New Era of Smarter Food Safety

One of the priorities in the New Era of Smarter Food Safety is fostering, supporting, and strengthening food safety culture on farms, in food facilities, and in homes. We will not make dramatic improvements in reducing the burden of foodborne disease without doing more to influence and change human behavior, including in the family kitchen.

To support consumers, FDA offers resources on safe food handling . When you prepare meals and snacks for yourself, your family, and your friends, it is important to follow these food safety tips to help prevent foodborne illness. Learn the do’s and don’ts of food-safe meal prep and start putting them into practice to protect you and your family, especially if someone in your household has an increased risk of foodborne illness.

FDA has been working for years with the Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE) to promote safe food handling tips for consumers. In a blog earlier this year marking PFSE’s 25th anniversary, Deputy Commissioner for Food Policy and Response Frank Yiannas wrote, “While consumers should expect that food producers have done all that they can to provide them with safe food, consumers play a role too when preparing and handling food at home.

"And, after all, we’re all consumers. We all have a responsibility to observe safe food handling and storage practices at home, to help protect ourselves and our families from harmful microbes that can contaminate food.”

Areas of Discussion • Foodborne illness • Food contamination • Personal hygiene • Preparing, cooking, and serving foods • Receiving and storing foods • Cleaning and sanitizing

Foodborne Illness

Microorganisms • The major cause of a foodborne illness • You cannot feel, see, or taste • Very quick to multiply in potentially hazardous foods • Most of the foods we eat contain one or more type of microorganism

Milk, milk products Shelled eggs Sprouts, raw seeds Melons Soy-protein foods Corn, rice, potatoes, peas Fish Shellfish Meat—beef, pork, lamb Poultry Cooked rice, beans, other heat-treated plant foods Potentially Hazardous Foods Foods capable of supporting the rapid and progressive growth of harmful microorganisms:

Types of Microorganisms • Bacteria • Virus • Parasite • Fungus • Two groups of food contaminates: • Pathogen (cannot see, smell, or taste) • Spoilage (can see, smell, or taste)

How Do Microorganisms Grow? FAT TOM • Food (potentially hazardous foods) • Acid (pH slightly acidic or neutral) • Temperature (danger zone: 41˚F135˚F) • Time (less than 4 hours) • Oxygen (presence of) • Moisture (water helps growth)

Foodborne Illness • Caused by bacteria: • — Salmonellosis • — Shigellosis • — Vibrio gastroenteritis • — Hemorrhagic colitis • — Staphylococcal gastroenteritis • — Botulism • Caused by virus: • — Hepatitis A

Restrictions From Work • If you or a worker is experiencing: • Sore throat • Runny nose • Diarrhea • Fever • Vomiting • BEST PRACTICE IS TO GO HOME

Food Contamination

Cross Contamination • A food service worker handling the food contact area of a plate or glass • An employee preparing cooked food where raw food was without properly cleaning and sanitizing the area first

Types of Hazardous Substances • Physical: • Hair, bandages, dirt, metal items, and fingernails • Biological: • Bacteria, viruses, parasites, and toxins • Chemical: • Cleaning products, toxic metal residue, and pesticides

Ways Food Can Become Contaminated • Poor personal hygiene: • Leading cause of foodborne illnesses • Improper hand washing • Dirty work clothes • Temperature and time abuse: • 41˚F135˚F is the danger zone • No more than 4 hours in the danger zone • Cleaning and sanitizing

Personal Hygiene

Basics of Good Hygiene • Good personal grooming • Clean clothes • Proper use of aprons • Hair restraints • No jewelry • Trimmed and clean fingernails

Proper Hand Washing • Rinse hands in warm water (about 105˚F) • Apply hand soap • Scrub hands and exposed arms for 20 seconds—do not forget between fingers and under rings • Rinse hands • Use a single-serve towel or air dryer • Apply hand sanitizer (optional)

Proper Hand Washing (cont’d) • Never wash your hands in a prep sink or dish-washing sink • Wash hands in a designated hand-washing station • Do not substitute hand sanitizer for proper hand washing, but you can use hand sanitizer after hand washing

When to Wash Hands • After using the bathroom • After touching bare body parts • After coughing, sneezing, or using tissues • After eating, drinking, or smoking • After handling soiled equipment or utensils • After food preparation • After clearing table or dishes • After removing or disposing of trash

