食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)英國食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局消息,英國食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局日前發(fā)布最新數(shù)據(jù)稱,高達(dá)三分之一的人一生中可能會感染常見于雞肉上面的彎曲桿菌。本次數(shù)據(jù)建立在28萬人的當(dāng)前感染幾率之上。
據(jù)統(tǒng)計,每年約有28萬人會因彎曲桿菌食物中毒而患病。綜合考慮人們的生活方式以及飲食,英國食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局推算,高達(dá)三分之一的人一生有感染彎曲桿菌的可能。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),減少嚴(yán)重感染禽的數(shù)量,可以將公共衛(wèi)生風(fēng)險降低約50%,使得數(shù)以萬計人避免食物中毒的可能。

up to a third of us could fall ill with campylobacter at some point in our lives. We all have a responsibility to do what we can to reduce that figure.Campylobacter is most frequently found on raw poultry and is the biggest cause of food poisoning in the UK. The FSA has released the figure to mark the start of 2015's Food Safety Week and the launch of the 'Chicken Challenge' – its call to the whole food chain, from industry to consumers, to do their bit to halve the number of campylobacter food poisoning cases by the end of 2015.
Over a quarter of a million people in the UK – an estimated 280,000 – currently fall ill with campylobacter food poisoning per year. Depending on people's lifestyle and diet the FSA estimates that campylobacter will affect up to one third of people during their lifetimes. Research has shown that reducing the numbers of the most highly contaminated birds would reduce the public health risk by around 50%, saving thousands of people a year from falling prey to a painful form of food poisoning which, in some cases, can result in paralysis.
