description | ObjectiveThe contamination of foodborne pathogens in ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables in Shanghai was analyzed to provide a scientific basis for food safety, risk assessment and related supervision.MethodsFrom June to September 2021, a total of 143 batches of 12 kinds of ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables such as lettuce, chicory, and cherry tomatoes were collected from farmers’ markets, supermarkets, and e-commerce platforms. The total number of bacterial colonies, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Cronobacter spp. and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in the samples were tested according to National Food Contamination and Harmfulness Risk Monitoring Manual.ResultsAmong the 143 batches, foodborne pathogens were detected in 68 batches, with a total detection rate of 47.55% (68/143). A total of 79 strains of foodborne pathogens were detected. The detection rate of Staphylococcus aureus was the highest (32.87%, 47/143), followed by Cronobacter spp. (20.98%, 30/143), Salmonella (0.70%, 1/143), Listeria monocytogenes (0.70%, 1/143), Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (0.00%). Furthermore, the detection rate was higher in different ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables: chicory (17.33%), cucumber (17.14%), cherry tomatoes (16.00%), and honeydew melon (15.38%), respectively. Meanwhile, the contamination rate of pathogens in ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables from farmers’ markets, supermarkets, and e-commerce platforms was relatively high.ConclusionReady-to-eat fruits and vegetables in Shanghai are contaminated by foodborne pathogens. The prevention and control of the contamination of post-harvest fruits and vegetables should be strengthened to reduce the risk of foodborne disease outbreaks. |
