Modern approaches and methods of solving the problem of studying viral contamination of food products and evaluating its health hazards

Abstract

The article presents the results of food products viral control gained by using modern technologies and methods for indicating epidemiological risks to human health. The overall frequency of viral contamination of the analyzed samples of food products (n = 403) was 10.17 %. Positive samples for rotaviruses (1.99 %), noroviruses (4.47 %), intestinal adenoviruses (3.47 %), and enteroviruses (0.25 %) were detected. The highest number of positive samples was found in vegetables (6.2 %), less in salads (1.5 %) and meat products (1.0 %). In the rest of the analyzed products the frequency of the viral genetic material detection varied from 0.25 % to 0.5 %. The developed algorithm for indicating viral contamination and food virological health safety assessment showed its high effectiveness and efficiency in field testing. Being further introduced, the algorithm will help food infection prevention and improve the epidemiological state of the population as a whole.
