A “tiny taste” may not protect you
As few as 10 bacteria could cause some foodborne illnesses!

Why gamble with your health? Why gamble with your health?
It takes about1/2 hour to 6 weeks to become ill from unsafe foods.
You may become sick later even if you feel OK after eating.
24
Why risk others people’s health? Some people have a greater risk for foodborne illnesses.

The 10 most common causes of infection
30
Handwashing is the most effectiveway to stop the spread of illness.
5 handwashing steps to follow ...
31
Wet hands with WARM water.
32
Soap and scrub for 20 seconds.
33
Rinse under clean, running water.
34
Dry completely using a clean cloth or paper towel.
35
Turn off water with paper towel.
36
Wash hands after …
37
Handling pets
38
Using the bathroom or changing diapers
39
Sneezing, blowing nose, and coughing
40
Touching a cut or open sore
41
Before AND after eating and handling food
42
CLEAN during food preparation
Wash cutting boards, knives, utensils, and countertops in hot soapy water after preparing each food and before going on to the next.
43
Avoid spreading bacteria Use paper
towels or clean cloths to wipeup kitchen surfacesor spills.
Wash cloths often in the hot cycle of your washing machine and dry in a hot dryer.
44
Dirty dishcloths spread bacteriaDirty dishcloths spread bacteria
Wet or damp dishcloths are ideal environments for bacterial growth.
Have a good supplyof dishcloths to avoid reusing them before laundry day.
We like warmth, moisture, and any
food particles remaining in a
dish cloth!
45
There are more germs in the average kitchen than the bathroom. Sponges and dishcloths are the worst offenders.
~research by Dr. Charles Gerba
46
Key recommendation 2: SEPARATEKey recommendation 2: SEPARATE
47
Use different cutting boards
Use one cutting board for raw meat, poultry, and seafood …
… and a separate one for fresh produce.
48
Replace cutting boards if theybecome excessively worn or develop hard-to-clean grooves.
When groovy isn’t a good thing
49
Use clean plates
NEVER serve foods on a plate that previously held raw meat, poultry, or seafood unless the plate has first been washed in hot, soapy water.
50
Key recommendation 3: COOKKey recommendation 3: COOK
51
Cook chicken and turkey (both whole birds and poultry parts, such as wings, breasts, legs, and thighs, etc.) to 165°F.
52
Cook pork, egg dishes, hamburger, and ground meats to 160°F. Cook ground poultry to 165°F.
53
Cook beef, lamb, and veal steaks androasts to 160°F for medium doneness (145°F for medium rare).
54
Reheat leftovers until a temperature of165°F is reached throughout the food.
55
Scrambled, poached, fried, and hard-cooked eggs are safe when cooked so both yolks and whites are firm, not runny.

This IS a safely cooked hamburger
(internal temperature of 160ºF) even though pink inside.
This is NOT a safely cooked hamburger. Though brown inside, it is undercooked.
59
1 out of 4 hamburgers turns brown before it has been cooked to a safe internal temperature.

60
Research shows some ground beef patties look done at internal temperaturesas low as 135ºF. A temperature of 160ºF is needed to destroy E. coli.

How to use a food thermometer1. Wash thermometer
with hot soapy water before and after use.
2. Use before the food is expected to be “done.”
3. Place in the thickestpart of the food, not touching bone, fat, or gristle.
4. Compare reading to USDA recommended safe minimum internal temperatures.
69
Dial thermometers & thin foods
On an “instant-read” dial thermometer, the probe must be inserted in the side of the food so the entire sensing area (usually 2-3 inches) is positioned through the center of the food.
70
Digital thermometers & thin foods
When possible, use a digital thermometer to measure the temperature of a thin food. The sensing area is only ½- to 1-inch long and easier to place in the center of the food.

Though food may be safe after cooking, it may not be safe later.
Just one bacteria in the food can double in 20 minutes!

