Abstract:
Objective To compare the differences of five different ultraviolet light (UV) devices in killing Bacillus subtilis and degrading nucleic acids .Methods The Bacillus subtilis suspensions with same concentration were placed 5 cm away from the lamp sources and irradiated by the biosafety cabinet UV lamp, 185 ozone producing ultraviolet lamp, BKS-UV2016 household ultraviolet lamp, JT8-Y30W ultraviolet lamp and deep UVC-LED for 1 min, 30 s, 10 s, and 5 s, respectively. Culture CFUs (Clone Forming Unit) were compared After 24 hours. Bacterial genome and PCR products were placed 5 cm from the lamp sources and irradiated for 1 minute by the five UV devices mentioned above. The PCR results were compared to analyse the template concentration difference. If the device degrade nucleic acids, the irradiation time was reduced to further analyze the device.Results In killing Bacillus subtilis experiment, five UV devices could kill the bacteria after irradiation for 1 minute, but deep UVC-LED had the strongest killing effect when the time was reduced. In bacterial genome and PCR product degradation experiments, only deep UVC-LED showed degradation, and the effect weakens with the decrease of irradiation time and concentration gradually.Conclusion Deep UVC-LED has a stronger killing effect on Bacillus subtilis in short time,and the device can degrade nucleic acids to solve some PCR pollution problems.

Abstract:
Objective Macro-genomics technology was applied to explore the changes in microbial community structure and diversity on the surface of chilled pork at different stages and to analyze the composition and changes of risky bacteria, to provide a reference for the control of risky bacteria in chilled meat.Methods Macro-genomics technology was used to perform sequencing on 30 chilled pork samples at three stages: pre-cooling, post-mortem ageing, and marketing, and to analyze changes in microbial diversity and metabolic pathways of the flora.Results There were significant differences in the flora structure of chilled pork at different stages. From pre-cooling to acid excretion to marketing, the relative abundance of Rhizobium caused an increase and then a decrease in the relative abundance of Proteobacteria. The increase in the abundance of Brochothrix caused a gradual increase in the abundance of Firmicutes. The PCoA analysis showed that the acid-drainage pork partially overlapped with the commercially available pork, suggesting that the bacteria were similar. The relative abundance of the dominant spoilage bacteria, Brochothrix thermosphacta, Pseudomonas fragi, and Acinetobacter baumannii, was significantly increased in the samples from acid-expelled to commercially available meat. Metabolic pathway analyses indicated that the abundance of genes encoding bacteria related to metabolism annotated in the acid-expelled meat samples was the highest among the three stages of samples, the abundance of some of the proteins and enzymes that coordinate sugar metabolism and amino acid metabolism showed an increasing trend in the three groups of samples, and there was consistency with the trend of changes in Brochothrix and Pseudomonas.Conclusion The bacterial populations in the samples of aged meat were similar to those in the samples of saled meat, and the control of bacterial populations during post-mortem ageing should be strengthened during production, while appropriate measures should be taken to control the propagation of spoilage bacteria, to guarantee the quality and safety of meat in the process of supply chain.

Abstract:
Objective To trace the pathogenic cause of a foodborne disease outbreak case occurred in a primary school in Nanjing City and analyze the pathogen characteristics and molecular epidemiological relationship, providing reference data for the source tracing and management of foodborne disease outbreaks.Methods A total of 47 foodborne disease outbreak related samples were collected. DNA nucleic acids of all the samples were extracted and performed by Real-time PCR to detect the foodborne pathogens and diarrheal viruses, while the routine bacterial isolation and culture methods were used to isolate and identify pathogenic bacteria. Drug susceptibility testing was conducted with the broth microdilution method. The isolated strains were subjected to whole genome sequencing (WGS) and further pathogenicity prediction and cogMLST analysis.Results Thirty samples were detected Cronobacter spp. nucleic acid positive, and all the other common foodborne pathogenic bacteria and diarrhea virus nucleic acids were negative. Nine Cronobacter spp. isolates (BQ1~BQ9) were obtained, including 6 anal swabs from patients, 2 anal swabs from the staff of the catering enterprise and 1 food retention sample. The drug resistance spectra of the 9 strains were basically the same. Online PathogenFinder predicted that all 9 strains have a high probability of pathogenicity. MLST typing showed 5 different ST types, and the BQ3, BQ4 and BQ9 strains belong to ST8 type. The cogMLST analysis found that BQ3 isolated from a patient anal swab and BQ9 isolated from a food retention sample were clustered tightly, and performed only 2 ST sites differences, indicating these two isolate were highly homologous.Conclusion Cronobacter spp. strains were isolated from this foodborne disease outbreak case and molecular epidemiological analysis showed that the strains from food retention sample and one patient anal swab were highly homologous. Although Cronobacter spp. is generally considered to be an opportunistic pathogen affecting infants and immunocompromised populations, the data from this study suggest that Cronobacter spp. has a high potential as a causative agent of acute gastroenteritis in healthy adults and adolescents, and its risk in foodborne diseases needs to be reevaluated. It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance of Cronobacter spp. in people with foodborne disease and foods other than infant milk powder and complementary foods.

