On June 22, experts from the University of Stirling in the United Kingdom issued a new report for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, warning of the emergence of food-borne hazards in Southeast Asia
An invasive disease called GBS has been found in freshwater fish widely eaten in Southeast Asia, which can lead to human blood poisoning and meningitis .
An invasive disease called GBS has been found in freshwater fish that are widely eaten in Southeast Asia, which can cause human blood poisoning and meningitis .
They suffered from blood poisoning related to a strain of agricultural streptococcus, which is also called group B streptococcus (GBS).
ST283 infection cases continue to be confirmed in Singapore, with at least 18 cases in July 2020
The aggressive GBS ST283 disease has also been found in other countries in Southeast Asia and surrounding areas, including China, Hong Kong SAR, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam
GBS is heat sensitive and can grow in a wide range of pH values (3-11), and it cannot be completely inactivated even if it is frozen for up to 180 days
- Observation method: Discarding obviously abnormal/sick fish is expected to reduce the risk, but you should not rely solely on the eyes to see, because the fish that looks healthy does not guarantee safety;
- Heat treatment: Proper heating/cooking is a known effective mitigation measure;
- Non-heat treatment: There is no evidence that traditional fish preparation methods without heat treatment are hygienic
- Relevant departments should evaluate the technical capabilities of the country to test GBS ST283
- Target potential consumers, local residents or villagers to implement targeted food safety activities, inform them of the potential risks of eating raw freshwater fish , and focus on rural communities where raw freshwater fish may be commonly consumed
