Healthy Food
Street sellers, particularly in developing countries, supply large amounts of food
31
people on low incomes. This sector (部门) also employs some 6%~25% of the work force, mainly women, in developing countries, and provides markets for agricultural and other produce. In many countries,
32
, the authorities are not willing to recognize it as a formal sector of the food
33
system; they may ignore it in food control programs or even try to put an end to
34
. There are two possible contaminants (污染物): pathogenic (病原) micro-organisms (微生物)
35
harmful chemicals. As
36
as micro-organisms are concerned, there is apparently no convincing evidence that street foods are more involved in the transmission of infection than foods obtained in,e.g. hotels. Studies in Egypt and elsewhere have found street foods to compare not unfavorably with hotel
37
in respect of contamination with micro-organisms. Some street foods were found to be contaminated with pathogens (病原菌), but so were foods from four, and five-star
38
in the same area.
Harmful chemicals have been found in street foods,and food exposed for sale on roadsides, may become
39
by lead from vehicle exhausts.
Health dangers may arise from: purchase of raw materials of
40
quality; improper storage, processing, and cooking, leading
41
reuse of water; limited piped drinking-water; lack of refrigeration (冷藏); unsatisfactory waste-disposal facilities; and personal cleanliness.
The authorities should
42
into account the potentials of different categories of food for transmitting disease, and should set appropriate standards of control for the different categories—sellers of bottled drinks require less control than those of food. Dry foods, dried grains, and sugared foods are
43
likely to transmit disease than cooked rice, low-acid milk, egg, and meat products.
44
, foods which are thoroughly cooked and eaten at
45
are safer than precooked food kept at high temperatures for several hours.
