Abstract

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation and existing problems of the food safety risk monitoring ability of CDC at all levels in Jiangxi Province， and provide basis for further improving.MethodsThe basic information， personnel allocation， testing ability and personnel training of CDC at all levels in Jiangxi Province were investigated by self-filled questionnaire survey.ResultsA total of 97 CDCs at all levels were investigated in Jiangxi Province， among which 43 CDCs at county （district） level did not obtain qualification certification. The average area of the provincial CDC was 3 495 m2， and the average laboratory area was 968 m2. There were 1 091 people engaged in food related activities in the provincial CDC， mainly technical personnels， accounting for 75%； The composition characteristics of technical personnels and quality management personnels were basically the same： bachelor’s degree， more than 6 years experience， 30-50 years old personnels accounted for the highest proportion. The overall monitoring capacity of CDCs in the province was weak. Except for the provincial level， the average food detection capacity of CDCs at city and county （district） level didn’t meet the national requirements. In 2018， a total of 1 430 training was received in the province， with an average 1.3 training per person per year.ConclusionIn Jiangxi Province， the talent team construction of CDC at all levels needs to be strengthened， and it is urgent to expand the staff team of CDC at local level， especially to improve the proportion of highly educated talents. The monitoring capacity needs to be improved， and the passing rate of certification of inspection and testing institutions of county （district） level CDC institutions needs to be improved.
