What are six common symptoms of a foodborne illness listed on pp 2-3? Diarrhea Vomiting Fever Nausea Abdominal cramps Jaundice

The Latest Big Five Pathogens (pp 2-3) Shigella spp. Salmonella typhi Enterohemorrhagic or shiga toxin-producing E. coli Hepatitis A Norovirus

Intoxication: Bacillus cereus Illness: Bacillus cereus Gastroenteritis Bacteria: Bacillus cereus (Diarrheal Toxin / Infection) Most Common Symptoms Commonly Associated Food Most Common Symptoms Cooked corn Cooked potatoes Cooked vegetables Meat products Watery diarrhea Abdominal cramps and pain Vomiting is absent Instructor Notes The illness is pronounced: ba-CIL-us SEER-ee-us GAS-tro-EN-ter-I-tiss. The bacteria is pronounced: ba-CIL-us SEER-ee-us. Bacillus cereus is a spore forming bacteria found in soil. It is commonly associated with plants and cereal crops such as rice. The bacteria can produce two different toxins when allowed to grow to high levels. Each causes a different type of illness. The diarrheal toxin is created while the bacteria is in the human intestine.

Listeria Illness: Listeriosis Bacteria: Listeria monocytogenes Commonly Linked Food Most Common Symptoms Raw meat Pregnant women: Miscarriage Ready-to-eat food such as: Deli-meat Hot dogs Soft cheese Newborns: Sepsis Pneumonia Meningitis Unpasteurized dairy products Instructor Notes The illness is pronounced: liss-TEER-ee-O-sis. The bacteria is pronounced: (liss-TEER-ee-uh MON-o-SI-TAHJ-uh-neez). Listeria monocytogenes is found in soil, water, and plants. Unlike other bacteria, it grows in cool, moist environments. The illness is uncommon in healthy people, but high-risk populations are especially vulnerable—particularly pregnant women. 2-8

Listeria in sandwich cold-cuts killed 8, sickened 20 over past 10 years in UK hospitals Who are these cooks in hospitals or aged facilities that keep feeding cold-cuts to the vulnerable? Do they have any food safety training? Didn’t they hear about the 23 elderly who were killed by Maple Leaf cold-cuts in Canada in 2008? http://www.barfblog.com 2-9

Salmonella Typhi Source: People Ready-to-eat food Beverages Food Linked with the Bacteria Prevention Measures Ready-to-eat food Beverages Exclude food handlers diagnosed with an illness caused by Salmonella Typhi from the operation Wash hands Cook food to minimum internal temperatures Instructor Notes: Salmonella Typhi lives only in humans. People with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract. Eating only a small amount of these bacteria can make a person sick. The severity of symptoms depends on the health of the person and the amount of bacteria eaten. The bacteria are often in a person’s feces for weeks after symptoms have ended. 2-6

Contaminated drinks & food Third World Food Vendors Salmonella typhi Contaminated drinks & food Third World Food Vendors

Salmonella Poultry and eggs Illness: Salmonellosis Bacteria: Salmonella spp. Commonly Linked Food Most Common Symptoms Poultry and eggs Diarrhea Dairy products Abdominal cramps Produce Vomiting Fever Instructor Notes The illness is pronounced: SAL-men-uh-LO-sis. The bacteria is pronounced: SAL-me-NEL-uh. Many farm animals carry Salmonella spp. naturally. Eating only a small amount of these bacteria can make a person sick. How severe symptoms are depends on the health of the person and the amount of bacteria eaten. The bacteria are often in a person’s feces for weeks after symptoms have ended. 2-13

Illness: Clostridium perfringens Gastroenteritis continued Bacteria: Clostridium perfringens 2-22

When making flavored oils, wash and dry the herbs before use and keep the oil refrigerated at 41 F or below. Discard it after 7days. After baking potatoes handle as a PHF/TCS item and maintain at 41 F or below. Discard it after 7days.