Proper Use of Gloves • Gloves can contaminate as well; do not rely on gloves to feel you are safe • Change gloves: • After completing a task and beginning a new task • If they become dirty • After handing raw meat, poultry, or fish • Before handling ready-to-eat or cooked food

Proper Care of Cuts, Burns, Sores, Infections • Report to supervisor • Cover with a clean, dry bandage • May need reassigned to nonfood contact duties • Wash each time you put on a new bandage

Preparing, Cooking, and Serving Foods

Four Methods of Thawing Foods • In refrigerator at 41˚F or lower, and on the bottom shelf and in a container that will hold thawing liquid • Under potable (drinking) running water that is 70˚F or lower • In the microwave, if cooking food immediately • During the regular cooking process

Temperature Danger Zone • 41˚F135˚F* • Must either cook or store below 41˚F within 4 hours *Some states require 140˚F. Check with your local health department.

Temperature Danger Zone (cont’d) • Cold foods: 41˚F or lower • Hot foods*: 135˚F or higher *Some states require 140˚F for hot holding. Check with your local health department.

Proper Minimum Internal Cooking Temperature • Poultry: 165˚F for 15 seconds • Ground meats: 155˚F for 15 seconds • Pork and beef (steak or chops): 145˚F for 15 seconds • Fish: 145˚F for 15 seconds • Reheat all food to an internal temperature of 165˚F

Serving Food Properly • Hold plates by the bottom or at the edge: • Never touch the food-contact surface • Hold cups by bottom or handle: • Never put fingers on the rim of the glass • Never put fingers inside the glass • Hold silverware by the handle: • Never touch the food-contact surface

Serving Food Properly (cont’d) • Use long-handled utensils, such as tongs or scoops, for one food only • Never allow your hands to come in contact with the food • Scoop ice with proper utensil, not a cup

Cooling Foods • Two-stage method of cooling: • Stage 1: Cool food from 135˚F to 70˚F within 2 hours • Stage 2: Cool food from 70˚F to 41˚F within 4 hours • Methods to cool food: • Ice bath • Divide food in shallow pans, then refrigerate • Blast chiller

Receiving and Storing Foods

Accepting and Rejecting Food Delivery • Use the senses (smell, sight, and touch) when inspecting a food delivery • Reject food when you notice: • Signs of pests • Ice crystals in box or package of food • Torn, broken, or damaged boxes, packages, or cans • Expiration/use-by date has passed • Dry foods are damp

Receiving Temperature of Foods • Meat: 41˚F or lower • Poultry: 41˚F or lower • Fish: 41˚F or lower • Eggs: Air temperature of 45˚F or lower • Dairy products: 41˚F or lower • Shellfish: 45˚F or lower and alive • Packaged food: 41˚F or lower • Produce: No temperature requirements

Proper Use of a Thermometer • Clean and sanitize stem of thermometer prior to each use with alcohol • Insert thermometer into the thickest part of the food • Do not allow thermometer to touch the base of the pan

Proper Use of a Thermometer (cont’d) • Wait a minimum of 15 seconds after the needle stops moving to take the temperature reading • Wipe thermometer stem in between foods

Calibration of a Bimetallic-Stemmed Thermometer • Fill a container with ice and add drinkable water • Place thermometer stem into ice water making sure it is submerged • Allow 30 seconds from the time the needle stops moving

Calibration of a Bimetallic-Stemmed Thermometer (cont’d) • Locate adjusting nut and hold securely • Rotate until needle reads 32˚F (do not remove thermometer from water while adjusting)

Storage of Food • FIFO—first in, first out • Store foods in original packaging, whenever possible • Clearly label all foods with date

Storage of Food (cont’d) • Do not overload shelves or store food on floors or against walls • Store all foods a minimum of 6ˮ above the floor on clean shelves or racks • Store food only in protected areas, never in restrooms or utility rooms

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Definitions • Cleaning: Involves the removal of food, residues, dirt, and grease • Sanitizing: Reduces harmful microorganisms to a level that is safe through the use of a chemical-sanitizing solution

Use a Three-Step Process • Clean • Rinse • Sanitize

Cleaning • Use cleaning agents that remove food, soil, and stains • Examples: Rinsing dishes, sweeping the floor, and removing dust from overhead vents • Clean entire kitchen on a regular basis

Sanitizing • Use high heat or chemical sanitizers • Must sanitize anything that comes in contact with food • Sanitize all dishes, pots and pans, utensils, knives, and worktables after each use or every 4 hours • Clean and sanitize knives and utensils when moving from one food item to another

