Food service and preparation takes place at many locations. One of the goals of service is to have it both safe and sanitary to the customer and the foodservice personnel. One does not want to end up in the hospital.

Each consumer should practice certain aspects of handling food in the home. The CSIRO has discussed a number of points. This is also discussed within this module. Safe handling in the cupboard, refrigerator, and freezer has been discussed by Extension Service at Kansas State University.

Excerpt from Linda A. Johnson. 2000, May 1. New and stronger infectious diseases a growing global threat. Corvallis Gazette-Times, Corvallis, OR. A5

"The experts cite numberous factors for the emergence - and re-emergence - of deadly germs, including:

increased international travel and shipment of food.
unprecedented population growth cramming people together in unsanitary conditions.
decaying public health infrastructure in many areas.
more people living with immune systems suppressed by AIDS, cqancer, diabetes and organ transplants.
increased use use of antibiotics in people and livestock, which contributes to germs' growing resistance to antibiotics. Potentially deadly staph infections are becoming resistant to even the antibiotic of last choice.

Eighty-six percent of the participants answered young children could safely eat raw cookie dough, and 38% answered that they only needed to warm leftover chili before serving it. During a three month follow-up evaluation after the tgraining. 12 of the 13 respondents indicated they made changes in their facilities as a result of attending the food safety training program.

The author attributes this lack of progress to USDA officials wanting to study HACCP more thoroughly. However, Caroline Smith De Waal, director fo legal affairs for Public Voice for Food & Health Policy, believes that government is attempting to transfer the responsibility of food safety to the industry.Excerpted from 1995.

Anonymous. 2000November. Food safety. Food Engineering. 72(11):14.: USDA and industry to investigate irradiation, food safety. Scientists at the research arm of USDA plans to partner with Ion Beam Applications (IBA) to further study irradiation and food safety in order to help guarantee the quality of the U.S. food supply.
Under the five-yhear agreement, the Food safety Research Unit of USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) will use IBA's commercial sterilization and ionization facilities to compare the effectiveness of gamma, electron beam and X-ray sources in controlling food-borne pathogens. IBA has been producing irradiation systems for more than 40 years and treating foods, particularly poultry, seafood, cheese and spices, for more than 15 years.
The USDA-ARS program will also examine how these treatments affect the properties of food such as taste and texture, and how to optimize the benefits of the process. The agreement is the result of growing public concern over food-borne illness and FDA's recent approval of irradiation to eliminate harmful microorganisms from meat.
"As an unbiased governmental research unit, ARS is able to provide the food industry with an unparalleled source of facutal data converning irradiated foods," said Pat Adams, president of IBA's food safety division.

Obvious? Perhaps. But a rash of reports in the Journal of the American Medical Assocation, Lancet and other medical journals cite studies linking the breakdown of basic hygiene to outbreaks of bacterial and viral illness in hospitals, nursing homes and child-care centers.
Common culprits passed hand-to-hand cause winter colds and flu, gastric upsets and ear infections. Adding danger to this misery index, drug-resistant strains of streptococcus pneumoniae (which cause penumonia), staphylococcus aureus (which causes toxic shock and other infections) and enterococcus (which causes diarrhea) are plaguing hospitals.
