Objective To investigate the contamination level of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) in the production chain of the Liuzhou river snails rice noodles, promptly assess the risk of VP in the production chain. Methods From 2023 to 2024, a total of 487 simlpes, including snails and snail meat, semi-finished soup packets, and pre-packed Liuzhou river snails rice noodles final products, were randomly collected from Liuzhou agricultural markets and manufacturing enterprises in Liuzhou. A conbination of culture-based methods and real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect VP. Results Among 70 snails samples from agricultural market with a detection rate of 38.6% and an average contamination level of 16.1 MPN/g in 44 snails samples. In the 41 snails and snail meat sample from manufacturing enterprises showing the detection rate of 2.4%; no VP was detected in the semi-finished soup package or final product. Conclusion Although VP contamination is relatively common in snails at the retail trade, the contamination rate of snails and snail meat in the enterprise is low. Furthermore, the repeated boiling in Liuzhou river snails rice noodles production can effectively control VP. Therefore, the risk of VP contamination in the Liuzhou river snails rice noodles production chain is relatively low.
