肯德基冰塊被曝比馬桶水還髒

Ice cubes used by fast-food giants KFC, McDonald's and Guangzhou-based Kungfu at branches in Beijing contained bacteria far in excess of the national limit, according to China Central Television. Some were even dirtier than toilet bowl water, CCTV said.
中國中央電視臺報道，快餐巨頭肯德基、麥當勞和總部設於廣州的真功夫北京分店出售冰塊裏的細菌含量遠遠超過國家標準，甚至有些比馬桶水還要髒。

The three fast-food operators said they were carrying out inspections and enhancing disinfection at the stores involved. CCTV reporters sent ice cubes from the Chongwenmen outlets of KFC, McDonald's and Kungfu for lab tests. The KFC ice cubes were 20 times the limit, and 13 times higher than water samples taken from toilet bowls.
三家快餐店運營商均表示，他們對餐廳都進行過衛生檢查，還加強了消毒措施。中央電視臺記者將北京崇文門肯德基、麥當勞和真功夫分店供應的冰塊送到實驗室檢測，發現肯德基冰塊細菌含量超過國家標準20倍，超過廁所馬桶水細菌含量13倍。

The amount of bacterial colonies found at McDonald's and Kungfu ice cubes reached 120 CFU and 900 CFU (colony-forming units) per milliliter respectively, exceeding the national limit of 100 per milliliter. The CFU level of Kungfu's ice cubes was six times higher than toilet water, CCTV reported.
中央電視臺報道，麥當勞和真功夫的冰塊裏細菌含量分別爲每毫升120菌落單位和900菌落單位，均超過每毫升國家標準100菌落單位。真功夫冰塊裏細菌含量超過馬桶水6倍。

The intake of food with excessive level of colonies could lead to dysentery and diarrhea, said Ding Ke, an associate professor of food science and engineering of the Beijing University of Agriculture. Wu Jing, a doctor at Beijing Shijitan Hospital, said excessive amount of colonies meant a higher chance of pathogenic bacteria and may make food rotten and stale.
北京農業大學食品科學與工程副教授丁軻說，食用菌落單位大量超標的食物有可能導致腹瀉、痢疾等疾病。北京世紀壇醫院醫生吳靜說，菌落總數超標，就意味着致病菌的機會增加了，還可能造成食物的腐爛、變質。

Dirty ice machines and a poor awareness of food safety such as the importance of washing hands and poor sterilization procedures are some of the reasons that may lead to high level of bacterial colonies, experts said.
有專家稱，不乾淨的製冰機、缺乏食品衛生觀念、忽視洗手重要性、消毒過程大意等都是造成細菌菌落數過高的原因。
