Major Food Safety HazardsBe Careful People

Biological Bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi

Chemical Cleaners, pesticides, toxic metals

Physical Natural and foreign objects

BiologicalBACTERIA Can be transferred through food, water,

soil, and humans Once bacteria reproduce, they can lead

to foodborne illnesses SO how do you prevent the growth of

bacteria??

Controlling BacteriaF- Food- Proteins and carbohydratesA- Acidity- grow in slightly acidic food or neutralT- Time- 2 or more hours in the temperature danger zone can cause a foodborne illness

T- Temperature- grow fastest between 40° F- 140° FO- Oxygen- Most need oxygen to growM- Moisture- Grow fastest in high moisture content

Ways to prevent foodborne illness1

Purchase food from safe sources Cook food to required temperatures Store food at correct temperatures Do not contaminate equipment Wash your hands / glove use

Cross-Contamination When potentially contaminated, raw foods

come in contact with “ready to eat” foods EX: Cutting raw chicken with same knife you

cut bread Any other examples? Preventing Cross contamination

Wash hands Clean surfaces and utensils between use Do not allow raw foods to touch “ready to eat

foods”

Physical Hazards Accidental foreign objects in food:

Metal shavings Bandages Fingernails Hair Glass

Natural objects: Bones Egg shells Stones

What do you think poses the greatest risk to food safety??

Free of visible dirt

Sanitary

SAFE, not harmful levels of a microorganism

Can anyone think of an example of your hands being Sanitary but NOT Clean??

Types of Sanitation

Heat Sanitizing1 171°F for 30 seconds

Chemical Sanitizing1 Chlorine Iodine Quaternary Ammonium
