  • Current food sanitation systems for meat and livestock in Australia ar underpinned by HACCP-based quality assurance. HACCP-based quality assurance programs have been implemented by all australian red meat industry sectors, from 'farm-to-fork'. These quality assurance programs are (along with other quality and food safety considerations) the collection of a series of sanitation steps and strategies that aim to ensure that only healthy, clean livestock are presented for slaughter; those healthy, clean animals enter a clean processing plant; contact of carcase surfaces with potential sources of contamination is avoided; carcase surfaces are decontaminated before chilling; and subsequent growth of potential contaminants is avoided. Prospects for food sanitation systems for meat and livestock in Australia lie largely in enhancing current and applying new sanitation strategies and procedures within our HACCP-based quality assurance framework. Prospects include increased focus on actual (Versus perceived) risks; on-farm/feedlot pathogen elimination; increased implementation of existing (or new) decontamination technologies; and an improved cold chain.

  • Foodborne diseases are serious problems throughout the world, because new pathogens have emerged. Nowadays many students eat school lunch provided by school lunch provided by school lunch program. They are threatened by pathogens transmitted by foods. many school children became victims of foodborne diseases. Most foodborne outbreaks were caused by mishandling foods at food service establishments. Food safety practices of school lunch programs in foreign countries were reviewed. Temperature control is the most critical part of keeping the foods safe. In order to prevent foodbrorne diseases in schools, the managers in charge of school lunch program and officials in charge of food safety of local health department try to make sure that foods are out of danger zone of temperature. Prevention of cross contamination, and sanitization of raw foods and utensils are also emphasized by school lunch program managers and health officials.

  • Microplastics with a size of less than 5 mm have emerged as an important environmental and food safety issue, as they have been detected not only in marine but also in terrestrial ecosystem and drinking water. Although many studies have been conducted on the exposure of microplastics and the effects on human health, the lack of standardized experimental methods for microplastics has been reviewed as a major problem. In order to overcome this, European countries such as the Netherlands and Germany are conducting a project to develop detection methods for microplastics as well as to establish the risk assessment methodologies for microplastics. Being the microplastics suggested to have a substantially potential risk on human health, reliable risk assessments should be conducted considering the various sources of microplastics, chemical pollutants and biological factors. In addition, international standards and regulations should be applied.

  • Current food system has developed with the agricultural innovation to feed the increasing population of the world, but with high costs such as environmental contamination and inequality with low sustainability. Human has developed long history of mutualistic interaction with honey bee. This manuscript describes the multi-functionality of honey bee for food production. Firstly honey bee produces honey, bee pollen, royal jelly and propolis which are rich in functionality. Second honey bee serves as the main pollinator for crop production which is worth for 28% of total crop production values in Korea. Lastly honey bee can be an alternative meat produciton system with lower energy, carbon costs but higher nutritional security. This manuscript described those parts and discussed the multi-functionality of honey bees for eco-friendly food security pursuing lowered environmental cost and carbon-zero strategies in the climate change era.

  • Polychlorinated hydrocarbons are continuously released into the environment from various industrial processes. Trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene, PCE) are of primary concern because of their large-scale production, wide industrial application, poor biodegradability, and tendency to circulate in the air and water. The common routes of human exposure to these compounds include inhalation, ingestion, and dermal adsorption. Additionally, they have been detected in various plant foods. Prolonged exposure to these contaminants is associated with certain risks. They are carcinogenic and have other toxic effects, including gastrointestinal, developmental, neurological, and hematological toxicity. To analyze these contaminants, they are generally extracted from various matrices, followed by instrumental analysis. Gas chromatography, often in combination with different detectors, is the most widely used analytical method. This review covers the toxicity, analytical methods, occurrence in foods, and risk assessment of these contaminants.