Abstract:
Objective To determine vitamin A (VA), vitamin D (VD) and vitamin E (VE) in formulas for special medical purposes, the online purification-two-dimensional liquid chromatography technique with dual-valve triple-pump center-cutting was established.Methods After the saponification, the samples were introduced into a two-dimensional liquid chromatography system. A PLRP-S column, which was resistant to strong alkaline solutions, was used as an online solid phase extraction column for the clean-up of the sample solution. Subsequently, SPE pumps were reversed to elute the target to the one-dimensional chromatographic system. A perfluorophenyl column was used as the 1D column for the separation of VA and the four VE species. Meanwhile, a C18 column was used as a capture column for VD and a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon column was used as a two-dimensional chromatographic column for the separation of VD2 and VD3.Results VA, VD and VE exhibited good linearity within different concentration ranges. The linear ranges were 0.010 0-1.000, 0.001 00-0.100, 0.200-20.0 μg/mL, and the correlation coefficients were all as high as 0.999 9. The limits of detection (LODs) were 4.8, 0.8 and 48 μg/100 g, and the limits of quantification (LOQs) were 12, 2 and 120 μg/100 g. The average recoveries of VA, VD and VE were good with the ranges of 85.9%-114.0%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 0.6% to 9.2% for the different spiked levels of low, medium and high.Conclusion The method is easy to operate, with high sensitivity and good accuracy, and it is suitable for the routine rapid determination of VA,VD and VE in formulas for special medical purposes.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the contamination status of aflatoxins (AF) in traditionally-produced vegetable oils in Chongqing and assess the health risk for the population exposed to AF through the consumption of such oil.Methods Samples of traditionally-produced vegetable oils were randomly collected from 39 districts in Chongqing City for AF detection. Based on the dietary data from the 2018 China Health and Nutrition Survey, the simple distributed risk assessment method was applied for dietary exposure assessment. The margin of exposure (MOE) value and quantitative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk method were used to characterize the risk.Results The detection rate of AF in traditionally-produced vegetable oils was 7.77%, with an average concentration of 0.10-0.48 μg/kg (LB-UB) and zero non-compliance rate. The detection rate of AF in traditionally-produced peanut oil was the highest (22.73%, 5/22.) The average AF exposure level for the whole population in Chongqing City through the consumption of traditionally- produced vegetable oils ranged from 0.069 to 0.319 ng/kg·BW/d (LB-UB), with a high exposure level (P95) of 0.209~0.967 ng/kg·BW/d (LB-UB). There was no significant difference in the exposure levels between males and females, but the exposure level of children aged from 2 to 6 years was the highest (0.132~0.610 ng/kg·BW/d) among different age groups. The HCC risk was below 1 case of HCC per (100 000 person-year), but the MOE values for different genders and age groups were all below 10 000.Conclusion The health risk of HCC caused by exposure to AF in traditionally-produced vegetable oils in the population of Chongqing is relatively low, but there is still potential food safety risk. Continuous monitoring of AF contamination in key foods and efforts to reduce exposure risks for sensitive populations should be prioritized.

The data will provide support for regulatory policy adjustments and the development of standards by relevant authorities.Methods Rice noodles samples were collected from relevant cities in Zhejiang Province and DHA levels were measured. The dietary intake of DHA was estimated by using the consumption data of rice noodles obtained from the consumption survey. Assessment the daily exposure of DHA in rice noodle consumers.Result Among the 641 samples, DHA was detected in 329 samples (overall detection rate=51.31%). Among whom, the average level was (280.00±242.69) mg/kg, with P50 and P95 being 218.00 mg/kg and 840.50 mg/kg, respectively. The DHA levels differed significantly across samples from different sources, with those from online stores having the highest level. The average daily exposure of DHA in rice noodles consumers in Zhejiang Province was 0.209 mg/kg·BW, and the high-end exposure level (P95) was 0.512 mg/kg·BW. Since the acceptable daily intake (ADI) value of DHA has not been established, the related health risks cannot be comprehensively evaluated, but the DHA exposure caused by eating rice noodles is warranted further research.Conclusion DHA is widely used in rice noodles products, especially from the online marketing sources. After the implementation of “National Food Safety Standards-Standard for the Use of Food Additives”, preventing the excessive use of dehydroacetic acid will be a key focus of food safety regulation.

