Know the rules about food safety

By PATRICIA McCLINTON

RESTAURANTS have to
follow a mgid code for the
safety of food preparation.
However, on occasion and
because of carelessness, food
contamination can occur.

At home, the same precau-
tions should be taken to pre-
vent food contamination that
could cause illness.

When foods are not handl-
ed properly, they can become
contaminated with harmful
bacteria. Given a certain en-
vironment — such as food,
moisture and heat -—- these
bacteria can grow

THE DANGEROUS ONES
The bacteria prefers non-

acid food such as milk, eggs,
meat, poultry and fish — and
will grow rapidly in these. An
example might be chicken
salad.

Dry foods such as sugar or
dry rice are not favorable to
bacterial growth.

To avoid contaminating
food:
a) Do not cough or sneeze

over a food
b) Cuts or any abrasion
should be well bandaged.
c) Do not use the stirring
spoon to taste a food.
d) Do not put cooked meat
on the same surface as raw
meat unless well scrubbed.
These four simple rules are
not hard to tollow
Foods that should be well-
chilled after cooking or

preparing are custard,
salad, chicken salad,
salad, meat salad.
Roast turkey, chicken,
etc., should be put in the
refrigerator as soon as possi-
ble after serving. Stuffing
should be put into a chicken

egg
fish

or turkey just before
roasting. The stuffing then
should be removed and
refrigerated separately.

RE-FREEZING A NO-NO
Don’t re-freeze raw meat,
chicken, or fish. Cook it as

soon as possible.

Icecream should not be re-
frozen.

Bulging cans should not
even be tasted.

The best rule to follow is
when in doubt, throw out. It
may seem wasteful to throw

out a cooked chicken that has
stood on the counter six
hours — but it is safer.
