, 1.07%) and Shigella spp. (0.19%, 147/78 611, 95%CI: 0.16%, 0.22%). The prevelance of Salmonella spp. in male elderly was higher than that in female, while the prevelance of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in female was higher than that in male. The higher the age, the lower the prevelance was. Geriatrics with foodborne diseases had obvious seasonality. The prevelances of Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus and diarrheogenic E. coli reach their peak in July and August, while Norovirus reaches its peak in February and March. The overall prevelance varies across different regions of the country, and the differences are statistically significant (χ2=546.85, P<0.001). The categories of suspicious exposed foods mainly include meat and meat products, grains and its products, vegetables and its products, etc, with households being the main place of consumption.Conclusion Salmonella spp. has the highest prevelance in active surveillance of acute gastroenteritis among the geriatrics in China’s Mainland. The epidemiological characteristics of surveilled pathogens vary in different gender, age and regions, taking targeted measures should be formulated based on the corresponding distribution of characteristics to prevent foodborne diseases in geriatrics.

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.

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.
