Bacteria Facts Fact #1: Most living things carry bacteria in or on their bodies! Fact #2: Bacteria can be transferred to food and result in disease. Fact #3: Cleanliness is essential when working with food or in the food industry!

Conditions for Bacteria to Grow Warmth Moisture Food Time

Food Borne Illness Illness resulting after eating contaminated foods. May not be detected from appearance or smell.

Food Borne Illness Statistics The Centers for Disease Control estimates that food borne illnesses cause: approximately 76 million illnesses 325,000 hospitalizations 5,000 deaths in the United States each year

FDA: Food and Drug Administration A Government agency that monitors the safety of the U.S. food supply. Every food or beverage that you can purchase.

Botulism: Source Improperly canned foods Honey Symptoms Abdominal Cramps Double vision Not able to speak or swallow (dry mouth) Nausea

Botulism Cont. The bacteria produces spores that produce toxins. Tiny amounts of toxins can cause poisoning. Never give honey or corn syrup to infants younger than 1yr. Sterilize home canning equipment. Pressure 250*

E-Coli Sources Undercooked ground beef Un-pasteurized milk & juice Fecal matter & infected soil Symptoms Cramps Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting Fever

E-Coli cont. Steak vs. Hamburger? Fecal Contaminated Soil? Unpasteurized milk?

Hepatitis A Source Toxin from Fecal matter, usually improper hand washing Symptoms Fever Loss of appetite Nausea Vomiting Jaundice (Yellow Skin)

Salmonella Source Fresh poultry Raw eggs Symptoms Cramps Diarrhea Nausea Chills Fever Headache

Staphylococci Source HUMAN SOURCES Human skin, nose & throat; passed by not washing hands Symptoms Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea

Stopping Bacteria Heat Kills Bacteria Room Temp. (Danger Zone) Slows Bacteria Fridge Temp. Freezer Temp. Freezes Bacteria Promotes Bacteria

Danger Zone Temperature range of 41*-135* Foods should not be in danger zone for more than 2 hours Heating, reheating, & serving foods, 165* Cold storage of foods, 40* or below

Danger Zone The danger zone is this ideal temperature range where bacteria thrive! We love the danger zone!

What areas does the Danger Zone target? Warmth Moisture Food Time

Internal Temperatures to Remember! 155* Ground meats (pork, beef, veal, lamb) 145* Seafood, beef, lamb, veal 165* All poultry

Thawing Foods In the fridge (best) In a sink full of cold water (change frequently) In the microwave #1

Cross Contamination: Spread of harmful bacteria from one food to another using unsanitary practices. Raw meat or dripping juices Use of an contaminated surface Not washing hands after preparing one food and moving on to another Contaminated cooking equipment
