This study was performed to assess the microbial contamination level for the processing of sandwich products in the middle of Gyeongnam province from December 2004 to January 2005. A total of 85 samples were collected from 5 sandwich shops. These samples were tested sanitary indication bacteria, such as aerobic Plate count(APC), coliforms, and Escherchia coli and pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. As a result of APC and coliform count ranged 0-4.59 $log_{10}$ CFU/(ml, g, 100 $cm^2$, hand) and 0-3.86 $log_{10}$ CFU/(ml, g, 100 $cm^2$, hand), respectively. Especially, the highly contaminated items for APC were confirmed 1.64-4.59 $log_{10}$ CFU/g to employees', raw materials and sandwich in all items. Escherichia coli was isolated from 5 samples. Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus were detected in 1 sample and 11 samples from utensil, raw materials and sandwiches, respectively. However, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. were not detected in anywhere. For the production of safety sandwich, education of sanitation for employees, control of raw materials, and continuous monitoring for microorganism will be required.

본 연구는 선선편이 농산물 및 가공환경 중에 발생하는 미생물학적 위해 요소를 분석하여 공정 중 오염을 유발하는 지점을 재분석하고, 현재 사용되는 HACCP 계획서의 CCP 검증을 통하여 새로운 HACCP 가이드라인을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 대상인 A업체의 공장 내의 환경 오염도를 나타내는 공중 낙하균의 구획 분리 등의 관리로 인하여 $10^1$ log CFU/plate/15 min 이하의 대체적으로 낮은 오염도를 보였다. 기구 및 설비에 대한 표면 오염도를 검사 한 결과, E. coli는 검출되지 않았으며, 기구 및 설비의 총균수와 대장균군 오염도는 1~2 log CFU/100 $cm^2$ 수준을 보였다. 그러나 재료가 직접적으로 닿는 기구 중 원재료를 다듬는 도마($4.20{\pm}2.12$ log CFU/$cm^2$)와 세척 후 이용하는 탈수기 의 표면($4.57{\pm}0.92$ log CFU/$cm^2$)의 총균수의 오염도가 높게 나와 도마와 탈수기를 통해 교차 오염의 위험성이 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. A업체의 주요 생산 품목인 양상추와 양배추의 공정별 미생물 감소 효과를 본 결과, 양상추와 양배추 원재료의 총균수는 5~6 log CFU/g, 대장균군은 2.5 log CFU/g 정도의 오염도를 보였으며, 박피 및 절단, 1차 세척, 2차 세척, 건조의 과정을 거친 후의 최종 완제품에 대하여 양상추와 양배추의 총균수는 3~4 log CFU/g, 대장균군은 1~2 log CFU/g의 오염도를 보여 공정 과정을 거치는 동안 미생물이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 2차 세척과 탈수의 과정에서 미생물의 오염도가 유지 또는 증가하여 2차 세척과 탈수 공정에 대한 관리가 필요하였다. 공정 환경과 공정 효과에 대한 미생물학적 위해 요소를 분석한 결과, 기존의 HACCP 계획서에서 지정한 CCP(1차 세척공정, 금속 검출 공정)외에 세 개의 CP(2차 세척 공정, 탈수공정, 완제품의 저장)를 추가 설정한 새로운 HACCP 가이드라인을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 당면의 원 부재료 및 제조공정별 위해요소분석을 실시하여 현장에 적용할 수 있는 HACCP 관리를 위한 과학적 근거자료를 마련하고자 하였다. 원 부재료, 공정별, 최종 제품, 기기 및 기구류, 환경으로부터 샘플을 수집하고, 미생물 분석은 일반세균, 대장균군, 대장균, 장내세균과 병원성 세균 5종(B. cereus, E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., S. aureus)에 대해 실시하였다. 원재료인 고구마 전분은 일반세균 3.02 log CFU/g로 나타났고, 대장균군, 장내세균은 불검출되었다. 키토산과 냉각수에서 각각 일반세균 3.47 log CFU/g, 2.72 log CFU/g로 검출되었다. 코팅수는 일반세균, 대장균군, 장내세균이 각각 6.45 log CFU/g, 4.13 log CFU/g, 4.73 log CFU/g로 검출되었다. 반죽은 일반세균, 대장균군, 장내세균 각각 4.31 log CFU/g, 2.71 log CFU/g, 2.88 log CFU/g으로 나타났으며, 호화 후 시료에서 일반세균 1.63 log CFU/g으로 감소하였다. 그러나 호화 이후의 공정부터 꾸준히 증가하여 최종 제품까지 일반세균 수가 약 5 log CFU/g로 일정한 수준을 유지하였다. 같은 업체에서 생산된 제품이라도 물리적인 조작이 추가된 제품에서 미생물 오염도가 높게 나타났다. 모든 시료에서 대장균과 병원성 세균은 검출되지 않았다. 기기 및 기구류 중 면대와 면을 걸어두는 기구에서 각각 일반세균 1.83-5.74 log CFU/$100cm^2$, 3.34-4.48 CFU/$100cm^2$로 검출되어 불만족 수준으로 확인되었다. 따라서 교차오염을 방지하기 위해 기기 및 기구류의 적절한 세척 소독 관리가 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 구역별로 공중 낙하균의 오염도를 분석한 결과, 반죽실, 절단구역, 숙성실, 포장실은 청정구역으로 만족범위, 타개실과 건조실은 허용범위로 나타났다. 외부에 노출되어 있는 해동실의 경우 검출균수가 높게 나타났으며 문이나 개폐장치로 추가적인 관리가 필요한 것으로 보인다. 앞선 실험결과를 바탕으로 호화 공정을 미생물학적 관리 지점으로 관리해야 하며 교차오염 방지와 선행요건 프로그램으로 관리되어야 할 것이다.

