Abstract:

Objective To understand the pollution situation of chemical pollutants and harmful factors in food in Huanggang City from 2013 to 2024,identify the main contaminated food and pollution factors,and provide data support for food safety supervision in Huanggang City. Methods From 2013 to 2024,according to the food safety risk monitoring plan of Hubei Province and Huanggang City in the past years,5 066 samples of food were collected by random sampling method at 4 sampling stages in 1 district,2 cities and 7 counties of Huanggang City,221 indexes of 10 categories of sampled samples were detected. Results Among 14 661 monitoring indicators of 5 066 food samples,the overall detection rate of chemical pollutants in food was 61.9%,and the over-standard rate was 5.1%. The overall detection rate of each index was 35.6%,and the over-standard rate was 0.7%. The detection rate ranged from 35.0% to 78.4% in different years,and the over-standard rate ranged from 0.3% to 13.6% in different years. The detection rate and the over-standard rate of samples and monitoring indicators in different years were compared,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.01). The main contaminated foods were artemisia(51 parts),youtiao(48 parts) and shiitake mushrooms(29 parts),of which the annual over-standard rate of cadmium in artemisia reached 50% or more. The main pollution factors were food additives(172 items) and heavy metals(77 items),with a high over-standard rate of heavy metals(8.2%). There were statistically significant differences in the detection rate and over-standard rate of monitored food in different sampling links,seasons,regions,and packaging forms(all P<0.05). Conclusion The overall condition of food sold in Huanggang City from 2013 to 2024 was good,with a high qualification rate,but some food pollutants exceeded the standard for a long time. Relevant departments should focus on the supervision of artemesia and youtiao to ensure the food safety of residents.
