食物安全電子信息 E-News (19 May 2022)

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) 加工肉類、紅肉與癌症 世界衞生組織（世衞）屬下的國際癌症研究機構（IARC）早前把加工肉類歸類為「令人類致癌」（第1組），每天食用50克加工肉類，患大腸癌的風險將增加18%；吃得愈多，風險愈大。 有證據顯示，食物中的維他命C、鈣、葉綠素和多酚等成分能抑制N-亞硝基化合物或其他致癌物質的形成。世衞建議，多吃蔬果、少吃加工肉類和紅肉是預防多種癌症的重要一環。 有關詳細資料，請瀏覽以下網頁： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/multimedia/multimedia_pub/multimedia_pub_fsf_113_01.html (2) 製造及售賣冰凍甜點的食物安全建議 � ��據《冰凍甜點規例》（第132AC章），冰凍甜點是指任何通常以冰凍或冷藏狀態出售供人食用的甜點，例如雪糕（包括在零售店鋪供食的硬雪糕和軟雪糕，及預先包裝的盒裝雪糕）、冰凍乳酪和新地等。 冰凍甜點有可能在製造程序、包裝、貯存、運輸及售賣中被環境或其他食材中的微生物污染，所以製造商應採取有效的預防措施來確保產品的食物安全。有效控制各個環節（包括收貨、製造、貯存、運輸、分銷及零售）的溫度對保證冰凍甜點的安全和品質極其重要。 有關詳細資料，請瀏覽以下網頁： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/programme/programme_haccp/programme_haccp_frozenconfections.html (3) 使用梘液洗手還是消毒潔手液清潔雙手 在2019冠狀病毒病大流行下，保持良好的手部衞生十分重要。在廚房裏處理食物時，雙手可能會直接接觸食物而沾染油脂及細菌。以梘液及清水洗手最少20秒，是去除污垢及食源性病原體的有效措施。相比之下，手上如有明顯污垢或油脂，消毒潔手液的效果較差。消毒潔手液亦無法有效消滅某些病原體，例如諾如病毒及甲型肝炎病毒。 詳情請參閱以下網頁： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/multimedia/multimedia_pub/multimedia_pub_fsf_179_03.html (4) 嬰兒配方產品、較大嬰兒及幼兒配方產品及預先包裝嬰幼兒食物的營養標籤規定 較大嬰兒及幼兒配方產品的營養標籤須標示「能量+25種營養素」的含量；預先包裝嬰幼兒食物的營養標籤則須標示「能量+4種營養素+維他命A和D（如有添加）」的含量。 另外，嬰兒配方產品必須符合一套營養成分組合規定（即「能量+33種營養素」），而且必須加上營養標籤，列出「能量+29種營養素」的含量。 家長們在選購這些產品時，應細閱其營養標籤，以作出最合適的選擇。 詳情請參閱以下網頁： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/food_leg/food_leg_Formula_Products_for_Infants.html 食物安全� ��心 19.5.2022   (1) Processed Meat, Red Meat and Cancer The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meat as "carcinogenic to humans" (Group 1). Each 50g portion of processed meat consumed daily can increase the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. The risk increases with the amount of meat consumed, but no "safe" level can be devised. There is evidence that certain components from food, e.g. vitamin C, calcium, chlorophylls, polyphenols, etc., can inhibit the formation of N-nitroso compounds or other cancer causing agents. As a major prevention strategy against many cancers, the WHO recommends eating more vegetables and fruits but less processed meat and red meat.

Some examples are ice-cream (including hard ice-cream and soft ice-cream sale for serving in retail outlets, as well as pre-packaged ice-cream in original cups and wrappers), frozen yoghurt and sundae. Contamination by microorganisms in the environment or other ingredients is possible at any point during processing, packaging, storage, delivery and retailing. Therefore, the manufacturer should apply appropriate preventive measure to ensure their products are not contaminated with microorg anisms. Good temperature control is essential along the whole process (include receiving, processing, storage, transport, distribution and retailing) for maintaining the safety and quality of frozen confections. For more information, please browse the following website: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/programme/programme_haccp/programme_haccp_frozenconfections.html (3) Washing Hands with Liquid Soap or Cleaning Hands with Hand Sanitisers Maintaining good hand hygiene is important during the COVID-19 pandemic. A food handler's hands may be soiled with grease and bacteria when they come in direct contact with foods in the kitchen. Washing hands with liquid soap and water for at least 20 seconds is an effective measure for removing dirt and foodborne pathogens. In contrast, hand sanitisers work less effectively on visibly dirty or greasy hands. They cannot effectively remove certain pathogens such as norovirus and hepatitis A virus.

Furthermore, infant formula must fulfill a set of nutritional composition requirements, mainly “Energy+33 nutrients”, and provide a nutrition label showing the contents of “Energy+29 nutrients”.
