餐飲業用洗潔劑之衛生調查

INVESTIGATION ON THE SANITARY STATUS OF DETERGENTS FOR VEGETABLES,FRUITS AND KITCHEN UTENSIL IN RESTAURANTS

隨著工商業的發達與生活方式的改變，國人在外進食的機會增多，因此供應大眾飲食的餐飲業之衛生管理亦愈重要，餐飲業使用於蔬果與飲食器具之洗潔劑是否符合食品用規定，實待探討。由於食品用洗潔劑使用日趨普遍，若其衛生不良可能導致殘留於食品或食品器具，因而進入人體內，如：砷、重金屬、甲醇、螢光增白劑等均可能對人體造成傷害。

In order to understand the sanitary status of detergents for vegetables, fruits and kitchen utensil in restaurants, 212 samples were collected from whole districts of Taiwan from October 1989 to April 1990, We examed their pH value, arsenic, heavy metals, methanol and fluorescent bleaching agents. The results showed that 2 samples contained methanol beyond 0.1%, one sample contained fluorescent bleaching agent and the PH value of 10 samples were beyond the range 6.0-8.0, so that 5.7% samples were not corresponded to the regulations.
