The recall descriptive study was implemented in the period 2017-2021 of 5,696 food samples (about 1,139 samples/year) in the Nam Dinh Provincial Department of Food Safety and Hygiene. The ratios of microbiology and physicochemical parameters which do not meet the regulation were 4.46% and 3.54%, respectively. Meat and its products were microbiology contaminated at the highest ratio of 8.4%, followed by vegetables and their products were 4.09%, cereals and their products were 3.5%, and non-alcoholic beverages were 2.27%. The main causes of microbiology contamination were Coliform at 4.97%, E. coli at 3.69%, and Pseudomonas at 4.62%. The physicochemical contaminations in meat products were mainly borax at 8.64 %, and the rancidity in frying oil was 19.5 %. Ensuring food safety in recent years has seen positive changes; the ratio of contamination in food surveillance in hazard monitoring in the period 2017-2021 sharply decreased compared to the previous period.

Multidrug resistant bacteria have become a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Resistance to last resort antibiotics such as: colistin, newer generation cephalosporins is one of the most important current public health problems. Escherichia coli is the member of the normal microbiota of the human intestine and the intestinal and extra-intestinal pathogenic strains. Treating E. coli infection become difficult because of their resistance to different antibiotics, even to last resort antibiotics. The present study aimed to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic resistance against colistin in 181 extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli isolated from healhthy people and clinical specimens, (28 from healthy people, 153 from clinical specimens). The results showed: Out of 181 E. coli isolates, 13 (7.2%) were identified as colistin resistant phenotype in which 3.6% isolates from healthy people and 0.65% from clinical specimens was positive for the mcr-1 gene. Non of the ESBL producing E.coli isolates had the mcr-3 or mcr-5 genes.

Disposable plastic utensils such as plastic boxes and foam boxes are becoming more and more popular with significant output in Vietnam. These products are mainly made from polystyrene, which should be strictly controlled to reduce the risk of food insecurity, due to the leaching of certain substances into food. Therefore, conducting a study to determine the toxic substances remaining in the styrofoam box is necessary, with objective is to determine the percentage of foam food container products with total volatiles (through the determination of substances: styrene, ethylbenzene, toluene, n-propylbenzene) exceeding the allowable limit according to QCVN 12-1:2011/BYT. The study conducted on 138 samples of foam boxes randomly collected at 46 markets in 23 districts in Ho Chi Minh City, with analytical method being GC-MS technical method for the determination of volatile compounds from foam boxes. Results showed that all 138 foam samples had amount of each styrene, ethylbenzene below 1 mg/g, total styrene and ethylbenzene less than 1 mg/g, total volatiles (styrene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene) are all below 5 mg/g. Conclusion: There should be stricter control regulations on the quality of disposable food containers and the use of foam boxes should be limited to reduce the impact on the environment.

A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the current status of food ingredients in the collective kitchens of businesses and schools with domestic capital in Hung Yen province in 2019. The results of the study showed that the amount of leafy vegetables, root vegetables, fruit and aquatic products purchased at the production unit determined to have a certificate of eligibility for the establishment or other equivalent papers accounts for a small proportion of 1.9%, 0.9%, 0.9%, 0.4%, respectively. 01% of vegetable and fruit providers, 41.9% of rice millers and 1.5% of aquaculture providers have certificates of eligibility for food safety or other documents. Most of the remaining raw materials were purchased from small-scale, household-scale production households that do not have a certificate of eligibility for food safety or other equivalent papers. Based on the obtained results, the research team proposes to the Provincial People's Committee to have a policy to expand the models of safe vegetable growing to meet the needs of collective kitchens as well as people in the province. Collective kitchens, especially large-scale kitchens with a large concentration of workers, need to increase the purchase of raw materials for vegetables, tubers and fruits at production facilities that have been certified to meet food safety conditions, VietGAP.

Contamination levels of two typical perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) were evaluated in Vietnamese fish samples by using our monitoring results and database reported in previous studies. In freshwater fish taken from West and Yen So Lakes (Hanoi), PFOS and PFOA concentrations ranged from < 0.030 to 0.48 (mean 0.12) ng/g, and from < 0.010 to 0.19 (mean 0.058) ng/g, respectively. These levels were comparable to those measured in fish samples from other areas in Vietnam, but were generally lower than values documented for fish samples from other countries. PFOS and PFOA daily intake doses via fish consumption ranged from 0.015 to 0.48 (mean 0.12) and from 0.005 to 0.20 (mean 0.065) ng/kg/day. In general, these intake doses were lower than the reference dose of 20 ng/kg/day, suggesting acceptable levels of risk.

In general, these intake doses were lower than the reference dose of 20 ng/kg/day, suggesting acceptable levels of risk.","PeriodicalId":12896,"journal":{"name":"Heavy metals and arsenic concentrations in water, agricultural soil, and rice in Ngan Son district, Bac Kan province, Vietnam","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84045835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The “Ba kich” (Extractum Morinda ofcinalis) dried extract was evaluated for repeated dose toxicity at 28 days in rabbits. In a repeat dose toxicity test, rabbits were given oral solution of dry extract of Ba kich at the level of 0.2 g/kg and 1.0 g/kg for 28 days. Blood samples were taken on days 0, 14 and 28 to check biochemical and hematological parameters. Liver and kidney samples were obtained on day 28 for histopathology. The results of the 28-day repeated dose toxicity assessment showed that the dried Ba kich extract did not have a statistically significant effect on the biochemical and hematological indices, and did not cause damage to the histopathology of the kidney. However, dried Ba kich extract at both dose levels caused fatty degeneration and congestion in the liver of experimental rabbits.
