云南家庭食品安全卫生行为与教育研究

自从三鹿奶粉事件后，食品安全在我国得到空间高度的重视，颁布了新的《中华人民共和国食品安全法》，全国建立食品污染物和食源性疾病监测体系。但食品安全不仅是生产者和销售者的责任，家庭也应该在防止食品污染和控制食源性疾病上发挥作用，要有正确的食品安全知识、态度和行为。质量再好和安全的食品，消费者购买回家后，处理不当，也会导致食源性疾病或食物中毒。西方国家，特别是美国，对家庭食品安全卫生行为研究非常重视，投入大量财力和人力，研究引发食源性疾病的家庭食品处理行为，并针对这些行为，开发出一系列的家庭食品安全教育材料。而我国在这方面的研究比较缺乏，本课题将填补此空白。我们选择云南为研究起点，因为云南少数民族众多，饮食习惯与加工方式各异。每年，云南发生食物中毒事件居全国各省之首，急需对各民族的家庭食品安全行为做全面调查，找出原因，开发有针对性的家庭食品安全卫生教育材料和评估工具，然后再把研究推向全国。

Since the Sanlu Milk Powder Incident, food safety has attracted great attention in China. New "Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" was issued. Monitoring system on food pollution and foodborne diseases has been set up all over the country. However, food safety is not just the responsibility of food producers and sellers. Home should also play a role in preventing food pollution and in controlling foodborne diseases. Home members should have right food safety knowledge, attitude and behavior. No matter how good foods are, they can cause foodboren illness or food poisoning if not properly handled by consumers who bring them home. In the western countries, especially the United States of America, the study on home food handling practices is very popular, which has involved a large amount of money and a great number of people. Their study has focused on home food handling practices that lead to foodborne illnesses and developed a series of home safety education materials. Our country lacks such kind of study. Our project will fill in this gap. We choose Yunnan as the initial research site for our study, because Yunnan has a large number of ethnic groups who have different food habits and food handling practices. Every year, Yunnan is on top of all provinces in China that have food poisoning outbreaks. So it is very important and urgent to conduct a comprehensive study on home food handling practices among all ethnic groups in Yunnan to find out causes of foodborne illnesses and to develop home food safety education materials and evaluation tool accordingly. Then, we can move our study to cover other parts of China.
