据sciencedirect数据库消息，12月份《食品科技动态》（Trends in Food Science & Technology）杂志刊登一项研究食品召回趋势的论文，对美国、英国和爱尔兰的召回数据进行了分析,发现操作失误是召回的主因。
文章指出，食品行业日渐增多的产品召回事件导致人们对食品安全产生质疑，然而以往的研究只关注导致召回的生物性危害，而未考虑召回风险因素随时间的变化情况。
在本次研究中，科研人员通过研究2004年-2010年期间，美国、英国和爱尔兰召回的2070批次注册食品的数据，对食品行业内导致召回的生物性、操作性和化学性危害进行了系统分析。
结果表明，三个国家的产品召回事件随时间推移而增多，操作失误是食品行业内导致召回最主要的原因，而非生物性和化学性危害。
部分原文报道如下：
The increasing frequency of product recalls within the agri-food industry has led many to question food safety. Research studies also often focus on biological hazards without considering how past, present and emerging risks change over time.
We undertake a systematic review of the different biological, operational and chemical hazards within the agri-food industry using a dataset of 2070 registered food recalls in the USA, UK and Republic of Ireland between 2004 and 2010. We show product recalls have become more frequent over time and operational hazards, rather than biological and chemical hazards, are the most frequent recall type within the agri-food industry.
