Centre for Food Safety E-news

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 :


 

 

(1) 大閘蟹食物安全

秋天是大閘蟹當造季節。在享用這道含高膽固醇的菜肴時,切記要適可而止。由於大閘蟹可能含有寄生蟲及致病菌,所以要徹底煮熟才可進食。

有關在選購、處理及進食大閘蟹時的安全貼士,請參閱以下網頁:
https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/whatsnew/whatsnew_sfst/whatsnew_sfst_Fresh_Water_Hairy_Crabs_and_Food_Safety.html


(2) 燒烤肉類內PAHs的風險

PAHs在環境中無處不在,因此幾乎所有食物都含有PAHs。不過,未經烹煮的食物內含大量PAHs的情況並不常見。使用烘焗和燒烤等烹煮方法會產生更多的PAHs及增加食物中的PAHs含量;而燒焦食物含有較多PAHs。因此愛吃燒烤肉類的人可能會攝入較多的PAHs。

有關給業界及消費者的建議,請參閱以下網頁:

===========================================================


(1) Fresh Water Hairy Crabs and Food Safety

Autumn is the best season for savouring freshwater hairy crabs. They should not overindulge themselves with this cholesterol-rich cuisine. Hairy crabs may harbour parasites and pathogens. They should be cooked thoroughly before consumption.

For food safety tips when buying, preparing or consuming hairy crabs, please visit the webpage for more information:
https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/whatsnew/whatsnew_sfst/whatsnew_sfst_Fresh_Water_Hairy_Crabs_and_Food_Safety.html


(2) Risk of PAHs in Barbecued Meats

Since PAHs are ubiquitous in the environment, they are present in almost all food, although they are rarely found in high levels in raw foods. Cooking methods such as roasting and grilling, on the other hand, will generate more PAHs and result in higher levels of PAHs. Also, charred foods have a higher PAHs level. That said, people love barbecued foods may take in more PAHs.