This survey was conducted to evaluate the microbial contamination level of butcher's shops in Seoul, Korea. For microbial inspections, a total of 584 samples (146 cotton work gloves, 146 utensils and equipments, 154 beef samples, 138 pork samples) were collected from butcher's shops. E. coli and pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and E. coli O157:H7 were tested in the samples. As a result, the level of aerobic plate count (APC) ranged ${\leq}10^4\;CFU/cm^2$ from utensils and equipments, $10^1{\sim}10^9$ CFU/glove from cotton work gloves and ${\leq}10^6$ CFU/g from meat. The APC level of E. coli ranged ${\leq}10^1\;CFU/cm^2$ from utensils and equipments, ${\leq}10^5$ CFU/glove from cotton work gloves, and ${\leq}10^3$ CFU/g from meat, respectively. Staphylococcus aureus was detected in 2 beef samples, 1 pork sample, and 10 used cotton work gloves. Yersinia enterocolitica was detected in 3 beef samples, 1 pork sample, and 3 used cotton work gloves. Listeria monocytogenes was detected in 2 used cotton work gloves. In order to improve the sanitation status of butcher's shops, application of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) or SSOP (Sanitation Standard Operating Procedure), regular hygiene education, and continuous monitoring for microorganisms will be required.

This study was conducted to provide basic data for development of a dietary education textbook and guidebook by investigating and analyzing eating behavior, nutrition knowledge and educational needs in elementary school students. Most of the subjects were eating three meals a day (71.5%) and breakfast (75.3%). The percentage of students who consumed proper amount of meals (49.2%) was low. The percentage of students consuming salty food and fatty foods was 28.6% and 42.1%, respectively. The consumption of meat, fish, egg, bean and tofu was high, while the consumption of vegetables, fruits and seaweed was low. The percentage of students consuming processed food was high, but the percentage reading nutrition labels (34.9%) and hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) mark (26.9%) when buying processed foods was very low. Total scores of eating behavior and nutrition knowledge were significantly higher in female students than in male students (p < 0.05-p < 0.001). The desirable frequency of the education was once a week (60.5%). The most preferred educational method was 'experiment and cooking practice' (40.1%). The students wanted dietary information as 'cooking' (39.0%). As a result of this study, many problems were found in the eating behavior of students and nutritional knowledge was observed to be low as well. On the other hand, the demand for dietary education was very high. The findings of this study suggested the need for developing dietary education programs in order to encourage proper eating habits of students.

In this study, the contamination levels of hygienic indicators and foodborne pathogens in retail meat products were investigated in relation to the various market factors including processing temperature, processing area, and market type. Ground beef samples (n=80) were purchased from 40 meat markets and investigated for microbiological quality. Beefs processed below $20^{\circ}C$ had significantly lower numbers of total coliforms (TC) than these processed over $20^{\circ}C$ (2.01 vs. 2.79 log CFU/g; p<0.05). Interestingly, separation of processing area did not affect the contamination levels. Remarkably, the contamination levels of hygienic indicator differ among market types, indicating that not only processing condition but distribution structure that is directly related with storage period could affect the final microbiological loads of the meat products. In addition, the prevalences of Listeria monocytogenes (a psychrotroph), Enterococcus faecium, and Enterococcus faecalis were 7.5% (6/80), 10.0% (8/80), and 20.0% (16/80), respectively, which is irrelevant to market factors except meat products from wholesale markets where no L. monocytogenes were found among 30 samples. The results of this study indicate that the contamination level of hygiene indicator and foodborne pathogens in retail beef is more related with processing temperature and storage period than other environmental factors.

