食物安全電子信息 E-News (1 April 2021)

致食物安全電子信息訂閱者： Dear E-news recipients, 以下資訊已上載到食物安全中心（中心）網站： News on the Centre for Food Safety (CFS) website : 食安電影頻道 The CFS Foodsafe Movie Channel   食物安全中心開展一個名為「食安電影頻道」的全新網上短片宣傳活動，並請來了中心吉祥物「食安仔」與「食安妹妹」，藉著一系列耳熟能詳的電影作品，以貼地的港產片式幽默與大眾探討一些值得留意的食安話題。 To raise the public’s awareness of food safety, the Centre for Food Safety (CFS) has recently launched a brand-new online video campaign called ‘Foodsafe Movie Channel’. The Centre’s mascots, On and Mui, go through important food safety messages with the public with a hint of Hong Kong movie-styled humour.   「食安電影頻道」最新一集《瀝沽瀝沽新年菜》已經於食物安全中心YouTube頻道首播，並在中心的Facebook和Instagram專頁同步上映。 The latest episode of ‘Foodsafe Movie Channel’ has premiered on the CFS’ YouTube channel, and is co-streamed on the CFS' Facebook and Instagram pages.   詳情請參閱以下網頁： Please click into the webpage for details:   https://www.facebook.com/cfs.hk https://www.instagram.com/cfs.hk/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpLk04Hbn2ATOWzCU_jWEQ   食物安全焦點 (2021 年 3 月第 176 期) Food Safety Focus (176th Issue, March 2021)     今期熱門焦點包括: The topics of the current issue are: · 喜愛與否：盆菜的微生物風險不可不防 Love It or Loathe It: Poon Choi and Its Microbiological Risks 食物業處所的良好衞生守則 Good Hygiene Practices in Food Premises 素食的鈉及總脂肪含量 Sodium and Total Fat Contents of Vegetarian Food 「甘飴金黃色」 － 烹製焗炸澱粉類菜式的準則 'Go for Gold’ When Preparing Baked and Fried Starchy Dishes   歡迎到以下網頁閱覽上述月刊： You are most welcome to read the publication at:   中文： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/multimedia/multimedia_pub/multimedia_pub_fsf.html English: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/multimedia/multimedia_pub/multimedia_pub_fsf.html     微波煮食與食物安全 Microwave Cooking and Food Safety   使用微波爐解凍、烹煮和翻熱食物既方便又節省能源，因此微波爐常用於配製膳食。微波與核能毫無關係。微波由電力產生，使用的波長與電視波、電鬚刨及雷達相若。微波能量被食物吸收後會轉化為熱力，不會令食物帶有"放射性"或受"污染"。 Microwave ovens provide a convenient and energy efficient way to thaw, cook and reheat food, and they are commonly used in meal preparation. Microwaves are nothing related to nuclear energy. They are generated by electricity and use a wavelength similar to television waves, electric shavers and radar. Microwave energy changes to heat as it is absorbed by food, it does not make food "radioactive" or "contaminated".   然而，有關食用經微波處理的食物的安全問題備受公眾關注。幾乎所有食物在某程度上都受到微生物的污染。一如其他傳統煮食方法，微波煮食的過程同樣會消滅這些微生物，因此微波爐可安全烹煮食物。不過，由於微波爐內的交流電磁場分布不均，以及食物沒有規則地吸收微波（骨頭會令四周的肉不能徹底煮熟），因此經微波處理的食物會出現"冷點"。如食物加熱不均勻以及有些部分沒有煮熟，細菌和其他病原體可能會繼續生存，引起食源性疾病。為盡量減低微波煮食的微生物風險，多個國家食物安全機構已就使用微波爐的正確食物處理方法及煮食習慣提出建議，舉例說，應蓋好使用微波加熱的食物，以保存水分，因為蒸氣有助消滅有害細菌，並確保安全、均勻地烹煮食物。 Nonetheless, the safety issues on the consumption of microwaved food have attracted public concerns. Nearly all foods are contaminated by microorganisms to certain extent. These microorganisms will be destroyed during microwave cooking just as in other conventional methods, so food can be safely cooked in microwave ovens. However, "cold spot" can occur in microwaved food because of the uneven distribution of electromagnetic field in the oven and the irregular way the microwaves absorbed by the food (e.g. bone can shield the meat around it from thorough cooking). If food does not heat evenly and some parts are left undercooked, bacteria and other pathogens may survive and cause foodborne illness. To minimise the microbiological risk associated with microwave cooking, a number of national food safety authorities have recommended proper food handling techniques and cooking practices for the use of microwave oven. For example, food for microwave heating should be covered to hold moist ure where the steam will help destroy harmful bacteria and ensure safe, even cooking.   詳情請參閱以下網頁： Please click into the webpage for details:   中文： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/multimedia/multimedia_pub/multimedia_pub_fsf_43_02.html English: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/multimedia/multimedia_pub/multimedia_pub_fsf_43_02.html     2021年2月份預先包裝食物之營養素含量及致敏物檢測結果 Results of Compliance Test for Nutrition Labelling and Declaration of Allergens for February 2021   為確保預先包裝食品符合《食物及藥物(成分組合及標籤)規例》，中心自2012年起，一直有抽取預先包裝食物的樣本作檢測，其中包括檢測營養素含量及致敏物。 2021年2月份有關營養素含量及致敏物檢測結果的報告，已上載到中心網頁。 The CFS has been testing, among other things, nutrients and allergens in prepackaged food samples for compliance under the Food and Drugs (Composition and Labelling) Regulations since 2012. The report on Results of Compliance Test for Nutrition Labelling and Declaration of Allergens under the Regulations for February 2021 has been uploaded onto the CFS website.   詳情請參閱以下網頁： Please click into the webpage for details:   中文： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/whatsnew/whatsnew_act/NL_Compliance_Test_Results_FEB_2021.html English: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/whatsnew/whatsnew_act/NL_Compliance_Test_Results_FEB_2021.html     食物安全中心 Centre for Food Safety 1.4.2021   如要檢視網站版本，請按此。 Please click here to view the web page version. 本食物安全電子信息的內容，包括但不限於所有文本、平面圖像、圖畫、圖片、照片以及數據或其他資料的匯編，均受版權保障。香港特別行政區政府是本信息內所有版權作品的擁有人。除非預先得到食物環境衞生署的書面授權，否則嚴禁複製、改編、分發、發布或向公眾提供該等版權作品。 The content available in this E-News, including but not limited to all text, graphics, drawings, diagrams, photographs and compilation of data or other materials are protected by copyright.
