The traditional Japanese food, sushi, prepared from raw and cooked fish and soured rice has become very popular in many European countries, including Denmark. A recent German study showed that sushi prepared by sushi bars had relatively high aerobic plate count levels as well as counts of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. This could be a result of processing conditions and/or cooling and hygiene conditions during storage and preparation ( Atanassova, Reich, & Klein, 2008). The authors concluded that the consumers should be aware of the risk associated with such products, which should be eaten immediately or kept properly refrigerated and eaten no later than the “best before” date.
The objectives of the present study were, firstly to compare the microbial standard of similar Danish sushi products with products from other countries and, secondly to examine the extent to which food authorities detect potential deviations from compliance with own control programs by sushi bars. Thirdly, knowledge among Danish consumers of the control programs carried out by food inspectors was also examined with a special focus on knowledge about microbial monitoring.
The Danish Veterinary and Food administration introduced the so-called Smiley system in 2001 (Kjeldgaard et al., 2010 and Nielsen, 2006; www.findsmiley.dk/en-US/Forside.htm) that resembles the restaurant hygiene grade cards in North America and the “scores on doors” schemes in the UK (Jin and Leslie, 2003 and Worsfold and Worsfold, 2007). This system results in public records from unannounced visits by food inspectors. The inspector evaluations include visual observations; on the spot measurements of temperatures in incubators and in food products and inspection of data recorded under the shops own control programs. Usually microbiological examinations of foods are not a part of the evaluation. We have in this study used the web-based Smiley records to examine the extent to which the Smiley evaluations of the food authorities agree with the microbiological counts of fresh sushi sold by a range of sushi bars in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.
