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.
