Abstract：Objective To investigate the contamination status of food-borne pathogens in food in Anshan City so as to provide scientific evidence for surveillance and early-warning of food-borne diseases.

Results A total of 275 samples were collected in 2013. 50 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected, with the total detection rate of 18.18%. The detection rate of Bacillus cereus was the highest (42.22%), followed by Enterobacter sakazakii (32.00%). The detection rate of pathogenic bacteria in infant food was the highest (23.00%), followed by aquatic products (12.50%) and milk and dairy products (8.33%).
