Abstract

Three-hundred samples of powdered infant formula milk and related products from four different manufacturers in 2010 were collected and surveyed their contaminations for aerobic bacteria, coliform, Enterobacter(Cronobacter) sakazakii, and food-borne pathogens. Fifteen samples of sterilized infant formula milk were all negative on these microorganisms. In all collected products of un sterilized infant formulas and follow-on infant formulas, aerobic bacteria were detected at 239 (83.9%) among 285 samples, and they all were found below $10^3$ cfu/g. Coliform bacteria were also detected at four among 285 samples. Salmonella spp. and Ent. sakazakii, weren't detected at the all samples. Bacillus cereus was detected at 24 (8.4%) among 285 samples. The level of B. cereus was below 100 cfu/g but it was suitable for the range of specification of B. cereus in infant formulas. Clostridium perjringens, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes weren't also detected. In consequence, it was suitable for total viable count, coliform and potential pathogen to the specification of infant formulas and related products.

2010년 국내 4개 제조업체에서 제조한 조제분유 190개, 성장기용 조제분유 95개, 조제우유 15개 등 300개 조제유류를 수집하여 일반세균, 대장균군 및 위해세균에 대한 오염실태를 조사하였다. 그 결과 멸균제품인 조제우유는 일반 세균수, 대장균군을 포함하여 모든 검사에서 음성을 나타내었다. 이에 반하여 비멸균제품인 조제분유와 성장기용 조제분유에서의 일반세균수는 전체 시료 중 83.9%가 검출되었다. 조제분유는 전체 시료 중 72.6%가 g당 10~100 cfu를, 100~1,000 cfu가 7.9%로 조사되었으며, 성장기용조제분유는 전체 시료 중 79.0%가 g당 1~100 cfu를, 100~1,000 cfu가 11.6%로 조사되어 모든 제품이 1,000 cfu/g 이하를 나타내었다. 대장균군에 대한 검사에서는 전제 제품 중 조제분유와 성장기용조제분유가 각각 3건(1.6%)과 1건(1.1%)이 검출되었으며, 그 수준은 3.6, 3.0, 9.1, 9.1 MPN/g으로 조사되어 국내 기준 규격 (n = 5, c = 1, m = 0, M = 10)에 모두 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, FAO/WHO에서 category A 세균으로 분류하고 있는 Salmonella spp.와 Ent. sakazakii에 대한 검사에서는 모두 불검출로 조사되었다. category C group인 c. perfringens, E. coli O157, S. aureus, L. monocytogenes 4종의 식중독 유발 세균에 대한 검사에서도 모두 음성으로 나타났다. category C 세균 종 B. cereus는 조제분유와 성장기조제분유에서 전체 사료 중 12개 제품에서 g당 10-100 cfu의 수준의 균수가 검출되었다. 이와 같이 조제유류의 오염지표 세균 및 위해세균에 대한 검사에서 모두 국내 기준에 적합한 것으로 조사되었다.
