2008年中国大陆污染奶粉事件系列研究报告

2008年中国大陆奶制品制造商三鹿集团生产的一批婴幼儿奶粉中含有化工原料三聚氰胺,导致食用该奶粉的婴儿患上肾结石。中国奶制品污染事件中陆续暴露出一些制造商生产的奶制品含有三聚氰胺。据中国官方公布数字,截止200811月中国大陆地区共有294000名婴幼儿被诊断为因食用问题奶粉患泌尿系统结石,逾5万名婴幼儿入院治疗,其中6例死亡。

 

三鹿牌婴幼儿配方奶粉污染事件发生后,中国迅速组织专家参照联合国粮农组织和世界卫生组织处理食品安全问题的规范操作流程开展了风险评估。评估结果指出2008年中国大陆婴幼儿食用问题奶粉导致泌尿系统结石的原因是奶制品制造商在原奶收购中添加三聚氰胺所致。中国疾病预防控制中心提交的检测报告指出,三鹿集团污染的婴幼儿配方奶粉中三聚氰胺含量为8.6-23.4毫克/公斤体重。这一剂量是三聚氰胺人体可容忍的每日摄取量(TDI)的40-120倍。

 

中国政府在污染奶粉事件处理过程中出台了一系列措施。包括对原奶和奶粉制品进行定期检测;出台婴幼儿泌尿系统结石诊断指南;为2千万儿童提供免费超声波检查;为因食用问题奶粉患泌尿系统结石的患儿提供免费医疗救治及随访。

 

本刊22卷第二期推出了“2008年中国大陆奶粉污染事件系列报导,主要论述了围绕污染奶粉开展的科学研究。我们力图从多角度回顾和总结此次食品安全事件,为科研人员和读者提供详细的数据,为今后食品卫生安全事件的预防和响应提供科学的依据。

摘要

Objective  To develop an analytical method for simultaneously qualitative and quantitative determination of melamine and triazine-related by-products including ammelide, ammeline, and cyanuric acid in milk and milk products by gas chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS).  Methods  Melamine and triazine-related by-products namely ammelide, ammeline and cyanuric acid in the samples were extracted in a solvent mixture of diethylamine, water, and acetonitrile (10:40:50, V/V/V). After centrifugation, an aliquot of the supernatant was evaporated to dryness under a gentle stream of nitrogen gas, and then melamine and triazine-related by-products were derivatized using BSTFA with 1% TMCS. The derivatives of melamine and its analogues were determined by gas chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry using multiple reactional monitoring (MRM) with 2, 6-Diamino-4-chloropyrimidine (DACP) being used as an internal standard.  Results  The linear detectable ranges were from 0.004 mg/kg to 1.6 mg/kg for melamine, ammelide, ammeline, and cyanuric acid with a correlation coefficient no less than 0.999. The recovery rates of the four compounds in spiked blank milk powder at concentrations 0.5, 1, 2 mg/kg were between 61.4%-117.2%, and the relative standard deviation was no more than 11.5% (n=6). The detection limits of melamine, ammelide, ammeline and cyanuric acid in milk powder were 0.002 mg/kg with a ratio of signal to noise of 3.  Conclusion  This GC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of melamine, ammelide, ammeline, and cyanuric acid in milk and milk products is sensitive and specific.

摘要

Objective  To investigate the occurrence and concentrations of melamine and its analogues in tainted infant formula and to identify the etiologic factors for the urinary stones epidemic in infants and young children in China in 2008.  Methods  Sanlu infant formula samples were collected from families of the affected children in Gansu province, and markets in Gansu and Hebei provinces and Beijing city. Melamine and its analogues, including cyanuric acid, ammeline, and ammelide were measured by gas chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry.  Results  High prevalence and concentrations of melamine were found in Sanlu infant formula samples, with low concentrations of cyanuric acid, ammeline and ammelide. Melamine were detected in 87 out of 111 Sanlu infant formula samples with a range of 118 to 4 700 mg/kg,  Conclusion  The results provide strong evidence for melamine as the etiological factor for the urinary stones epidemic in infants and young children in China in 2008.

摘要

Objective  To estimate the dietary melamine exposure in Chinese infants and young children from the consumption of melamine adulterated Sanlu infant formula.  Methods  Four age groups of infants and young children (3, 6, 12, and 24 months) were chosen as the assessed subjects and the maximum amount of infant formula consumption was estimated based on the recommended usage level in the package insert of Sanlu infant formula and other brands. Melamine was analyzed in 111 Sanlu infant formula samples collected from the markets in Beijing and Gansu province using the LC-MS-MS with a limit of quantification of 0.05 mg/kg. Four levels of melamine concentration were chosen to estimate the dietary intakes, including the mean, median, 90th percentile, and maximum.  Results  The infants of 3 months had the highest intake of melamine, and with the increase of the age (month), the intake decreased. Based on the median melamine concentration (1 000 mg/kg) as an example, the melamine intakes for the infants of 3, 6, 12, and 24 months were 23.4, 21.4, 15.0, and 8.6 mg/kg bw/d, respectively.  Conclusion  Dietary melamine intakes from tainted Sanlu infant formula significantly exceeded the TDI level (0.2 mg/kg bw/d) recommended by the WHO Expert Meeting in 2008. However, the present assessment has some limitations including the poor representative samples, the varied melamine concentrations in the adulterated Sanlu infant formula, and other brand infant formula possibly consumed by these infants.

摘要

 

Objectives To study the migration of melamine into foods from plastic food packaging materials and dairy product containers commonly used in China.  Methods  37 samples were collected from the market. The EU migration testing conditions were adopted with distilled water, 3% acetic acid, n-hexane and 15% ethanol being chosen as the simulating solutions. The HPLC method was used to detect melamine.  Results  No melamine was detected in 15 dairy product containers. Among the 22 plastic samples, 16 of polypropylene, and polycarbonate types had no detectable amount melamine while a low level of melamine was found in 3 of the 6 melamine resin containers.  Conclusion  Migration of melamine from food packaging materials in China market is in line with the requirements of EU.
