- W2073136044 abstract "ABSTRACT Foodborne diseases are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and are a growing global concern. A series of recent food safety problems has raised much public concern in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region * . Despite the fact that many resources have been spent on food safety promotion, there has been no noticeable impact on the rising trend of local foodborne disease outbreaks. This quantitative research study aimed to identify what should be targeted in the current local food safety promotion. It presented a descriptive analysis of local official statistics from 1996 to 2005, followed by a comparison of foodborne disease outbreaks and food safety measures in some Asian places. Results found that about 72% of total local confirmed outbreaks were caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella spp., while around 46% of the total outbreaks were due to inadequate cooking and contamination by raw food. It suggests that food safety promotion targeted on these factors may greatly reduce local foodborne disease outbreaks. Further elaboration could have been given if detailed breakdown in each outbreak had been provided. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Based on the official figures, the annual incidence of local foodborne disease outbreaks and the number of victims affected are generally increasing despite the fact that many resources and much manpower have been spent on food safety promotion and on investigating each foodborne disease outbreak in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Official statistics for the past decade indicate that the majority of foodborne disease outbreaks has been dominated by some causative agents and contributing factors. Under limited resources, instead of providing some general food safety promotion programs, it suggests that the local food safety promotion should be targeted on these dominant factors. This may greatly reduce the number of outbreaks and victims affected. If this were carried out, not only could the economic burden in this health sector be reduced, but the public health campaigns could also be conducted more efficiently, and more resources could be released to prepare for combating other newly emerging diseases." @default.
