      Abstract:In China, food for special medical purpose (FSMP) is defined as “formula food specially processed and prepared in order to meet the special nutrient or diet needs for people with food restriction, digestion and absorption disorder, metabolic disorder or specific disease state”. The development of FSMP in China started relatively late. Since the revised “Food Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China” in 2015 officially brought FSMP into the track of legal management, the supervision of FSMP has gradually improved, and the number of products approved for registration has gradually increased. This article briefly introduces the relevant regulations, standards and regulatory requirements of FSMP in China, as well as the basic situation of the products approved for registration, and puts forward some suggestions for the reference of relevant personnel and interested readers.

      Abstract:Objective To study the cardioprotective effect of sesame ethanol extract (SEE) on exercise-induced fatigue (EIF) rats and its effects on myocardial physiological and biochemical parameters.Methods Rats were randomly divided into control group (Control), EIF group, EIF+0.5SEE group, EIF+1SEE group and EIF+2SEE group, with 12 rats in each group. The rats in control group and EIF group were daily intragastrically administered 2 mL of purified water for 14 consecutive days. Rats in EIF+0.5SEE group, EIF+1SEE group and EIF+2SEE group were given 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 g/kg·BW of SEE daily for 14 consecutive days. Then the EIF rat model was established by treadmill exercise. After exercise, the echocardiographic parameters (LVPWd, LVPWs, LVIDs, EF and FS), serum myocardial injury indexes (LDH, CK and cTnI) and myocardial tissue antioxidant indexes (MDA, SOD, CAT and GSH-Px) of the rats in each group were detected. Myocardial morphology was detected by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The protein expressions of connexin 43 (Cx43), ATP 5D, phosphorylated AMP-dependent protein kinase (p-AMPK) and AMPK in myocardial tissue were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with EIF group, the LVPWd, LVPWs and LVIDs of EIF+0.5SEE group, EIF+1SEE group and EIF+2SEE group decreased, while EF and FS increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with EIF group, the myocardial injury in EIF+0.5SEE group, EIF+1SEE group and EIF+2SEE group was significantly alleviated, and the levels of serum LDH, CK and cTnI decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with EIF group, the myocardial tissue MDA content in EIF+0.5SEE group, EIF+1SEE group and EIF+2SEE group decreased significantly, while the activities of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with EIF group, the expression levels of Cx43, ATP 5D and p-AMPK/AMPK protein in myocardial tissue of EIF+0.5SEE group, EIF+1SEE group and EIF+2SEE group all increased significantly (P<0.05).Conclusion SEE can effectively prevent myocardial injury and improve cardiac function in EIF rats. SEE may exert cardioprotective effects by improving antioxidant system, gap junctions, energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis in myocardial tissue.

      Abstract:Objective To investigate distribution of integron and extended-spectrum β-lactamase produced by Salmonella isolated from food and clinical samples, and explore the relationship between different drug resistance genes and multidrug resistance.Methods Phenotype of ESBL-producing strains were confirmed by K-B method. The ESBL related drug resistance genes (blaTEM, blaSHV, blaCTX) and the mobile element integron in Salmonella were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. The amplified products of integron variable region were sequenced and the drug resistance gene cassettes were analyzed.Results Three hundred and nine Salmonella strains were isolated. A total of 138 Salmonella strains were isolated from food, including poultry (n=96), raw pork (n=19) and aquatic products (n=23). One hundred and seventy one Salmonella strains were isolated from clinical samples. The drug resistance rate of 309 Salmonella strains was 78.3%, and the multidrug resistance rate was 41.1%. The antimicrobial resistance rate of poultry was the highest. A total of 56 ESBL-producing strains were detected, of which 35 strains carried the ESBL genes (15 strains carried blaTEM; 10 strains carried blaCTX 10 strains carried blaTEM and blaCTX ). The blaSHV gene was not detected. A total of 98 strains which carried class I integron gene were detected, and the positive rate was 31.7%. Among the 98 strains, 54 strains carried drug resistance gene cassette. Forty seven strains carried dfrA and aadA, 1 strain carried linG-aadA22, the rest were empty gene cassette. The multi-drug resistance rates of integron positive and ESBL-producing strains were as high as 98.0% and 89.3%, respectively. The positive rate of integron in ESBL-producing strains was 76.8% (43/56).Conclusion The class I integron and ESBL-producing Salmonella were widely distributed in this area. The genotypes of ESBL-producing strains were mainly blaTEM and blaCTX. Both integron and ESBL-producing strains were associated with multidrug resistance. The dug resistance situation of Salmonella in this area was serious, and it was particularly necessary to pay attention to the standardized use of antibiotics in poultry breeding.

