        Background and Objectives: Functional evaluation models are the basis for measuring and improving management systems. The purpose of this research was to meet the needs of dry milk factory in Pegah Shahr E Kord to assess the performance of the HSE system in terms of compliance considering the company's strategies. Methodology and Materials: In this research, with close investigation on standards and models in the field of performance of the HSE management system, the functional evaluation model of this factory was designed in the framework of a Balanced Scorecard Card (BSC). In this model, four layers of Financial, Customer, Internal business processes and Learning- growth were identified and classified with 14 function evaluation criteria and 43 sub-indicators. Results: The results of the balanced scorecard model showed that the highest and lowest scores among the studied layers were internal processes with an average of 69.28 and learning-growth with an average of 56.66 respectively. Also, the overall average score of the company in all four layers calculated 64.2 out of 100 which, according to a standard score, the scores over 60, reflects the relatively good Function of the organization in the field of HSE management. Conclusion: According to the results, Value Indicators presentable for Customers, Audit and Improvement of HSE Performance Indicators, Policy Development and Strategic goals, organization and provision of resources for HSE management, risk management for HSE, system planning and designing in order to establish the principles of HSE in the organization, are the most important strengths and information sources, also human capital and presentable value to society and government are the most important improvable parts of the HSE system in studied organization.

        Cronobacter sakazakii is one of the main pathogens that transmitted by feeding infants by contaminated infant formula and baby-food. This bacterium is one of the major causes of mortality, digestive diseases and meningitis in newborns. This study was performed in order to detect microbiological and molecular contamination by Cronobacter sakazakii and study antibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial isolates. Two hundred samples of infant formula and baby food from deferent brands were collected and after microbial detection, bacteria’s isolates were detected, using PCR method. Then antibiotic resistance pattern of isolates were evaluated using disk diffusion method. Three samples from total 100 baby food (3%) and 5 samples from total 100 infant formula (5%) had Cronobacter sakazaki infection. A, B and C brands from infant formula and A, D brands from baby food were contaminated with Cronobacter sakazakii. B and C brands from infant formula (10% each of them) and A brand from baby food (8%) were infected with Cronobacter sakazakii. Isolates from Cronobacter sakazakii which isolate from infant formula and baby food demonstrated most Sensitivity to ciprofloxacin (20.38), meropenem (19.83) and imipenem (19.63) and most resistance to amoxicillin, ampicillin, tigecycline, ticarcillin, aztreonam and ceftazidime. Careful inspection on the raw material quality of infant formula and baby food as well as, exact supervision on production procedure, sanitation in addition to use natural antimicrobial can reduce Prevalence rate of this bacteria.