Abstract:
Strengthening the construction of food inspectors is an important guarantee for implementing supervision responsibilities and ensuring food safety. The situation of food inspection team and system construction in China was investigated and sorted out. Various places actively carry out the construction of food inspectors with initial results. There are also challenges: The state has not yet a clear definition of professional food inspectors, local construction standards are different, and supporting systems need to be further improved; The number of middle and senior food inspectors is relatively insufficient, and the specialization level of food inspection team needs to be improved; The training and assessment standards are not uniform, and the strength of teaching staff is weak; The pertinence of inspection needs to be strengthened, and the ability to troubleshoot hidden problems needs to be improved. The construction of a food inspector system with Chinese characteristics is a systematic project, which must rely on existing resources and be carried forward in three dimensions: mechanism, personnel and system. The authority and boundary of food inspection should be clarified, the legal basis is established, and the food inspection system and mechanism is improved; The training assessment standard is unified, the training mode is innovated, the team construction is strengthened; The establishment of security systems can be strengthened such as establishment, salary, rank, funds, and materials, and the space for professional development of food inspectors is broadened.

Abstract:
Objective To describe the energy and nutrient intakes of lactating women in 4 urban areas of China, and develop the relationship between them and the weight for length of exclusive breast-fed infants.Methods The dietary of lactating women, body and blood biochemical data of 64 exclusive breast-fed women-infant pairs in 4 urban areas in China were collected using questionnaires, body measurements and blood test. The energy and nutrient intakes of lactating women and the weight for height of infants were calculated and analyzed, and the relationship between them was estimated by using the ordinal multiple classification Logistic regression analysis model.Results Insufficient intake of maternal selenium, vitamin B2 and folic acid is common in 4 cities in China. The Weight for height of infants whose lactating women had low dietary intake of Fe (OR=0.005, 95%CI: 0.000-0.165, P=0.003) and deficiency of serum Vitamin D (OR=0.019, 95%CI: 0.003-0.125, P<0.001) was lower(P<0.05).Conclusion Multi-nutrient intakes of lactating women in 4 urban areas in China is lower than that recommended by Chinese DRIs, and the weight for height of infants is associated with dietary iron intake and serum vitamin D levels of lactating women. It is suggested to pay attention to the nutritional status of iron during pregnancy and vitamin D during lactation, ensure that the dietary nutritional intake of pregnant and lactating women remains balanced, and promote the growth and development of infants and maternal health.

Abstract:
Objective? To analyze the re-inspection results of four types of aflatoxins in wheat and its products inspected in Henan Province in 2023,a simple evaluation method was attempted to establish. Methods A total of 51 samples, including 31 wheat and wheat product samples from 15 prefecture-level cities in the province (with one city having an additional sample) and 20 wheat and wheat flour samples from 10 cities under the provincial emergency monitoring project, were tested using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with internal standard method. The relative deviation (RD) of the detection results for aflatoxin (TeA), T-2 toxin (TEN), ochratoxin A (AOH), and ochratoxin A methyl ester (AME) was statistically analyzed to evaluate the detection performance of different testing institutions and projects. Results The provincial disease control laboratory showed better performance in controlling data variability, with 60.4% of RD data points within 0.3, followed by the special project laboratory, and the nine prefecture-level city laboratories showed the lowest performance. Among the four detection projects, TeA and TEN showed high sensitivity and good response, with 64.7% of RD data points within 0.3, while AOH and AME showed relatively poor performance;The higher numerical level of the result quality is better than a lower level.Conclusion The stratification of RD indicates the quality of detection data, reflecting the consistency and accuracy of the detection process and the level of quality control of the detection projects. By analyzing the RD of different detection projects, the detection quality can be effectively identified. Most of the detection results of the samples have high consistency, indicating that the detection institutions have performed well overall. However, some detection projects or areas have higher relative deviations, requiring more attention and improvement. Further investigation of the causes and adoption of corresponding measures to reduce variability is needed to provide a basis for subsequent quality control.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the risk control of plasticizers in Chinese white wine since the risk assessment results of plasticizers in liquor products in 2014 released by The National Health and Family Planning Commission. Methods According to Method for the Determination of Phthalates Esters in Food (GB 5009.271-2016), plasticizers in the collected spirits samples were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, with the detection limit of DBP and DEHP were 1mg/kg and 5mg/kg respectively. Results In 2021, 100 samples of Chinese spirits were collected in Guangzhou. For the total PAEs, the detection rate was 42% (42/100) and the exceeding rate was 7% (7/100). For DBP , the detection and exceeding rate was 42% and 7% . For DEHP, the detection and exceeding rate was 18% and 0%. In addition, the exceeding and detection rate showed significant differences in different sampling sites and different production years, with spirits samples in online stores and produced in 2014 were higher. Health risk assessment suggested that even if residents in Guangdong Province consumed the average consumption of Baijiu after 2014, the actual risk were within the tolerance range of humans due to the low levels of DBP and DEHP in Chinese spirits. Conclusion The pollution of PAEs in offline stores in Guangzhou city still exists but not prominent, and the main risk originated from Baijiu produced before 2014 purchased online. It is suggested that local authorities strengthen the supervision of the online shopping link of the vintage Baijiu produced before 2014, and consumers were recommended to purchase from regular channels and pay attention to product packaging information, and reduce the purchase and drinking of Baijiu produced before 2014.

