Providing Safe Food
Objectives:
1-2
Recognize the importance of food safety
Understand how food becomes unsafe
Identify TCS food
Recognize the risk factors for foodborne illness
Understand important prevention measures for
keeping food safe
Challenges to Food Safety
A foodborne illness is a disease transmitted
to people through food.
An illness is considered a foodborne-illness
outbreak when:
1-3
Two or more people have the same symptoms
after eating the same food
An investigation is conducted by state and local
regulatory authorities
The outbreak is confirmed by laboratory analysis
Challenges to Food Safety
Challenges include:
1-4
Time and money
Language and culture
Literacy and education
Pathogens
Unapproved suppliers
High-risk customers
Staff turnover
Costs of Foodborne Illness
Costs of a foodborne illness to an operation:
1-5
Loss of customers and sales
Loss of reputation
Negative media exposure
Lowered staff morale
Costs of Foodborne Illness
Costs of a foodborne illness to an operation:
1-6
Lawsuits and legal fees
Staff missing work
Increased insurance premiums
Staff retraining
How Foodborne Illnesses Occur
Unsafe food is the result of contamination:
Biological
Chemical
Physical
Contamination is the presence of harmful
substances in food.
1-7
Contaminants
Biological contaminants:
1-8
Bacteria
Viruses
Parasites
Fungi
Contaminants
Chemical contaminants:
1-9
Cleaners
Sanitizers
Polishes
Contaminants
Physical hazards:
1-10
Metal shavings
Staples
Bandages
Glass
Dirt
Natural objects (e.g., fish bones in a fillet)
How Food Becomes Unsafe
Five risk factors for foodborne illness:
1. Purchasing food from unsafe sources
2. Failing to cook food correctly
3. Holding food at incorrect temperatures
4. Using contaminated equipment
5. Practicing poor personal hygiene
1-11
How Food Becomes Unsafe
1-12
Time-temperature abuse
Cross-contamination
Poor personal hygiene
Poor cleaning and sanitizing
How Food Becomes Unsafe
Time-temperature abuse:
1-13
When food has stayed too long at
temperatures good for pathogen growth
How Food Becomes Unsafe
Food has been time-temperature
abused when:
1-14
It has not been held or stored at
correct temperatures
It is not cooked or reheated enough
to kill pathogens
It is not cooled correctly

Pg 1.5 SSF 6e
How Food Becomes Unsafe
Cross-contamination:
When pathogens are transferred from one
surface or food to another
Pg 1.5 SSF 6e
1-15
How Food Becomes Unsafe
Cross-contamination can cause a
foodborne illness when:
1-16
Contaminated ingredients are added to
food that receives no further cooking
Ready-to-eat food touches contaminated
surfaces
A food handler touches contaminated
food and then touches ready-to-eat food
Contaminated cleaning cloths touch
food-contact surfaces
Pg 1.5 SSF 6e
How Food Becomes Unsafe
Poor personal hygiene can cause a
foodborne illness when food handlers:
1-17
Fail to wash their hands correctly after using
the restroom
Cough or sneeze on food
Touch or scratch wounds and then touch food
Work while sick
Pg 1.5 SSF 6e
How Food Becomes Unsafe
Poor cleaning and sanitizing:
1-18
Equipment and utensils are not washed, rinsed,
and sanitized between uses
Food contact surfaces are wiped clean instead
of being washed rinsed, and sanitized
Wiping cloths are not stored in a sanitizer
solution between uses
Sanitizer solution was not prepared correctly
Pg 1.5 SSF 6e
Food Most Likely to Become Unsafe
TCS food: Food requiring time and temperature control for safety
1-19
Food Most Likely to Become Unsafe
TCS food:
1-20
Ready-to-Eat Food
Ready-to-eat food is food that can be eaten without further:
Preparation
Washing
Cooking
Ready-to-eat food includes:
1-21
Cooked food
Washed fruit and vegetables
Deli meat
Bakery items
Sugar, spices, and seasonings
Populations at High Risk for Foodborne Illnesses
These people have a higher risk of getting
a foodborne illness:
1-22
Elderly people- immune systems weaken with
age
Preschool-age children- have not built up
strong immune systems
People with compromised immune systems –
due to illness such as AIDS, cancer etc.
These are all known as High-risk
populations.
The immune system is the body’s defense
system against illness.
Keeping Food Safe
Focus on these measures:
1-23
Controlling time and temperature
Preventing cross-contamination
Practicing personal hygiene
Purchasing from approved, reputable suppliers
Cleaning and sanitizing
Keeping Food Safe
Training and monitoring:
1-24
Train staff to follow food safety procedures
Provide initial and ongoing training
Provide all staff with general food
safety knowledge
Provide job specific food safety training
Retrain staff regularly
Monitor staff to make sure they are following
procedures
Document training
Keeping Food Safe
Government agencies:
1-25
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – regulates food
transported across state lines
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)- considers inspecting
food as one of its primary responsibilities. Inspects &
regulates meat, poultry, & eggs
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – Conducts
research and investigates foodborne illness outbreaks
U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) – research and assistance
State and local regulatory authorities –writes or adopts code that
regulates retail and foodservice operations
Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)
Federal and state governments help to protect the public’s healthy
by ensuring the safety of the nation’s food supply.
On January 4, 2011, President Obama signed the Food Safety
Modernization Act into law.
The goal of this act is to ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply
by shifting the focus from responding to contamination to
preventing contamination.
The legislation has many aspects, ranging from food defense to
import rules to inspection and hazard analysis improvements.
This legislation is the biggest food safety reform in 70 years.
