FDA Food Safety Modernization Act

FDA Food Safety Modernization Act • • • Key points: - The FDA would have the authority to issue direct recalls of foods that are suspected to be tainted, rather than relying on individual producers to voluntarily issue recalls. - Food producers would be required to develop written food safety plans, accessible by the government in case of emergency. These would include hazard analysis and a plan for implementing corrective measures. - The Secretary of Health and Human Services would be required to create a food tracing system that would streamline the process of finding the source of contamination, should an outbreak occur. - Importers would be required to verify the safety of all imported foods to make sure it's in accordance with U. S. food safety guidelines. – www. cnn. com

Biological (invisible) Hazards Bacteria prefer foods that are high in proteins or high in carbohydrates. Bacteria Parasites are small or microscopic creatures that need to live on or in another living organism to survive. Yeasts Protozoa Carbon dioxide and alcohol are produced as yeast slowly consumes food. Molds Viruses are smaller than bacteria and require a living host in which to grow and reproduce. Viruses Grow under almost any condition, but grow well in acidic foods with low water activity. Microbiolo gical

Bacteria Bacillus cereus is commonly found in: ¡ Rice ¡ Pasta ¡ Potatoes ¡ Meats and fish ¡ Milk ¡ Vegetables. Bacillus cereus can be found in cooked rice.

Bacteria Clostridium botulinum can commonly be found in: ¡Home-canned foods ¡Vacuum-packed refrigerated foods ¡Garlic or onions stored in oil. Improperly vacuumpacked foods may contain Clostridium botulinum.

Bacteria Campylobacter jejuni Cross contamination is the major cause of Campylobacter jejuni. It is estimated that 100% of all raw poultry is infected with Campylobacter jejuni.

Bacteria Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli is best controlled by: ¡Cooking ground meats to at least 155 o. F (68 o. C) ¡Storing foods at proper temperatures Raw or undercooked ¡Practicing proper personal ground beef has been hygiene and avoiding cross known to contain Shiga toxin-producing contamination e-coli. ¡Using only pasteurized apple cider, fruit juices, and milk.

Bacteria Listeria monocytogenes is commonly found in: ¡Raw meats ¡Raw poultry ¡Dairy products ¡Raw vegetables ¡Raw seafood ¡Hot dogs and luncheon meats. Hot dogs may contain Listeria monocytogenes.

Bacteria Salmonella spp. is commonly found in: ¡Intestinal tracts of humans and animals ¡Raw meat and raw poultry ¡Pork ¡Dairy products ¡Chocolate ¡Cream-filled desserts. Eggs are a common source of Salmonella spp.

Bacteria Staphylococcus aureus can be commonly found in: ¡Pre-cooked, ready-to-eat foods that have been recontaminated by food workers ¡Foods that require considerable food preparation and handling ¡Vegetable and egg salads. Pre-cooked, ready-to-eat food

Bacteria Vibrio spp. is commonly found in seafood such as: ¡Fish ¡Oysters ¡Crabs ¡Shrimp ¡Clams ¡Lobster. Handle seafood carefully.

Viruses Hepatitis A virus can be transferred by: ¡Contaminated or polluted water ¡Infected food workers.

Viruses Norwalk Virus Norwalk virus is commonly found in raw and undercooked seafood. Eating raw or undercooked clams or oysters poses a high risk for infection.

Parasites Giardia duodenalis Parasites are small or microscopic creatures that need to live on or in another living organism to survive. Giardia duodenalis

Parasites Anisakis spp. is commonly found in bottom-feeding fish such as: ¡Salmon ¡Cod ¡Haddock ¡Crab Salmon fillet ¡Shrimp.

Parasites Cyclospora cayetanensis is commonly found in: ¡Contaminated water ¡Raspberries ¡Strawberries ¡Fresh produce.

Parasites Trichinella spiralis is commonly found in: ¡Pork ¡Wild game meats. Wild boar

Mold Basic Characteristics • Spoil food and sometimes cause illness • Grow under almost any condition, but grow well in acidic foods with low water activity. • Freezing temperatures prevent or reduce the growth of molds, but do not destroy them

Yeasts Grow well in • • • Jellies Jams Syrup Honey Fruit Juice Food should be discarded if spoiled by yeast!

The Five (5) Risk Factors • Purchasing food from unsafe sources • Failing to cook food adequately • Holding food at improper temperatures • Using contaminated equipment • Poor personal hygiene

7 Principles HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) 1. Identify Potential Hazards 2. Identify the Critical Control Points 3. Set Limits for your Critical Control Points 4. Monitor the Critical Control Points 5. Design Procedures for Corrective Action 6. Design a Verification Process 7. Design and use a Record Keeping System
