風險評估硏究 - 保質期長的預先包裝冷藏食品的微生物質素
Risk Assessment Study - Microbiological Quality of Prepackaged Long Shelf Life Refrigerated Products

李斯特菌病主要是因食用受李斯特菌污染的食物引致，大部分身體健康的人在感染後不會出現病徵或只出現類似感冒症狀。但對孕婦、長者和免疫力較低的人，則可能構成嚴重的健康風險。中心最近完成評估保質期長的預先包裝冷藏食品在保質期屆滿時的微生物質素，特別是李斯特菌的含量。有關的評估結果已上載於中心網頁。
Listeriosis is usually caused by eating food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Most healthy individuals do not develop symptoms or only have flu-like symptoms. However, it can pose serious health risks for pregnant women, the elderly and those with a weaker immune system. The CFS has recently completed a risk assessment study on the microbiological quality, particularly the level of Listeria monocytogenes,of prepackaged long shelf life refrigerated food products at the end of shelf life. The findings has been uploaded onto the CFS website.

專項食品調查 - 即食食品含產氣莢膜梭狀芽孢桿菌情況
Targeted Food Surveillance on Clostridium perfringens in Ready-to-eat Food

由產氣莢膜梭狀芽孢桿菌引致的食物中毒，通常與未徹底煮熟的食物或已煮熟但放在不當溫度下貯存或長時間冷卻的食物有關。大量配製的食物，尤其是已煮熟的肉類和家禽，以及在烹煮後放在室溫下長時間冷卻的食物，均屬高風險食物。中心進行了專項食品調查以了解即食食品含產氣莢膜梭狀芽孢桿菌的情況。
Food poisoning caused by Clostridium perfringens is usually associated with inadequately cooked foods or cooked foods that are cooled for prolonged period or stored under sub-optimal temperature. Foods prepared in bulk, especially cooked meat and poultry dishes, and stored at ambient temperatures with a long cooling period after cooking are at high risk. The CFS conducted a targeted surveillance on Clostridium perfringens in ready-to-eat food in order to better assess the situation.

風險簡訊 - 蕨菜與致癌物
Risk in Brief-Bracken Ferns and Carcinogen

蕨菜是一類由Pteridium aquilinum品種的蕨及其多個亞種組成的蕨類植物，遍布世界多處。人類自古以來已懂得採摘蕨菜作食物和其他用途。由於從蕨菜中可分離出許多種化學物，其中的原蕨苷（ptaquiloside）是一種水溶性甚高的化學物，其可能致癌的特性令人關注。為減低食用風險，又鑑於香港市民並不常吃蕨菜，於是中心向消費者作出一些安全食用建議。
Bracken ferns are a group of ferns of the species Pteridium aquilinum and its numerous subspecies.  Bracken ferns are found in many parts of the world and had been harvested for food and other uses for centuries. Numerous chemicals had been isolated from bracken ferns, including ptaquiloside, a highly water soluble chemical, had aroused much interest as it may have carcinogenic properties.  Toxic chemicals were reported to be found in all parts of bracken fern.  To reduce the consumption risk of bracken ferns, which are not commonly consumed in Hong Kong, we have some recommendations to consumers.