Shigella spp Control of flies inside and outside the operation will help to reduce the risk of Shigella

Staphylococcal Gastroenteritis Illness: Staphylococcal gastroenteritis Bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus Commonly Linked Food Most Common Symptoms Food requiring handling during preparation, including: Salads containing TCS food (i.e., egg, tuna, chicken, macaroni) Nausea Deli meat Vomiting and retching Abdominal cramps Instructor Notes The illness is pronounced: STAF-ul-lo-KOK-al GAS-tro-EN-ter-I-tiss. The bacteria is pronounced: STAF-uh-lo-KOK-us OR-ee-us. Staphylococcus aureus can be found in humans—particularly in the hair, nose, throat, and infected cuts. It is often transferred to food when people carrying it touch these areas on their bodies and then handle food without washing their hands. If allowed to grow to large numbers in food, the bacteria can produce toxins that cause the illness when eaten. Because cooking cannot destroy these toxins, preventing bacterial growth is critical. 2-18

Preventing Staphylococcal Gastroenteritis Most Important Prevention Measure Practice personal hygiene Other Prevention Measures Wash hands, particularly after touching the hair, face, or body Cover wounds on hands or arms Hold, cool, and reheat food correctly 2-19

Infection: Vibrio Gastroenteritis Illness: Vibrio parahaemolyticus Gastroenteritis Bacteria: Vibrio parahaemolyticus Commonly Associated Food Most Common Symptoms Raw or partially cooked oysters Diarrhea and abdominal cramps Nausea and vomiting Low grade fever and chills The illness is pronounced: VIB-ree-O PAIR-uh-hee-mo-LIT-ih-kus GAS-tro-EN-ter-I-tiss. The bacteria is pronounced: VIB-ree-O PAIR-uh-hee-mo-LIT-ih-kus. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is naturally found in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico as well as the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. It is commonly associated with raw or partially cooked oysters harvested from warm waters during the months of April to October. This type of bacteria can grow very rapidly at temperatures in the middle of the TDZ.

Illness: Hemorrhagic colitis E coli 0157:H7 Shiga toxin-producing including: O157:H7, O26:H11, O111:H8, and O158:NM Illness: Hemorrhagic colitis Commonly Linked Food Most Common Symptoms Ground beef (raw and undercooked) Diarrhea (becomes bloody) Contaminated produce Abdominal cramps Kidney failure (in severe cases) Instructor Notes The illness is pronounced: hem-or-RA-jik ko-LI-tiss. The bacteria is pronounced: ess-chur-EE-kee-UH KO-LI. Shiga toxin-producing E. coli can be found in the intestines of cattle. It can contaminate meat during slaughtering. Eating only a small amount of shiga toxin-producing E. coli can make a person sick. Once eaten, it produces toxins in the intestines, which cause the illness. The bacteria are often in a person’s feces for weeks after symptoms have ended. 2-10

Preventing Hemorrhagic Colitis Cookground beef to internal temperature of 155 degrees F for 15 seconds. 2-11

Hepatitis A Virus found in sewage, can be transmitted by infected humans Norovirus is a growing problem with food and person to person transmission

Viruses (pp 2-16) Leading cause of foodborne illness Can survive refrigerator and freezer temperatures Cannot grow in food, but once eaten, they can grow inside a person’s intestines. Can contaminate both food and water. Can be transmitted from person to person, from people to food and food contact surfaces Hepatitis A Virus and Norovirus Instructor Notes Unsafe food is usually the result of contamination, which is the presence of harmful substances in food. Some food safety hazards are caused by people or by the environment. Others can occur naturally. Potential hazards to food safety are divided into three categories—biological, chemical, and physical. Pathogens are the greatest threat to food safety. They include certain viruses, parasites, fungi, and bacteria. Some plants, mushrooms, and seafood that carry harmful toxins (poisons) are also included in this group. Pathogens are responsible for most foodborne-illness outbreaks.

Note: A vaccine for Hepatitis A is available that provides long-term protection. However the vaccine must be given before exposure to the virus. Some states are now requiring school age children to be vaccinated for the Hepatitis A virus. The virus replicates in the liver and is shed in high concentrations in feces from 2 weeks before to 1 week after symptoms appear Infection produces a self-limiting disease that does not result in chronic infection or chronic liver disease. Initial symptoms are followed in several days by jaundice (yellowish tint of skin and eyes). The bad news is that 10%–15% of patients may experience a relapse of symptoms up to six months after becoming infected with the virus.