      Abstract:Objective To investigate the current situation and risk factors of high-frequency consumption of pickled and smoked products in Southwest China and put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted from February to May in 2021 in Southwest China (Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing) by convenient sampling to obtain data. The geographical, demographic and sociological factors, health knowledge and behavior factors were collected. The risk factors of high-frequency pickled and smoked products consumption were analyzed by disordered multi classification logistic regression.Results Geographical factor analysis showed that the risk of high-frequency consumption of pickled and smoked products in Yunnan, Guizhou and rural areas was high. The risk of high-frequency consumption of pickled and smoked products in Yunnan province were 2.764 times and 2.126 times higher than that in Chongqing respectively. Among the demographic sociological factors, high-frequency consumption of pickled and smoked products was positively correlated with age and education to a certain extent, and intellectual labor was a protective factor. The most noteworthy factor was the age: the risk of the elderly over 60 years old was the highest, and only 46.70% of the youth aged from 18 had the behavior. In terms of health knowledge and behavior, there was a statistical difference between the knowledge of salt and the consumption of smoked products. The risk of the group with zero correct rate was 1.372 times higher than that of the group with all correct answers. The frequency of drinking alcohol and the risk of pickled and smoked products were basically positively correlated. In the two groups of dependent variables, people who drunk more than three times a week had the highest risk, and the risk of those who never drunk was only 32.10% compared to the drinkers.Conclusion Pickled and smoked products are the characteristic food in Southwest China. Geographical factors, demographic and sociological factors, health knowledge and behavior factors are related to high-frequency consumption of pickled and smoked products. It is necessary to control the health risks brought by high-frequency eating behaviors, promote targeted health education in Yunnan, Guizhou and rural areas, and elderly and less educated groups, encourage healthy eating behaviors, and promote the “Healthy Southwest Action” of “Healthy China”.

      Abstract:Objective To provide basis for further ensuring the safety of student meals, the microbial contamination status in kindergarten, primary and secondary school canteens in Wenzhou in the past five years were investigated.Methods Food samples collected in Wenzhou from 2016 to 2020 were detected for hygienic target bacteria (Aerobic Plate count and Escherichia coli) and foodborne pathogens (Staphylococcus aureusBacillus cereusSalmonella and Listeria monocytogenes), and data were analyzed with SPSS 18.0.Results The microbial contamination of student meal in 2016 was serious, with a unqualified rate as high as 23.58%. While the unqualified rates of student meal decreased by 6.27%, 6.80%, 9.06%, and 3.82% from 2017 to 2020 (χ2 = 60.852, P<0.001). Escherichia coli contamination was one of the most serious, and its unqualified rates in the past five years showed a downward trend (9.43%, 5.64%, 6.47%, 6.41%, and 1.91%, χ2 = 5.225, P = 0.022). Except for the higher detection rates of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella in 2016 (7.35% and 9.91%), the unqualified rates of foodborne pathogens in other years were at a low level. For different types of schools, the unqualified rates of meal samples for kindergarten, primary and secondary school students in Wenzhou from 2016 to 2020 were 10.34%, 12.81%, and 6.90%, respectively, which had significant differences (χ2 = 8.341, P = 0.015). For different sampling quarters and monitoring points, no significant difference was observed in the overall status of microbial contamination of student meal. Compared with 2016, the risk of microbial contamination of student meal significantly reduced from 2017 to 2020 after adjusting the influencing factors such as the school type, sampling season and location (P<0.01).Conclusion Microbial contamination of the student meal in kindergartens, primary and middle schools in Wenzhou was the most serious in 2016, while the hygiene conditions of student meal improved from 2017 to 2020. Foodborne microbial contamination in Wenzhou could potentially threaten student health, which should be monitored to prevent the occurrence of foodborne illness in schools.

      Abstract:Objective To understand the pollution status of foodborne pathogens in Huzhou, so as to provide basis for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases.Methods According to GB 4789.4—2016, 1 463 samples in 5 food categories were collected from Huzhou City during 2015—2021 for Salmonella monitoring. Serotype, antibiotic sensitivity test and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were carried out to isolate Salmonella. The results were analyzed by Excel and SPSS 19.0 software.Results Forty seven Salmonella strains were detected from 1 463 samples and the total detection rate was 3.21%. Among all kinds of food, the detection rate of Salmonella in livestock meat was the highest (6.61%,23/348). A total of 19 serotypes of Salmonella were detected, of which the dominant serotype was Salmonella Typhimurium. Salmonella serotypes detected in various kinds foods were different. Twenty strains of Salmonella isolated from 2019 to 2021 were tested for drug sensitivity and PFGE. The results showed that the isolates had strong resistance to AMP and TET, with resistance rates of 70% (14/20) and 60% (12/20) respectively. Molecular typing showed that after Xba I enzyme digestion, 19 strains of Salmonella produced 11 PFGE bands with high polymorphism.Conclusion From 2015 to 2021, Salmonella was detected in five types of food sold in Huzhou City, including two types of ready to eat food (Chinese cold dishes and bulk cooked meat products). The dominant serotype was Salmonella Typhimurium. The positive detection was mainly from farm market, which had potential risk of foodborne diseases. The corresponding monitoring and supervision should be paid attention to.