Rinse & Chill^® technology (RCT) entails rinsing the vasculature using a chilled isotonic solution (3℃; 98.5% water and a blend of dextrose, maltose, and sodium phosphates) to rinse out the residual blood from the carcass. Infusion of pre-chilled solutions into intact animal carcasses immediately upon exsanguination is advantageous in terms of lowering the internal muscle temperature and accelerating chilling. This technology is primarily used for purposes of effective blood removal, favorable pH decline, and efficient carcass chilling, all of which improve meat quality and safety. Although RCT solution contains some substrates, the pre-rigor muscle is still physiologically active at the time of early postmortem and vascular rinsing. Consequently, these substrates are fully metabolized by the muscle, leaving no detectable residues in meat. The technology has been commercially approved and in continuous use since 2000 in the United States and since 1997 in Australia. As of January 2022, 23 plants have implemented RCT among the 5 countries (Australia, US, Canada, New Zealand, and Japan) that have evaluated and approved RCT. All plants are operating under sound Sanitation Standard Operation Procedures (SSOP) and a sound Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program. No food safety issues have been reported associated with the use of this technology. RCT has been adapted by the meat industry to improve product safety and meat quality while improving economic performance. Therefore, this review summarizes highlights of how RCT technically works on a variety of animal types (beef, bison, pork, and lamb).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbial hazards posed by food utensils and fixtures in food service operations at selected middle and high schools located in Seoul, Korea. Methods: We collected 200 samples of utensils and fixtures including cups, spoons/chopsticks, food trays and tables from five different schools in Seoul. Target microorganisms of this study were divided into two groups: total bacterial count and total coliform as indicators of microbial contamination and Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus as pathogens of food poisoning. We used selective media to quantify microbial concentration and 16S rRNA PCR assay for qualitative analysis. In addition, intensive interviews with nutritionists were conducted and observations were made to identify factors that may affect microbial contamination. Logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the relationship between the microbial concentration and operation characteristics of each operation. Results: The level of microbial concentration in school B and C were significantly lower than in school A, D and E (p<0.05). Some samples from school A, D and E showed over 3.4 log CFU/100 $cm^2$ (total bacterial count) and 1.0 log CFU/100 $cm^2$ (total coliform), which requires immediate hygienic action. The number of customers per staff member, periodicity of hygiene education for staff and daily operation time of sterilizers were also found to be important factors related with the microbial contamination of food service operations. Conclusions: These results suggested that not only a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) approach, but also efforts to assess internal risk factors within operations be needed to reduce the microbial contamination of food utensils and fixtures. This study is expected to provide preliminary data for assessing microbial hazards in food service operations.

우리 나라의 학교급식, 병원급식, 및 위탁급식 등에서 위생관리의 수준을 알아보고 앞으로의 개선 및 발전 방안을 논의하였다. 앞으로 발전을 위한 10가지 방안으로서 이들 집단급식에서 (1)인력과 전문성 보강, (2) 건물과 시설의 전용화, (3)조리장 시설 설비의 보강, (4)주 ·부재료 공급 방법의 개선 및 품질관리, (5) 정확한 기계 ·설비류의 생산과 구비, (6)검사 장비와 설비의 보강, (7)개인위생관리의 여건 강화, (8)다양한 위생교육 및 훈련, (9)수입개방에 대한 능동적 대처, (10)관련 연구 및 background data의 축적 강화 등이 이루어져야 할 것으로 도출되었다. 식품 재료를 생산하여 먹기까지에는 여러 가지 단계를 거친다. 그 중에서 조리는 먹기 직전의 단계이다. 영양적으로 우수하고 위생적으로 안전한 재료를 취득하였다 하더라도 이 과정에서 취급이 잘못되면 대규모의 건강 위해를 야기할 수 있다 또 비록 재료가 안전하지 못하였다 하더라도 이 과정에서의 위생관리를 철저히 함으로써 그 위해를 상당히 줄일 수도 있다. 바로 이러한 측면에서 우리는 집단급식 시설의 위생관리가 얼마나 중요한 가를 다시 강조하지 않을 수 없다. 음식물에 의한 위해를 예방하고 위해 요소를 사전에 차단하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 세계적으로 식품위해요소중점관리기준(HACCP)의 도입이 활발하다. 우리 나라에서는 이를 식품제조 ·가공업소에 먼저 도입하였으나 급식 시설에서 시급히 적용하여 건강 위해를 최소화하여야 할 것으로 본다.
