食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)美國食品安全新聞網(wǎng)消息,經(jīng)過調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),菲律賓因食用糖果造成的食物中毒事件的元兇為金黃色葡萄球菌。
菲律賓衛(wèi)生部門稱,食物中毒的原因很可能是糖果工廠的操作衛(wèi)生未達標,工人手和汗水接污染糖果引發(fā)污染。
目前,本次疫情已造成1925人患病,大部分是兒童。截止周二,仍至少有66人在住院。
目前問題工廠已被菲律賓政府關(guān)停。
部分原文報道如下:
The illness outbreak connected to fruit candies that sickened nearly 2,000 people in the Philippines was likely caused by poor worker hygiene at the production facility, resulting in contamination by Staphylococcus aureus, according to newly released test results.
After health authorities ran tests of samples of candy in search of foodborne bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, results turned up Staphylococcus, a common bacteria often found on human skin and associated with dirty hands and body sweat in food facility settings.