  • 본 연구는 어린이집 급식설비 손잡이의 식중독 세균 오염도를 측정하고, 분리 균주의 독소 유전자와 항생제 내성을 분석하여 급식설비 손잡이에 의한 집단식중독을 예방을 위한 과학적 기반을 마련하고자 하였다. 실험 대상은 전라남도 일부 지역 어린이집 101곳의 냉장고, 냉동고, 자외선 살균기 손잡이, 총 303개를 대상으로 하였다. 어린이집 냉장고, 냉동고 손잡이에서 B. cereus 4 균주(1.3%)가 검출되었고 어린이집 냉장고 손잡이에서 S. aureus 2균주(0.7%)가 검출되었다. B. cereus와 S. aureus의 독소유전자를 분석한 결과 B. cereus 4개 균주 모두에서 nheA, nheB, nheC, entFM, cytK가 검출되었으나, S. aureus의 2개 균주의 경우 모두 sea, seb, sec, sed, see, seg, seh, sei, sej 독소유전자가 불검출되었다. B. cereus에서 설사를 유발하는 장독소가 검출되어 B. cereus에 의한 식중독 발생가능성이 상존하는 것으로 판단되었다. B. cereus와 S. aureus의 항생제 감수성을 실험한 결과 B. cereus 4 균주에서 AM, FEP 등 β-lactam계 항생제에 내성을 나타내었고 S. aureus 균주 모두 AM, P 항생제에 내성을 나타내었다. S. aureus 균주는 OX 항생제에 각각 중간 내성 1 균주와 감수성 1 균주를 나타내었으나 MRSA는 검출되지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 어린이집 급식설비 손잡이의 교차오염으로 인한 식중독 발생을 예방하기 위해 급식설비 손잡이에 대한 주기적인 살균 등 위생관리 방안을 강화해야할 것으로 판단되었다.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze microbial hazards for cultivation environments and personal hygiene of strawberry and tomato farms at the growth and harvesting stage. Samples were collected from thirty strawberry farms and forty tomato farms located in Korea and tested for Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. To investigate the change in the distribution of the S. aureus and B. cereus, a total of 4,284 samples including air born, soil or medium, mulching film, harvest basket, groves and irrigation water etc. were collected from eight strawberry farms and nine tomato farms for one year. As a result, total S. aureus and B. cereus in all samples were detected. Among the total bacteria of strawberry farms, S. aureus (glove: $0{\sim}2.1Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, harvest basket: $0{\sim}3.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, soil or culture media: 0~4.1 Log CFU/g, mulching film: $0{\sim}3.8Log\;CFU/100cm^2$), B. cereus (glove: $0{\sim}2.8Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, harvest basket: $0{\sim}4.8Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, soil or culture media: 0~5.3 Log CFU/g, mulching film: $0{\sim}4.5Log\;CFU/100cm^2$) were detected in all samples. The total bacteria of tomato farms, S. aureus (glove: $0{\sim}4.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, harvest basket: $0{\sim}5.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, soil or culture media: 0~6.1 Log CFU/g, mulching film: $0{\sim}4.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$), B. cereus (glove: $0{\sim}4.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, harvest basket: $0{\sim}4.3Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, soil or culture media: 0~5.9 Log CFU/g, mulching film: $0{\sim}4.7Log\;CFU/100cm^2$) were detected in all samples. The contamination of S. aureus and B. cereus were detected in soil, mulching film and harvest basket from planting until harvest to processing, with the highest count recorded from the soil. But S. aureus and B. cereus were not detected in irrigation water samples. The incidence of S. aureus and B. cereus in hydroponics culture farm were less than those in soil culture. The amount of S. aureus and B. cereus detected in strawberry and tomato farms were less than the minimum amount required to produce a toxin that induces food poisoning. In this way, the degree of contamination of food poisoning bacteria was lower in the production environment of the Korea strawberry and tomato, but problems can be caused by post-harvest management method. These results will be used as fundamental data to create a manual for sanitary agricultural environment management, and post-harvest management should be performed to reduce the contamination of hazardous microorganisms.