      Abstract (313) HTML (172) PDF 641.63 K (2034) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Objective To evaluate potential health risk and the dietary exposure of aluminium in residents of Hangzhou.Methods The dietary exposure of aluminium in residents of Hangzhou was calculated by simple distribution assessment method based on the data of aluminium-containing additives from 2015 to 2021 in Hangzhou and the data of food consumption survey in 2015.Results The average weekly and the 95 percentile (P95) exposure were 0.416 and 1.986 mg/kg?BW, which were lower than the tolerable weekly intake (PTWI, 2 mg/kg?BW) by Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). Steamed stuffed buns, noodles, Chinese pastry, fried bread stick and steamed buns were the main sources of exposure, accounting for 85.9% of the total exposure. If the national food safety standard on ammonium-containing additives was strictly implemented, the exposure will reduce by 88.2% and 84.0%, respectively.Conclusion The risk of dietary aluminium in residents of Hangzhou was low and acceptable. However, the exposure of high-consumption groups (P95) was close to PTWI, and the P95 exposure of people under 18 had exceeded PTWI which deserves attention. Measures should be taken to reduce the health risks caused by excessive aluminium exposure.

      Abstract:Objective To evaluate the health risk of pesticide exposure from leek, the pesticide residue in leek from Henan market was investigated.Methods The residues of 16 pesticides in leek sold on Henan market in 2020 were detected and analyzed. According to health guidance values such as food consumption data of the World Health Organization, acute reference dose formulated by Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues and adaptable daily intake in “National food safety standard-Maximum residue limits for pesticides in food”, the acute and chronic exposure risks of pesticide residues in leek were evaluated by point assessment method, and the cumulative exposure was evaluated by hazard index method.Results There were many types of pesticide residues in leek samples and 93.81% (424/452) of the samples were positive. 7 of the 14 pesticides exceeded their MRLs, and the violation rate of all samples was 16.15%. The detection of multiple pesticides was relatively serious, and 56.42% of the samples contained more than two pesticide residues. In the acute exposure assessment, the acute risks of carbofuran, procymidone and phorate exceeded the acceptable level. In the chronic exposure assessment, the chronic risk of omethoate exceeded the acceptable level. And insecticide pesticides had cumulative poisoning risk.Conclusion The situation of pesticide residues in leek in Henan province was relatively prominent. To ensure the safety of agricultural products, it was recommended that the routine monitoring and use of pesticide, especially high-risk pesticides such as omethoate, carbofuran, procymidone and phorate should be strengthened.

      Abstract:Objective To investigate the implementation of the standards (formula foods and complementary foods for infants and young children), the contents of glucose, galactose, fructose, lactose, sucrose and maltose in formula foods and complementary foods for infants aged 0-36 months, and provide data support for the management of food safety standards related to infant formula and infant complementary food in China.Methods Based on the principle of random sampling, 83 formula food and complementary food for infants and young children, including infant formula foods, older infant formula foods, young children formula foods, cereal complementary foods and canned foods for infants and young children, were collected from the domestic market, the content of glucose, galactose, fructose, lactose, sucrose and maltose were determined by ion chromatography-pulse ampere method and the results were analyzed.Results The median of total sugar content in formula foods for infants and young children was 433.43-476.99 g/kg; the proportion of lactose in all kinds of products was higher than 95%, and the content from high to low was infant formula, older infant formula and formula for young children. The detection rate of sugar in infant cereal supplementary food was 36.8%, the median content was 0-28.35 g/kg; the medians of lactose and sucrose were 84.30 and 70.17 g/kg; while the third quartile(Q3) of sucrose was 53.43 g/kg. There was no significant difference in the content of added sugar between domestic and imported formula foods(P>0.05).Conclusion The lactose content in formula foods for infants and young children sold in China is higher than that of other sugars. The content of total sugar in cereal supplementary food is low, but the content of sucrose in biscuit should be concerned. It is suggested that enterprises should strictly control added sugar, and government departments should continue to push the implementation of the sugar content regulation in the newly released national standards.

