Food Safety Terms
Bacteria
• Tiny one-celled micro-organisms found
everywhere in the environment, also referred to as microbes.
• Some microbes are safe and can be eaten in the form of food
(examples are cheese and yogurt), but others are harmful and
need to be avoided because they can lead to food-borne illness.
Food-borne Illness
• Illness caused by eating contaminated food, the source of which
is bacteria, viruses or parasites.
Cross-Contamination
• The transfer of harmful bacteria from one food source to another,
or transferred to food from another source such as hands.

Food-borne Illness
According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control):
•
It is estimated that 76 million cases of food-borne illness occur
each year in the United States.
•
1 out of 4 Americans become infected with some form of
food-borne illness each year.
•
About 5,000 people die each year from food-borne illness.
Some common types of food-borne illness include:
•
Campylobacteriosis
•
Salmonella
•
E. Coli
•
Norwalk & Norwalk like virus
•
Listeriosis
•
Clostridium Botulinum (poisoning)
Symptoms generally appear within 2-72 hours and
usually include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Campylobacteriosis
Most common bacterial cause of diarrhea in the U.S. — occurring
more frequently in the summer months than in the winter.
Found in:
• Undercooked poultry, unpasteurized (raw) milk, surface water
and mountain streams.
Symptoms:
• Diarrhea (could be bloody), cramping,
abdominal pain, and sometimes nausea,
vomiting and/or fever within 2-5 days
after exposure.

Clostridium Botulinum
Poisoning
Prevention:
• Do not eat food that is in a leaking,
bulging, or damaged can.
• Do not eat food that is in a cracked
jar or in a jar with a bulging lid.
• Follow strict procedures when home-canning foods. When
eating home-canned foods consider boiling food for 10 minutes
before eating.

12

Conditions for Bacterial Growth
Food
• Bacteria need food to grow and multiply rapidly. They
prefer high-protein foods like meat, eggs, dairy products,
cooked vegetables, such as beans, and cooked grains, such
as rice.
Water
• We can control bacterial growth by controlling water
available. Some foods are dehydrated like cereal.
Temperature
• Bacteria rapidly multiply when between 40 to 140 degrees
Fahrenheit. This is known as the DANGER ZONE.
• Freezing and refrigerating will stop or slow growth, but it
will not kill bacteria.
Time
13
• With favorable conditions, bacteria can double every
20 minutes.
• Risky foods left at room temperature for 2 hours or more are
unsafe to eat and should be discarded.

5 Steps to Food Safety
To fight bacteria that cause food-borne illness,
follow these five steps to food safety.
1. Cook
– Cook meat, poultry & eggs thoroughly.
2. Separate
– Don’t cross-contaminate.
3. Chill
– Cook to proper temperatures.
4. Clean
– Wash produce, hands & surfaces.
5. Avoid
– Avoid foods from unsafe sources.
14

Cook
Cooking food safely is a matter of degrees!
Foods are properly cooked when they’re heated for a long enough time
and at a high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria.
Ground Beef
•
•
Cook to a safe internal temperature of 160° F.
Meat should no longer be pink.
Meat & Poultry
•
Cook until juices run clear.
– Roasts & steaks at least 145° F.
– Poultry 170° to 180° F.
Eggs
•
•
Cook until the yolk and whites are firm.
Use only pasteurized eggs in recipes in which eggs
remain raw or partially cooked.
Seafood
•
Cook fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Leftovers
•
•
15
Reheat to an internal temperature of 165° F.
Bring sauces, soups and gravies to a boil.

Separate
Combat Cross-Contamination!
• Safely separate raw meat and seafood from other foods in your
shopping cart and your refrigerator.
• Always wash hands, cutting boards, dishes and utensils after they
come in contact with raw meat, poultry, eggs and unwashed
produce.
• Place cooked food on a clean plate.
• Place raw foods in a sealed container
or plastic bags to prevent meat juices
from dripping on other food.
• Wipe up promptly meat juice spills
from all surfaces.
16
©2002 Learning Zone Express
Chill
Follow these COOL rules:
• Refrigerate prepared foods within 2 hours. Cold temperatures
keep most harmful bacteria from multiplying.
• Set your refrigerator at 40° F. (or less) and the freezer at 0° F.
• Divide large amounts of leftovers into small shallow containers
for quick cooling.
• Marinate foods in the refrigerator.
• Don’t pack the refrigerator too full. Cold
air must circulate to keep food safe.
• Use a cooler or ice pack to keep
perishable food cold, especially
on hot summer days.
• Thaw foods in the refrigerator, never at room temperature.
17

Clean
Wash hands and surfaces often.
Wash Up!
•
Wash hands with hot, soapy water for at least 20 seconds before and after
handling food and after using the bathroom, handling pets or changing diapers.
•
Thoroughly scrub hands, wrists, and fingernails. Rinse and dry.
Fruit & Veggies:
•
Wash raw produce under running water. Use a small vegetable brush to remove
surface dirt.
•
Cut away any damaged or bruised area on product.
Bacteria thrive in these places.
Surface Cleaning:
18
•
Use paper towels to clean kitchen surfaces
so germs can be thrown away.
•
Wash cutting boards, counters and all utensils
with hot, soapy water after preparing each
food item to avoid cross-contamination.
•
Wipe up spills in the refrigerator immediately.

Avoid Risky Foods
Risky foods are those that are most likely to
produce a food-borne illness.
Risky foods include:
• Foods from an animal source (both raw and cooked).
• Raw meat, poultry, eggs, milk (unpasteurized) and shellfish.
• Raw fruits & vegetables which have been processed
in unsanitary conditions (especially sprouts
and unpasteurized fruit juices).
• Cut melons.
• Unpasteurized dairy products (soft cheeses).
19

Product Dates & Recommendations
“Sell-by” Date
• Tells the retailer how long to keep a product out for sale.
• It is recommended that the product be used within a few days of
this date for maximum freshness (flavor, aroma & appearance).
“Use-by” Date
• Tells the consumer the final date by
which to use the product.
• A recommended date for the product
to be used for quality flavor,
aroma & appearance.
Product dates and recommendations are only
reliable if food has been kept at a proper
temperature during storing and handling.

You’re the Expert
You have been hired as a restaurant critic for
a local newspaper. You visit a restaurant and although you
have no complaints on the taste of the food, you notice some
disturbing food preparation methods. You find that food is
left out on the counter for several hours, employees rarely
wash their hands between handling different types of food,
and utensils are not always properly washed between uses.
Discuss with classmates what you would write in your article.
Include suggestions you would give to the restaurant on ways
to prevent food-borne illness, as well as the dangers of their
bad habits.
21

Applying What You Know
Pick one of the following assignments to be completed outside of class.
1. Create a Food Safety poster to be placed in a
restaurant kitchen. Include pictures and descriptions
of ways to ensure food safety using the “4 Steps to
Food Safety”.
2. Research a food-borne illness and write a 1-2 page
report on your findings. Be sure to include causes of
the illness, health effects, and prevention tips.
3. Write a song or poem that describes one part of food
safety. Your song or poem can be about washing your
hands, cleaning foods, food storage, etc. Share your
song or poem with the class.
