Immunochromatography-based methods are more favored over conventional sophisticated techniques for species identification and meat fraud detection. There is a growing need for an on-spot, minimally pre- processing detection tool for identifying donkey meat in beef within the routine meat inspection procedures by the food safety and quality inspectors during daily consumer meat purchases. The newly developed kit has a limit of detection as low as 10% donkey meat in beef meat and detects 1% (w/w%) of donkey meat with reduced visualization intensity, demonstrating the assay’s stability under different adulteration conditions. The kit was validated using 26 meat samples from different butcher shops in the Greater Cairo Area of Egypt, and compared with PCR analysis. Both methods confirmed that 4 samples (15.4%) were adulterated with donkey meat. The sensitivity of the developed lateral flow kit test reached 100%. This study introduces a powerful, rapid tool for detecting donkey meat adulteration in beef within 2 min, offering promising potential for real-world applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"20 1","pages":"29 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, under certain conditions, users in such cabins can avoid wearing personal protective equipment for skin and eyes. The protective effect depends on the technical design and handling of the different cabin types and can be divided into categories with different levels of protection. Since the level of protection of the different types of cabins and the associated possibility of not wearing personal protective equipment has not been sufficiently scientifically verified in the past, the present study was carried out to close this gap. Field and laboratory test methods were developed and used to assess exposure levels. External contamination of the cabin was measured using various dosimeters. Exposure inside the cabins was measured on coveralls and gloves to measure dermal exposure and with aerosol sampling pumps to determine inhalation exposure. Tests were conducted on tractors with different cab categories using an air-assisted orchard sprayer as a worst-case scenario for exposure to spray drift. Additionally, an alternative laboratory test method was developed and conducted to evaluate filter efficiency under controlled conditions and compare it with the field tests. The results showed that exposure inside closed cabins was generally low and was not notably correlated with the cabin category. All types of cabins tested were found to provide significant protection from dermal and inhalation exposure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"20 1","pages":"63 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00003-024-01531-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measures to monitor meat substitution are being implemented in many parts of the world. However, information on similar efforts in Tanzania is scarce. This study aimed to assess species authenticity in kebabs sold in the Kilosa District. During 4 months (November 2023 to March 2024), 100 processed kebabs were purchased from fast food outlets across 3 wards: Dumila (<i>n</i> = 49), Kimamba (<i>n</i> = 24), and Mikumi (<i>n</i> = 27). Species authentication was conducted using High-resolution melting analysis and DNA barcoding, targeting two mitochondrial markers: cytochrome oxidase 1 (<i>COI</i>) and <i>16 S</i> rRNA. Out of 100 kebabs, 64 were misidentified. Notably, goat-based kebabs were the most substituted, with 36 out of 43 (83.7%) containing different species: cattle (30), chicken (2), impala (1), and warthog (3). Out of 40 cattle kebabs, 18 (45%) consisted of meat from different species: chicken (7), goat (8), 2 impala (2), and 1 warthog (1). Chicken kebabs had only 7 undeclared cattle species, and all 3 samples sold as mutton kebabs were substituted with cattle (2) and goat (1). The findings indicate a high prevalence of species substitution in meat products within the Kilosa District. Undeclared wildlife species might represent illegal bushmeat harvests in the conserved ecosystems. Extensive meat inspections and educational interventions are recommended to ensure the integrity of the meat market, consumer trust, and the conservation of wildlife.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"20 1","pages":"41 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the exposure route via foodstuffs is essential. In this study, we analyzed MP contamination in commonly available brands of crystal and iodized powder salts from India and Sri Lanka. MPs were isolated and identified using digestion, filtration, microscopy, and Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. MPs were more abundant in Indian salt (17.16 ± 8.81 MPs/kg) than in Sri Lankan salt (7.9 ± 6.2 MPs/kg), with crystal salt showing higher MP levels than iodized salt in both countries. Fiber-shaped black and white MPs (< 1 mm) were the most common. ATR-FTIR analysis confirmed the polymer composition, predominantly polypropylene and polyethylene, in both Indian (56%, 24%) and Sri Lankan (42%, 28%) samples. Based on polymer hazard scores, the chemical risk of salts was categorized as level II (Sri Lanka) and IV (India). If a person consumes 5 g of salt per day (World Health Organization), Indians would ingest 0.085 MPs/day (31.025 MPs/year), and Sri Lankans would consume 0.0395 MPs/day (14.4175 MPs/year). The presence of MPs in salts is likely due to the use of contaminated water in production and specific manufacturing processes. Ingesting MPs through daily salt consumption poses a risk to human health, highlighting the need for measures to protect salt sources and improve production processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"19 4","pages":"411 - 423"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142636678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
