This study focused on post-market survey of new unidentified risk diets. A total of 60 samples of raw ready-to-eat diets and 40 samples of vending machine products were tested for monitoring microbiology hygienic quality in 2018. In addition to hygiene indicators - aerobic plate count, coliform, and Escherichia coli - pathogenic microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, pathogenic E. coli, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella spp., were also examined in each sample. Moreover, marine products were additionally tested for Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio vulnificus. The results showed that there were 9 samples (9%) that failed to meet the sanitation standards, including 5 tea drinks from vending machine, 2 Naem (pork sausage in Thai cuisine), 1 ready-to-eat fresh beef, and 1 shaved ice with egg yolk and condensed milk. Among the 9 pathogen positive samples, 5 samples (including 2 ready-to-eat hot and sour raw shrimps, 2 steam rice with raw egg mixtures, and 1 raw cheese) were detected with Bacillus cereus; 2 samples of ready-to-eat hot and sour raw shrimps were detected with Vibrio parahaemolyticus; 1 sample of ready-to-eat fresh beef was detected with Staphylococcus aureus; and 1 Naem sample was found with both Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus. All these above results had been forwarded to the local health authorities. Consequently, this evaluation not only revealed the condition of microbial quality in new unidentified risk diets but also provided specific consultations for the government and supervised manufacturers to improve and enhance product quality. |
