美國、英國和愛爾蘭食品召回趨勢分析

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)sciencedirect數(shù)據(jù)庫消息，12月份《食品科技動態(tài)》（Trends in Food Science & Technology）雜志刊登一項研究食品召回趨勢的論文，對美國、英國和愛爾蘭的召回數(shù)據(jù)進行了分析,發(fā)現(xiàn)操作失誤是召回的主因。

    文章指出，食品行業(yè)日漸增多的產(chǎn)品召回事件導(dǎo)致人們對食品安全產(chǎn)生質(zhì)疑，然而以往的研究只關(guān)注導(dǎo)致召回的生物性危害，而未考慮召回風(fēng)險因素隨時間的變化情況。

    在本次研究中，科研人員通過研究2004年-2010年期間，美國、英國和愛爾蘭召回的2070批次注冊食品的數(shù)據(jù)，對食品行業(yè)內(nèi)導(dǎo)致召回的生物性、操作性和化學(xué)性危害進行了系統(tǒng)分析。

    結(jié)果表明，三個國家的產(chǎn)品召回事件隨時間推移而增多，操作失誤是食品行業(yè)內(nèi)導(dǎo)致召回最主要的原因，而非生物性和化學(xué)性危害。

    The increasing frequency of product recalls within the agri-food industry has led many to question food safety. Research studies also often focus on biological hazards without considering how past, present and emerging risks change over time.

    We undertake a systematic review of the different biological, operational and chemical hazards within the agri-food industry using a dataset of 2070 registered food recalls in the USA, UK and Republic of Ireland between 2004 and 2010. We show product recalls have become more frequent over time and operational hazards, rather than biological and chemical hazards, are the most frequent recall type within the agri-food industry.