      Abstract:Objective To provide a theoretical reference for early prevention of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese and overweight children, the situation and correlation of NAFLD and visceral adiposity index (VAI) of overweight and obese children in Hebi city were analyzed.Methods A total of 243 obese and overweight children were screened from 1013 first-grade children who accepted physical examination at Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Hebi City from May 2020 to May 2021. They were divided into non-NAFLD group and NAFLD group. The basic clinical data, VAI, related blood lipid indexes, and insulin resistance index (HOMD-IR) between the two groups were compared. The correlation between single factors with significant differences and NAFLD were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Results Forty-six children with NAFLD were screened from 243 obese and overweight children, accounting for 18.93%. The number of girls, VAI, waist circumference, BMI, HOMA-IR and TG in the NAFLD group were higher than the non-NAFLD group significantly (P<0.05). The number of boys and HDL-C in the NAFLD group were lower than the non-NAFLD group significantly (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in TC, age and LDL-C between the two groups (P>0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between HDL-C and NAFLD in obese and overweight children (P<0.05). TG, HOMA-IR and VAI were significantly positive correlated with NAFLD (P<0.05). After excluding the confounding factors, binary logistic regression analysis showed that gender, VAI and HOMA-IR in obese and overweight children were significantly related to NAFLD. Among them, larger numbers of boys and increased levels of VAI and HOMA-IR could increase the probability of NAFLD significantly (P<0.05).Conclusion The occurrence of NAFLD in overweight and obese children in Hebi city is closely and positively related to VAI level. Higher VAI level can significantly increase the risk of NAFLD. Clinical prevention and intervention could be conducted according to their VAI level.

      Abstract:Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of foodborne disease outbreaks caused by takeaway in China’s Mainland from 2010 to 2020, and put forward relevant regulatory suggestions.Methods Through the National Foodborne Disease Outbreak Monitoring System, the data of foodborne disease outbreaks caused by takeaway in China’s Mainland from 2010 to 2020 were collected and analyzed, and descriptive epidemiological characteristics were performed.Results A total of 549 foodborne disease outbreaks caused by takeaway were reported in China’s Mainland (except Tibet Autonomous Region) from 2010 to 2020, resulting in 9 285 illnesses and 2 deaths. The largest number of outbreaks and illnesses was in the third quarter, accounting for 41.53% and 44.58% of the total respectively. Except the unknown pathogenic factors, the number of outbreaks and illnesses caused by microbial pathogenic factors were the highest, accounting for 39.16% and 60.26% of the total respectively. Except the unknown suspected food, the number of outbreaks and illnesses caused by mixed food and multiple food were higher, accounting for 21.86% and 15.12% of the outbreaks respectively, and accounting for 20.58% and 13.10% of the number of illnesses respectively. Except the unknown food source, the top 3 food source were school canteens, collective dining delivery units/central kitchens and fast food restaurants, the number of outbreaks accounted for 20.04%, 15.66% and 15.48% respectively, and the number of illnesses accounted for 35.30%, 17.52% and 10.57% respectively. Except the multiple factors and unknown factors, the number of outbreaks caused by improper storage were the highest accounting for 8.74%, and the number of illnesses caused by improper processing accounted for 7.74%.Conclusion Microbial growth and reproduction due to improper storage and processing is the major cause of foodborne disease outbreaks caused by takeaway. It is suggested that the food safety supervision and administration departments should strengthen the whole process supervision and management of takeaway, establish and ensure catering services strictly abide by the good hygiene operations according to food raw in materials, production, transportation, distribution and other aspects, so as to effectively prevent and control the occurrence foodborne diseases.

      Abstract:Objective To investigate the contamination of Salmonella in retail chickens in Ji’nan city from 2020 to 2021, and to explore the prevalence of the mobile colistin resistance gene (mcr) among these Salmonella isolates.Methods From December 2020 to November 2021, 260 retail chicken samples were collected in Ji’nan City, and Salmonella was isolated and confirmed according to GB 4789.4—2016 “National food standard - Food microbiological examination: Salmonella”. Serotype identification and mcr gene screening were performed for all Salmonella isolates by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The drug resistance of mcr gene-positive strains was tested by micro-broth dilution method.Results A total of 61 in 260 retail chicken samples were positive for Salmonella detection with the contamination rate of 23.46% (61/260). The highest contamination rate was 53.33% (32/60) for samples collected in autumn. One hundred and three Salmonella strains were isolated, 56 of which were Salmonella Enteritidis, accounting for 54.37% (56/103). Two Salmonella Indiana, isolated from two separate chicken wing samples collected from different regions, were positive for mcr-1 gene, with a positive rate of 1.94% (2/103). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that both of the two mcr-1-harboring Salmonella Indiana were multi-drug resistant, and one of them was concurrently resistant to all 12 categories of tested drugs, including carbapenems and polymyxins.Conclusion There was a certain degree of Salmonella contamination in retail chickens in Jinan from 2020 to 2021, and the contamination rate of the samples collected in autumn was higher than in any other seasons. Salmonella Enteritidis was the predominant serotype. It should be of concern that a Salmonella isolate carried mcr-1 gene with severe multidrug resistance to both colistin and carbapenems, indicating that the surveillance for Salmonella in the whole chain of chicken production should be strengthened continuously, to provide important basic data for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases.
