side WHY SHONA USES GLAD

Shona McKenzie, pictured left,

is co-canteen manager at Manly

West Primary School, on Sydney’s

northern beaches. And as you can

see from the photo, she’s a keen

user of GLAD products like GLAD

Wrap, GLAD Bake, GLAD Foil

and GLAD Go-Between.

Thanks to its premium quality and

performance, GLAD Wrap seals

in food freshness and flavour, so

it’s the ideal choice when you

want to wrap food for longer-term

storage. You can even use it in

the microwave!

Each pack of GLAD Wrap features

an easy-to-remove start of roll

sticker, a wide opening for easy

access and end-of-roll reminder

so you won’t run out. There’s also the traditional blade cutter and Safe-T-Cutter that

reduces risk of injury.

Shona also uses GLAD Bake, which you can use to line baking trays and prevent food

from sticking. It eliminates the need to butter, flour or spray trays and is easy to peel

off. As Shona says, “The cutter on the edge of the box is great – it makes it really easy

for us to line our trays quickly!”

And don’t forget GLAD Foil – available in all-purpose grade ideal for covering pans

and lining trays, as well as heavy duty grade for wrapping bulky goods and oven heat-

ing and cooking – and GLAD Go-Between, freezer film which prevents food from

sticking and makes portion control easier. Just remove and defrost as much or as little

as you need when you need it!

How Shona uses GLAD products:

• GLAD Foil to wrap pre-cooked food for oven reheating

• GLAD Bake to line trays for home-made pizza subs

• GLAD Wrap to wrap

cookies and muffins

• GLAD Go-Between to

freeze pineapple rings

INSIDE BRIEF 4

tailed information on food allergies see our story

on page 10).

Dessirae says HACCP is all about the way we

control risks – and in the case of food, one of the

most important ones is its temperature. “Cold

food has to be kept cold and hot food kept hot,”

she points out. “Another important issue is

personal and equipment hygiene – good hand-

washing, proper cleaning of equipment, not

keeping raw food next to cooked food so as to

prevent risk of cross-contamination, and keep-

ing food preparation areas clean.”

The above might sound obvious, but Dessirae

says that while most people understand basic

hygiene and temperature principles, once you

start talking to them in depth misconceptions

and lack of knowledge become commonplace.

“People know you need to keep food in the

fridge, but they don’t necessarily know how cold

the fridge temperature needs to be,” she uses as

an example.

Another common mistake is to use a detergent

to clean a food preparation surface, but not follow

this up with a sanitiser (chemical to kill bacteria).

How to minimisefood poisoning risksHACCP principles at work tomake your school canteen safer

VIEWPOINT

If you manage or work in a school canteen, you may have seen the acronym “HACCP”used in product brochures, packaging or promotional material. You may even know itstands for Hazard Analysis Critical ControlPoint. But what actually is HACCP, and howare its prin ciples relevant to the managementand safety of school canteens?

To find out, Inside Brief spoke to Dessirae

Luther-Sproule, a food technologist who has

worked for companies like Cerebos and

White Wings and for the past 17 years has been

a consultant to the food industry working on

food safety HACCP systems, product formu -

lation and development, food safety training

and legislation.

“HACCP is a documented risk management

system,” Dessirae explains. “It’s all about iden-

tifying risks within your food safety situation

and finding ways to reduce or eliminate them.

The most obvious one is the risk of microbial

contamination, which causes food-borne illness.

This is potentially dangerous as people can

get very ill or even die. But another risk that’s

very important in the school canteen is that of

allergen cross-contamination – the best-known

danger in this regard is peanuts, and lots of

schools have controls in place for that.” (For de-

VIEWPOINT Continued

“A dishwasher with a good hot rinse cycle will

act as a sanitiser, but otherwise you need a food

grade sanitiser,” Dessirae says. “A lot of people

don’t realise you have to use both.

“Similarly, they don’t understand freezing doesn’t

kill bacteria, so when you thaw frozen food out,

the bacteria will start to grow again.”

This is why it’s so important that oven-cooked

food is heated to the right temperature for the

correct amount of time – to ensure all bacteria is

killed. As Dessirae explains, it’s the inside temper -

ature of the food in the oven that’s important,

not whatever temperature the oven is set to!

She advises that canteen staff should monitor

food temperatures closely: “I know from expe-

rience with my own fridge at home that in the

middle of summer it’s not easy trying to keep it

below 5°C. And frequent opening and closing of

the door will affect the temperature. Of course

that can’t be avoided during busy periods. What’s

essential is to ensure that food stored overnight

in the fridge is kept at the right temperature –

which is 5°C or less. You should check use a

fridge thermometer to check the temperature

the next morning – before you start using the

food – to make sure that ham, cheese and so on

has been kept at that temperature overnight.”

Staff also need to know what to do if the food

has been stored at 10°C instead of 5° – “in this

case you have no choice but to throw it away!”