“Cruise Ship Diarrhea” “Day Care Diarrhea” “Community Wide Diarrhea” Norovirus Instructor Notes The illness is pronounced: NOR-o-VI-rus GAS-tro-EN-ter-I-tiss. The virus is pronounced: NOR-o-VI-rus. Like hepatitis A, Norovirus is commonly linked with ready-to-eat food. It has also been linked with contaminated water. Norovirus is often transferred to food when infected foodhandlers touch food or equipment with fingers that have feces on them. Eating only a small amount of Norovirus can make a person sick. It is also very contagious. People become contagious within a few hours after eating it. The virus is often in a person’s feces for days after symptoms have ended.

Do not grow and multiply in food Spread by hands contaminating food, person consumes food & the viruses grows inside the body Causing numerous cases of foodborne illness Hourly handwashing to be recommended

This person’s clean-looking but unwashed hand is touching a sterile nutrient rich gel. After 24 hours, these large colonies provide visible evidence of the microorganisms that were transferred from the hand to the gel.

The parasite is pronounced: ANN-ih-SAHK-iss SIM-plex. Anisakis simplex is a worm-like parasite found in certain fish and shellfish. An illness can develop when raw or undercooked seafood containing the parasite is eaten. The illness can be either invasive or noninvasive. In its noninvasive form, the person coughs the parasite from the body. In the invasive form, the parasite penetrates the lining of the stomach or small intestine and must be surgically removed.

Preventing Anisakiasis Most Important Prevention Measures Cook fish to required minimum internal temperatures Purchase fish from approved, reputable suppliers If fish will be served raw or undercooked: Purchase sushi-grade fish Ensure sushi-grade fish has been frozen properly by the supplier Instructor Notes To prevent this illness it is critical to cook seafood properly. If seafood will be served raw or undercooked, it is important to purchase it from an approved, reputable supplier.

Sushi Grade pp ?? “Parasite destruction guarantee”, which is accomplished by ‘freezing and storing seafood at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 7 days (total time), or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -31°F (-35°C) or below for 15 hours, or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 24 hours’ which is sufficient to kill parasites.

Fungi (Molds and Yeasts) Require less moisture Can grow in acid pH Very adaptable Grow slower than bacteria Molds – multicellular Form spores that are less resistant than bacterial spores Yeasts bud

Basic Characteristics of Mold Spoils food and sometimes causes illness Grows well in acidic food with low water activity Is not destroyed by freezing Can produce toxins such as aflatoxins Instructor Notes While cooking can destroy mold cells and spores, some toxins can remain. To avoid illness, throw out all moldy food, unless the mold is a natural part of the product (e.g., cheese such as Gorgonzola, Brie, and Camembert). The FDA recommends cutting away any moldy areas in hard cheese—at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) around them.

Basic Characteristics of Yeast Can spoil food rapidly May produce a smell or taste of alcohol as it spoils food May appear as a pink discoloration or slime and may bubble Instructor Notes Carbon dioxide and alcohol are produced as yeast consumes food. Yeast spoilage may therefore produce a smell or taste of alcohol. Yeasts are similar to molds in that they grow well in acidic food with low water activity, such as jellies, jams, syrup, honey, and fruit juice. Food that has been spoiled by yeast should be discarded. Remind participants that the Take It Back section in ServSafe Essentials (page 2-40) can be used to teach important concepts from section 2 to their employees.

Mold (pp 2-24) FDA recommends cutting away moldy areas in hard cheese - at least one inch (2.5 centimeters). Same procedure can be used for salami, firm fruit and vegetables. Instructor Notes While cooking can destroy mold cells and spores, some toxins can remain. To avoid illness, throw out all moldy food, unless the mold is a natural part of the product (e.g., cheese such as Gorgonzola, Brie, and Camembert). The FDA recommends cutting away any moldy areas in hard cheese—at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) around them.

Fungi can infect & grow in various crops, including peanuts & corn, contaminating them with mycotoxins. Production of aflatoxin is a serious concern.
