專項食品調查 -即食食品含蠟樣芽孢桿菌情況
Targeted Food Surveillance - Bacillus cereus in ready-to-eat food

蠟樣芽孢桿菌普遍存在於環境中，並可產生孢子，這些孢子能抵受熱力，承受烹煮溫度。蠟樣芽孢桿菌可產生不同毒素，引致兩類食物中毒。致吐型（引致嘔吐）中毒是由在食物中的耐熱毒素引起；如製作或貯存食品的過程不當，例如存放在室溫下過久，可引致該菌繁殖並有機會產生毒素。另一類中毒屬致腹瀉型，是由於吃下大量蠟樣芽孢桿菌而令毒素在腸道中產生。中心最近完成一項有關即食食品含蠟樣芽孢桿菌情況的專項食品調查，有關的檢測結果已上載於中心網頁。                                                    
Bacillus cereus is commonly found in the environment. It can form spores which are able to resist heat and survive the cooking temperature. Bacillus cereus can produce different toxins causing two types of food poisoning. Emetic (causing vomiting) intoxication is caused by a heat-stable toxins in food. Improper conditions in food processing and/or storage, such as leaving the food at room temperature for too long, may give rise to growth of Bacillus cereus as well as production of the aforesaid toxin. Another type of poisoning is diarrhoeal, which is caused by ingestion of a large amount of Bacillus cereus that can produce toxins in the intestine. The CFS recently completed a targeted food surveillance project on Bacillus cereus in ready-to-eat food. The findings has been uploaded onto the CFS website.

專項食品調查 - 即食食品含沙門氏菌情況
Targeted Food Surveillance - Salmonella in ready-to-eat food

沙門氏菌可存在於人類及動物的腸道內，亦會隨糞便排出體外，因此沙門氏菌較常見於動物源性食物，包括蛋、肉、禽肉和沒有經過殺菌程序的奶，其他食物例如蔬菜和水果也可能因受污染而含有沙門氏菌。另外，若食物處理不當，亦可能在加工或配製過程中受到沙門氏菌的交叉污染。有見及此，中心就即食食品含沙門氏菌情況進行專項食品調查，有關的檢測結果已上載於中心網頁。
Salmonella is often found in the intestinal tract of humans and animals and will be released through defecation. Hence, Salmonella is more commonly found in food of animal origin, including eggs, meat, poultry and raw milk. Contamination is another means to disseminate Salmonella into other food such as vegetables and fruits. Furthermore, food may be cross-contaminated during processing or preparation if it is not properly handled. In view of this, the CFS has conducted a targeted food surveillance project on Salmonella in ready-to-eat food. The findings has been uploaded onto the CFS website.
