In 2008, the French Institute for Public Health Surveillance reported an increase in the number of histamine food poisoning outbreaks and cases in France. The aim of this study was to propose a new monitoring plan for characterizing consumers' exposure to histamine through fishery products. As fish products of concern are numerous, we proposed that the number of samples allocated for a fish category be chosen based on the risk associated with the category. Point risk estimates of histamine poisoning were assessed with the Risk Ranger tool. Fresh fish with high histidine content was found to contribute most to the number of cases. The (estimated) risks associated with the consumption of canned and deep-frozen fish appear marginal as compared with the risk associated with fresh fish with high histidine concentrations. Accordingly, we recommend excluding canned and deep-frozen fish from the monitoring plan, although these risk estimates can be biased. Within a category, samples were proportional to the relative food consumption of the different fishes. The spatial and seasonal consumption patterns were also taken into account for the design of the new monitoring plan. By testing appropriate numbers of samples from categories of fish products of concern, this plan will permit investigation of trends or comparison of product categories presenting risks of histamine poisoning.

Tanjung Taruna Village is one of the areas in Jabiren Raya Subdistrict, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan province. This village is included in the peat swamp area and the Kahayan river basin. This village is geographically located in a watershed, making fishery products abundant, but the local community is constrained by marketing and processing fishery resources. Most of the population works as fishermen. This Village Development Grant Program (PHBD) activity aims to provide training and assistance to increase knowledge, skills and community welfare. The method of activity is carried out by conducting socialization, training and mentoring on the processing of fish into shredded and meatball products in order to increase the sale value of these fish which previously were only sold in the form of fresh fish and salted fish. The results of the activity showed that the participation of the participants was quite good with 38 participants. Based on the results of the training evaluation, it is known that 95.5% of the training participants have increased knowledge and can process fish products from their natural resources to be processed into fish balls and fish floss can be used as a source of household income.

SUMMARYDuring 2012 real-time syndromic surveillance formed a key part of the daily public health surveillance for the London Olympic and Paralympic Games. It was vital that these systems were evaluated prior to the Games; in particular what types and scales of incidents could and could not be detected. Different public health scenarios were created covering a range of potential incidents that the Health Protection Agency would require syndromic surveillance to rapidly detect and monitor. For the scenarios considered it is now possible to determine what is likely to be detectable and how incidents are likely to present using the different syndromic systems. Small localized incidents involving food poisoning are most likely to be detected the next day via emergency department surveillance, while a new strain of influenza is more likely to be detected via GP or telephone helpline surveillance, several weeks after the first seed case is introduced.

AbstractTo provide a comprehensive overview of the amounts of unesterified and bound 2- and 3-monochloropropanediol (MCPD) and glycidyl esters (G–E) in processed fishery products sold in Germany, an analysis of various frequently consumed products was conducted. In total, 258 commercial samples of breaded and pre-fried fishery products (e.g., frozen fish fingers), fried fish products (e.g., products in marinade), canned fish, smoked fish and some smoked spice preparations were examined. In addition, the effect of different kitchen preparation methods (e.g., baking, frying and roasting) on the MCPD and G–E amounts of fish fingers was studied. The mentioned process contaminants, MCPD and G-E, were quantifiable in the majority of the samples. Although pre-fried and fried fishery products predominantly contained MCPD esters (MCPD-E), mainly free MCPD was found in smoked fish. Compared with other types of smoke generation, hot smoked fish prepared in traditional Altona smoking kilns contained, on average, the highest 3-MCPD contents (range: 12–246 µg/kg). The amounts of bound MCPD in the fried fish products (range for 3-MCPD-E: < LOQ-808 µg/kg) were not significantly different from the amounts in the investigated pre-fried fish samples (range for 3-MCPD-E: < LOQ-792 µg/kg). However, they differ significantly from the amounts in unfried products (< LOQ). After preparation in the kitchen, the contents in the ready-to-eat fish fingers depend primarily on the initial contaminant amounts of the frozen product and/or the frying oil, respectively.

Anisakis simplex is a zoonotic nematode which can cause human anisakiasis. Furthermore, A. simplex allergens, even of dead larvae can cause allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Due to the frequent occurrence in fish muscles and pathogenicity, A. simplex is a serious danger for fish products consumers. Therefore, it is necessary to examine fish and fish products for the presence of these parasites before placing on the market. The purpose of this paper is review of methods for A. simplex detection in fish and fishery products. These methods differ according to the effectiveness and type of the target analyte. They also have different suitability for examination of matrices with different properties. Moreover this paper presents legislations associated with A. simplex detection. .