Cool food in shallow containers
84
How to be cool – part 1
Using a shallow container, limitdepth of food to two inches or less.
Place very hot foods on a rack at room temperature for about 20minutes before refrigeration.
85
How to be cool – part 2
Leave container cover slightly cracked until the food has
cooled.
It’s OK to refrigerate foods while they’re still warm.
86
Recommended refrigerator & freezer temperatures
Set refrigerator at 40°F or below.
Set freezer at 0°F.
87
Monitor refrigerator and freezer temperatures
Place thermometer in an easy-to-read location. Check temperature regularly – at least weekly.
88
The THAW LAW
Plan ahead to defrost foods.
The best way to thaw perishable foods is in the refrigerator.
89
When to leave your leftovers
Refrigerated leftovers may become unsafe within 3 to 4 days.
If in doubt, toss it out!

Fruits & Vegetables
95
5 steps for cleaning fruits & veggies ...
96
1.Remove and discard outerleaves.
97
2. Rinse under clean, running water just before preparing or eating. Don’t use soap or detergent as it can get into produce and make you sick.
98
Wash fruits with peels, such as melons and citrus fruits. Even if peel is removed, bacteria can transfer from the outside to the inside.
99
3.Rub briskly — scrubbing with a clean brush or hands — to clean the surface.
100
4. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Moisture left on fruits and vegetables helps bacteria grow. Dry them if you won’t eat or cook them right away.
101
5. Cut away bruised and damagedareas.
102
Cover and refrigerate cut/peeled fruits and vegetables.
TOSS cut/peeled fresh produce if left at room temperature longer than TWO hours.
103
Separate fruits & vegetables from other foods
Separate fruits & vegetables from other foods
Keep fruits and vegetables separate from raw meat, poultry and seafood while shopping, preparing,or storing them.
104
Read labels Read labels on
bagged produce to determine if it is ready-to-eat.
Ready-to-eat, prewashed, bagged produce can be used without further washing if kept refrigerated and used by the “use-by” date.
105
Dairy ProductsDairy Products
106
Dairy do’s and don’ts
Avoid raw (unpasteurized) milk or milk products such as some soft cheeses.
Refrigerate dairy foods promptly. Discard dairy foods left at room temperature for more than two hours – even if theylook and smell good. Do NOT drink milk
directly from the carton.Do NOT drink milk
directly from the carton.
107
Meat & BeansMeat & Beans
108
Avoid washing raw meat & poultryAvoid washing raw meat & poultry
Do NOT wash raw meatand poultry. Washingis not necessary.
Washing increases the dangerof cross-contamination, spreading bacteria present on the surface of meat and poultry to ready-to-eat foods, kitchen utensils, and counter surfaces.
109
Refrigerator storage
Store raw meat, poultry and seafood on thebottom shelf of the refrigerator so juices don’tdrip onto other foods.

Signs of safely cooked seafood ..
111
Fin fish
Slip point of sharp knife into flesh; pull aside.
Edges should be opaque, the center slightly translucent with flakes beginning to separate.
Let stand 3 to 4 minutes to finish cooking.

Toss those thatstay closed.

Mercury and fish
These groups should avoid some types of fish and eat types lower in mercury:Pregnant women and those who may
become pregnantNursing mothersYoung children
116
EPA and FDA advice for vulnerable groups Don’t eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish.
Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) weekly of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
5 most commonly eaten fish low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, catfish.
Albacore (“white”) tuna has more mercury than canned light tuna. Limit intake to 6 ounces (one average meal) per week.
Check local advisories about safety of fish caught locally. If no advice is available, eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) weekly of fish caught from local waters, but don't consume any other fish that week.
Follow these same recommendations when feeding fish and shellfish to your young child, but serve smaller portions.

117
Listeriosis, deli meats, and frankfurters
Pregnant women, older adults, and the immunocompromised should only eat deli meats and frankfurters that have been reheated to steaming hot to avoid the risk of listeriosis.