Dessirae emphasises. “This is a good example

of why it’s important for everyone to under-

stand the rules of food management and what to

do if something goes wrong. Food poisoning

doesn’t happen if everything’s working smoothly

– you only get growth of micro organisms when

there’s been some kind of problem or mistake.

If the pie oven doesn’t get hot enough, for in-

stance, or someone puts yesterday’s leftover

pies back in the oven for a second day.”

While all this sounds a bit scary, Dessirae points

out that most of it comes down to common

sense – “wash your hands, keep things clean. It

sounds very simple but unfortunately not every-

one seems to have that awareness.” To minimise

these risks, Dessirae recommends canteen man-

agers make sure all staff and volunteers are

aware of the appropriate rules and procedures.

“A book stuffed away in a cupboard is useless.

What you need are laminated charts and advice

panels up on the wall. Simple things like remind-

ing people to wash their hands and check food

temperatures – less than 5°C or greater than

60°C is the general rule,” she says. “And have

thermometers available so people can make

sure that is the case.

“You also need to have the correct types of clean-

ing chemicals on hand, and put posters up ex-

plaining the procedure. Signs are great for jogging

the memory – don’t store raw food above cooked

food in the fridge, if you’re cutting raw meat on

the cutting board you need to wash it before cut-

ting something else, always wear gloves. These

sorts of things should be prominently displayed

throughout the work area.”

It’s also important to pay special attention when

you have a new person starting in the canteen –

“induction-style training is very useful here,”

Dessirae says. “Put the new person with an ex-

perienced staffer who can teach them not just

how the canteen operates but also go through

the food safety rules.”

INSIDE BRIEF 10

Whether there are more people with allergies

today, or simply that more people are having

their allergies diagnosed, is open to debate. But

one thing is certain – public awareness of food

allergies and intolerances is much higher than

in the past.

Australia’s Food Standards Code now includes

a ‘nil tolerance’ on cross-contamination from

food allergens, which has prompted food manu-

facturers to go to great lengths on their labelling.

That’s why we see food labels stating ‘May

contain traces of …’ or ‘This product has been

manufactured on equipment also used for the

manufacture of …’ typically followed by a food

to which many people have an allergy.

Penny Dellsperger, a dietitian who works for

The Coeliac Society of NSW, spoke to Inside

Brief about food intolerances and allergies and

the difference between them.

Penny explains: “Coeliac disease is an auto-

immune disorder, which is a different immune

system reaction than is the case with food aller-

gies. Coeliac disease will make you sick but it

won’t kill you. But food allergens may trigger

anaphylaxis – a severe form of allergic reaction

which can be life-threatening. Different people

will have different reactions depending on the

severity of their allergy, but what can happen is

over time they can become more sensitised to

the allergen and eventually develop an anaphy-

lactic reaction.”

The Food Standards Code gives a list of com-

mon allergens and intolerances – cereals contain-

ing gluten and their products, namely, wheat,

rye, barley oats and spelt, crustacea (shellfish)

and their products, egg and fish products, milk,

peanuts and soybeans, added sulphites and tree

nuts and sesame seeds. The most common ones

affecting children are gluten, egg, peanuts and

other nuts, and milk.

In the case of both food intolerances and aller-

gies, early diagnosis is clearly important – then

the issue becomes how to manage the problem,

via diet.

“What’s important for canteen staff is to under-

stand if something does contain an allergen,”

Penny explains. “People with coeliac disease

are taught to ask whether there’s gluten in the

food they want, but that means the person they’re

asking needs to know the answer!

“Therefore, it’s important to read labels and be

able to identify the presence of food allergens

in products.”

Organisations such as The Coeliac Society of

Australia and Anaphylaxis Australia have infor-

mation and literature available for canteens and

schools to help them cater for children with food

intolerances and allergies. And many school

canteens have removed common allergens such

as peanuts and eggs altogether – the risk of

cross-contamination from food preparation

areas has been judged too great.

“There’s lots of background information avail-

able, and once you’re informed, it’s really a

question of tailoring your food to the needs of

the children at your school,” Penny says.

“When the parents of children with food aller-

gies or intolerances get involved with the school

canteen, it helps a lot in raising awareness and

educating the staff.”

INSIGHT

Penny’s primary focus is naturally coeliac disease,

a lifelong intolerance to dietary gluten which

affects one per cent of our population – but only

25 per cent of those who have it are currently

diagnosed. Gluten is a protein found in wheat,

rye, barely and oats as well as ingredients derived

from those grains. This means people with coeliac

disease must avoid these foods or suffer unpleas-

ant consequences similar to food poisoning.

“A lot of the time coeliac disease develops in

childhood, and we are concerned that many

kids have it and it’s not being picked up,” Penny

says. “In most cases it develops by the age of

10, but the average age of diagnosis is 40, so we

know it generally develops a lot earlier than diag-

nosed. Symptoms may be headaches, bloating,

diarrhea, tiredness, lethargy and concentration

difficulties. But these symptoms can be caused

by lots of other things too, so the child needs to

see a doctor for correct diagnosis.”