Methods The literature related to Salmonella in the pork production chain in China published during 2008-2023 was searched in China Knowledge and PubMed databases, and 83 articles were screened, and the data were statistically analyzed by using SPSS and Excel, and divided into three time periods: T1 (2008-2012), T2 (2013-2017) and T3 (2018-2023), and were analyzed in comparison with the European Union and the United States homologous data on serovars and antimicrobial susceptibility. Results The average positivity rate of Salmonella contamination in pork production chains in China during 2008-2023 was 18.0%, with higher positivity rates in both the slaughter (19.6%) and retail (29.1%) segments than in the farmed segment (8.4%), and was much higher than that in the EU (slaughter: 1.4%; retail: 1.7%) and the US (slaughter: 15.9%; retail: 1.4%) (chi-square test, all P values < 0.05). The most common serovars of Salmonella of pork origin in China were S. Derby (28.4%), S. Typhimurium and S. I 4,[5],12:i:- (24.7%) and S. Rissen (12.9%), and the rate of contamination varied over time: a gradual decrease in Derby, and a gradual increase in S. Typhimurium and S. I 4,[5],12:i:- and S. Rissen. 5 Salmonella of swine origin (S. Derby, S. Typhimurium and S. I 4,[5],12:i:-, S. Enteritidis, S. london and S. Rissen) were more susceptible to doxycycline (85%) than to Salmonella ) had high rates of resistance to antimicrobial drugs such as doxycycline (85.1%), tetracycline (78.8%), ampicillin (63.5%) and chloramphenicol (61.5%) and were significantly higher than those in the EU and the USA (chi-square test, P < 0.05). The resistance rates of ampicillin, cotrimoxazole, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin showed an increasing trend with time, increasing by 38.3%, 28.2%, 18.0%, and 15.1%, respectively. Conclusion The contamination rate of Salmonella from pork sources in China was high, there was an elimination of some dominant serovars, and the resistance rate of tetracycline antimicrobials showed an increasing trend in the whole.

Abstract:
The result of food safety risk assessment is the scientific basis for formulating the food safety standards and for exercising food safety supervision and administration. To exert the effects of food safety risk assessment in supervision and administration, some countries established specific agencies for food safety risk assessment, as well as in China with National Food Safety Risk Assessment Expert Committee. Despite that there is still a long way to go for China in food safety risk assessment compared to developed countries, the technologies applied in formulating food safety standards, handling of food safety accidents and risk communications exerted significant effect. However, we still need to promote constructions building in system of food safety risk assessment from the aspects of organizations, capacities and technologies in risk assessment and human resources considering the situation of food safety and needs of food safety supervision.

Abstract:
To understand the distribution characteristics of heavy metal contamination in dairy products, and to evaluate the status and the extent of heavy metal contamination.Methods The contents of Pb, total-Hg, Cd, Cr and total-As in raw milk, fermented milk, sterilized milk, infant formula and milk powder during 2012-2013 were detected. Single factor contamination index method and comprehensive contamination index method of Nemerow were used to evaluate the contamination level according to the grading standard of agriculture product quality. Results The detection rate of Pb, total-As, total-Hg, Cd and Cr were 14.0%(21/150), 24.7%(37/150), 82.0%(109/133), 26.3%(35/133)and 72.9%(43/59) in dairy products, respectively. Pb in raw milk and Cd in sterilized milk were not detected. The mean, P75 and P95 of total-Hg in raw milk were higher than the limit. The P95 of total-Hg in fermented milk and sterilized milk and Cd in milk powder were higher than the limit. The detection rate and single factor contamination index of total-Hg were the highest in raw milk, fermented milk and sterilized milk, which indicated there was severe contamination in the raw milk(PHg>1) and mild contamination in fermented milk (PHg>0.6). The detection rate of Cr was the highest in infant formula and milk powder, while single factor contamination index of Cd was the highest. The heavy metal contamination in raw milk ranked the first with Pn=0.754, reaching mild level of contamination. The heavy metal contamination in dairy products could be lined in a decreasing order of raw milk, fermented milk, sterilized milk, milk powder and infant formula.Conclusion Four kinds of dairy products were at the safe level of heavy metal contamination. Total-Hg was the dominant heavy metal contamination in liquid milk, while Cd in solid milk. Single factor contamination index and comprehensive contamination index of total-Hg in raw milk indicated that measures should be taken to prevent the contamination.