Dish Machine • Use manufacturer’s instruction for heat and/or chemical sanitizing • Have test strips available to assure proper concentration of sanitizer, if using chemical sanitizing • Keep temperature logs of dishwasher temperatures at each shift

Pot Sink • Use chemical sanitizers according to manufacturer’s instructions • Keep test strips available to test for proper concentration, if using chemical sanitizer • Keep temperature logs available and record each shift

Sanitizing Work Surfaces • Use facility-approved sanitizing solution in spray bottles • Have test strips available to test sanitizer concentration • Use clean clothes when sanitizing • Sanitize prep sinks after each use

Preventing Foodborne Illness • Purchase, store, and prepare food carefully • Have thermometers available; keep them calibrated and use them • Practice good personal hygiene • Clean and sanitize regularly

10 Tips to Organize the Perfect Picnic

Plan the perfect spring picnic with a focus on food safety, preparation, and presentation. Choose a shaded spot, prepare dishes in advance, and use seasonal ingredients. Pack efficiently, offer a variety of condiments, and include refreshing drinks and easy-to-serve desserts. Don’t forget a cleanup plan for a hassle-free day. Enjoy a gourmet outdoor meal that celebrates the season.

As springtime breathes life back into our surroundings, days stretch longer, air turns warmer, and nature bursts into vibrant colors, there's hardly a better way to celebrate than by organizing a picnic . A perfect picnic allows you to enjoy the delightful outdoor air and bask in the serene beauty of nature. Here are ten essential tips to ensure your picnic is unforgettable, from the planning stages to the moment you pack up your blanket.

1. Selecting the Right Spot for Food Safety

Choose a picnic location that supports keeping your food safe and fresh. Opt for spots with some shaded areas to protect perishable items from direct sunlight. Parks with covered picnic tables are ideal, as they provide a stable setting for food presentation and help maintain optimal food temperature.

2. Timing Your Food Preparation

Prepare foods that can be made in advance without losing freshness. Baking savory quiches or assembling sandwiches the night before means less stress on the day. Foods like cold roasted chicken or marinated vegetables enhance in flavor overnight, making them perfect picnic candidates.

3. Packing Food Efficiently

Use sturdy, airtight containers to transport food. Separate ingredients that might sog up or wilt, such as keeping dressings and salads apart until ready to serve. Insulated coolers are essential for items that need to stay chilled, like dips, cheeses, or desserts like cheesecake bars .

4. Choosing a Menu That Travels Well

Focus on foods that are not only tasty but also easy to transport . Pasta salads , grain bowls with quinoa or farro, and hearty wraps packed with greens and proteins are great options. Foods like these maintain their texture and flavor even after a few hours in a picnic basket.

5. Incorporating Fresh, Seasonal Ingredients

Take advantage of spring’s bounty. Fresh strawberries can add a burst of flavor to a simple spinach and goat cheese salad , while asparagus can be grilled ahead and added to a frittata . Seasonal produce not only tastes better but also connects your picnic with the landscape around you.

6. Preparing Simple, Yet Sophisticated Snacks

Elevate your picnic with gourmet snacks that are simple to prepare. Offer a charcuterie board with a variety of cured meats, artisan cheeses, and homemade chutneys. Add olives, nuts, and dried fruits to complement the flavors. These can be pre-assembled and wrapped for easy serving.

7. Keeping Hydration Flavorful and Fun

Prepare refreshing drinks like homemade lemonade , iced tea , or fruit-infused waters. Pack them in large, sealed dispensers or individual bottles to keep them cool and convenient. Alcohol options could include light wines or a premixed batch of sangria adorned with slices of citrus and berries.

8. Offering a Variety of Condiments and Toppings

A selection of condiments can transform a simple picnic into a custom meal experience. Pack small jars of mustards, mayo , vinaigrette, and homemade salsa . Allow guests to dress their sandwiches, salads, or grilled items according to their tastes.

9. Planning a Sweet Finish

Choose desserts that are easy to serve and eat . Hand pies, cookies , and lemon bars are excellent as they don't require additional utensils. For a refreshing option, pack a fruit compote or a colorful fruit tart that showcases the season's best.

10. Ensuring Easy Cleanup

Make the post-picnic cleanup as hassle-free as possible. Bring extra bags for trash and recycling, and pack a few damp dishcloths in a ziplock bag for wiping down surfaces and hands. Using reusable dishes and cutlery not only makes your picnic more sustainable but also more enjoyable.
