“…Data concerning clinical cases in humans were compiled. Rates of hospitalisation (number of hospitalised people among sick people) and lethality (number of deceased people among sick people) of human clinical cases due to biological hazards were calculated from data reported in the United States [2,15] and in France 2 . The hospitalisation and lethality rates calculated were compared by a χ 2 test and did not differ significantly (α = 5%).…”

Foodborne zoonoses due to meat: a quantitative approach for a comparative risk assessment applied to pig slaughtering in Europe

2007

-Foodborne zoonoses have a major health impact in industrialised countries. New European food safety regulations were issued to apply risk analysis to the food chain. The severity of foodborne zoonoses and the exposure of humans to biological hazards transmitted by food must be assessed. For meat, inspection at the slaughterhouse is historically the main means of control to protect consumers. However, the levels of detection of biological hazards during meat inspection have not been established in quantitative terms yet. Pork is the most frequently consumed meat in Europe. The aim of this study was to provide elements for quantifying levels of risk for pork consumers and lack of detection by meat inspection. Information concerning hazard identification and characterisation was obtained by the compilation and statistical analysis of data from 440 literature references. The incidence and severity of human cases due to pork consumption in Europe were assessed in order to calculate risk scores. A ratio of non-control was calculated for each biological hazard identified as currently established in Europe, i.e. the incidence of human cases divided by the prevalence of hazards on pork. Salmonella enterica, Yersinia enterocolitica and Campylobacter spp. were characterised by high incidence rates. Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium botulinum and Mycobacterium spp. showed the highest severity scores. The three main high risk hazards involved in foodborne infections, Y. enterocolitica, S. enterica and Campylobacter spp. are characterised by high non-control ratios and cannot be detected by macroscopic examination of carcasses. New means of hazard control are needed to complement the classical macroscopic examination.foodborne zoonoses / hazard / risk assessment / pork / slaughterhouse

“…The number of hospitalised patients also provides indicative data. Hospitalisation and lethality rates are used in epidemiological studies 2 to assess the severity of disease in humans resulting from hazards transmitted by food. However, they do not take into account the socio-economic consequences of the disease.…”

Street food vending has become an important public health issue and a great concern to everybody. This is due to widespread food borne diseases, due to the mushrooming of wayside food vendors who lack an adequate understanding of the basic food safety issues. Major sources contributing to microbial contamination are the place of preparation, utensils for cooking and serving, raw materials, time and temperature abuse of cooked foods and the personal hygiene of vendors. Various studies have identified the sources of food safety issues involved in street foods to be microorganism belonging to the genus Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Clostridium, Vibrio, Campylobacter, Listeria, Salmonella. Application of sound risk analysis policies is being advocated to provide a scientific base to the host of risk management option which India may need to explore to ensure public health and safety.

“…In particular, travellers eat often in restaurants, and cafeterias, and buy food from street vendors. In 52 % of the 2397 outbreaks of foodborne disease reported to the United States Centers for Disease Control between 1983 and 1987, the food incriminated was prepared by a restaurant, delicatessen shop or cafeteria [33].…”

Risk factors of acute diarrhoea in summer – a nation-wide French case-control study

et al. 2000

SUMMARYThe aim of this study was to identify risk factors for acute diarrhoea (AD) during the summer in France. A matched case-control study was conducted at a national level among patients of 500 general practitioners (GPs). From July to September 1996, 468 case-control pairs were included. Cases were more likely than controls (i) to live away from their main residence (OR 3n0; 95% CI 1n6-5n7), (ii) to have returned from a country at high risk of AD (OR 4n6; CI 0n9-23n1), and (iii) to have been in contact with a case of AD (OR 2n0 ; CI 1n3-3n1). A significantly decreased risk of AD was found for consumption of well-cooked chicken (OR 0n5; CI 0n3-0n8) and raw or undercooked home-made egg-containing products (OR 0n6 ; CI 0n4-0n8). These findings suggest that travel to high-risk areas, or travel within France, and being in contact with a case of AD, are risk factors for the occurrence of AD in summer in France.
