專項食品調查–即食食品含蠟樣芽孢桿菌和產氣莢膜梭狀芽孢桿菌
Targeted surveillance on Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens in ready-to-eat food

中心最近完成一項有關即食食品含蠟樣芽孢桿菌和產氣莢膜梭狀芽孢桿菌情況的專項食品調查。結果顯示,除較早前公布的一個不合格腐乳樣本外,其餘全部通過檢測。
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,引致食物中毒。至於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煮熟後長時間冷卻或放在不當溫度下貯存的食物有關。由該種致病菌引致的食物中毒,常見症狀包括嘔吐、腹瀉及腹痛,或有發燒。年幼、長者和免疫力較低的人,會較易出現嚴重及持續症狀。
中心呼籲業界在各個食物製造環節遵從優良衞生規範,以確保食物得到安全和適當處理,並符合《食品微生物含量指引》中的含量限值。而市民應經常保持良好的個人衞生和注意食物衞生。
CFS has recently completed a targeted food surveillance project on Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens in ready-to-eat food. Other than an unsatisfactory preserved bean curd sample announced earlier, test results of the remaining samples were all satisfactory.
Bacillus cereus is commonly found in the environment. It can form spores which are able to resist heat and survive cooking temperature. Bacillus cereus can produce different toxins causing food poisoning. Meanwhile, 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. In food poisoning caused by the pathogen, common symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain, and maybe fever. Prolonged and severe symptoms are more likely to appear in the young, the elderly and those with a weaker immune system.
The CFS calls upon the trade to observe the Good Hygienic Practices in each stage of production to ensure safe and proper processing of the food and to comply with the limits stipulated in the Microbiological Guidelines for Food. The public is also advised to maintain good personal and food hygiene.
