Research Abstract |
The salted food is made by high salt concentration. Therefore this food was safe from harmful microbe. In 2009, there was outbreak of Vibrio parahaemolyticusInfection caused by the salted food of low salt concentration. I investigated the risk of the salted food causing food-borne disease in this study. I carried out market research and bacterial contamination survey of this food. There were many products with low salt concentration. There was no contamination of V. parahaemolyticusin these foods. Artificially inoculated V. parahaemolyticuswere rapidly killed in these foods. These results indicate that the salted foods with low salt concentration have safety from food-borne infectious disease under appropriate control.
