LO 13.5 Toxins and Chemical Agents Can Contaminate Foods

In addition to pathogens, toxins and chemical agents can also cause foodborne illness. Naturally occurring toxins include marine toxins and toxins that can occur naturally in foods. Chemical agents such as polychlorinated biphenyls can occur as a by-product of industrial pollution.

LO 13.3 Many Agencies Work Together to Keep Food Safe

Through the coordinated effort of the Food Safety Initiative, numerous United States government agencies work together to safeguard America's food supply against foodborne illness. Food manufacturers use preservation techniques such as pasteurization and irradiation to destroy contaminants. Food product dating can help you enjoy your foods at peak quality.

41) Food safety consists of guidelines and procedures that help keep foods free from contaminants.

True

LO 13.4 8. Which of following is NOT a function of food additives? adding neurotoxins to foods preventing spoilage increasing the shelf life of a food enhancing the flavor of foods

(a) Food additives help prevent spoilage, increase the shelf life of the product, and can enhance the flavor of foods.

Disease-causing microbes are also known as pathologicals

F

Microscopic animals that take their nourishment from their hosts are referred to as prions.

F

Thoroughly cooking fish and seafood will destroy marine toxins.

F

Foods that smell bad will give you foodborne illness if you consume them.

FALSE. An off smell in food is more likely a sign of food spoilage than that the food contains a pathogen that could cause foodborne illness. Unfortunately, a food that contains a diseasecausing pathogen could smell perfectly fine. Turn to page 495 to find out more.

40) Which of the following pathogens is a virus spread by fecal-oral transmission?

A) Giardia duodenalis B) Salmonella enteritidis C) hepatitis A D) E. coli O157:H7 C

38) Which of the following pathogens is a parasite contracted by ingesting contaminated water?

T

8) Which of the following pathogens is responsible for foodborne illness in individuals who have eaten raw or undercooked eggs, poultry and meat, raw milk, and dairy products?

A) Shigella B) Clostridium perfringens C) Salmonella D) Listeria monocytogenes C

Freezing foods kills bacteria.

FALSE. Freezing doesn't kill bacteria, but only puts them in a dormant state. Find out what happens once the food is thawed on page 506.

Food irradiation makes food radioactive.

FALSE. Irradiated food is treated with gamma rays that interrupt DNA and make cells unable to reproduce, thus killing harmful pathogens. It does not make foods radioactive. Learn more on page 513.

Grilled chicken that is pink in the middle is never safe to eat.

FALSE. It's not the color but rather the internal temperature of the chicken that will determine if it is safe to eat. Turn to page 505 to learn why color should not be used to determine if your food is safe to eat.

Leftovers that have been stored in the fridge for a week will still be safe to eat.

FALSE. Leftovers should be thrown out if they're not consumed within 3 to 5 days. To find out more about safe food storage, turn to page 507.

As long as the expiration date hasn't passed, packaged food is always safe to eat.

FALSE. Package dates refer to food quality, not safety. To find out why consuming a food before the expiration date can't guarantee that the item is safe to eat, turn to page 514.

Washing your hands for 10 seconds under running water is necessary to reduce your chances of getting foodborne illness.

FALSE. Running your hands under water for 10 seconds is not the correct way to wash your hands to reduce your risk of getting sick. To find out the correct method, turn to page 502.

LO 13.4 Food Additives Can Help Keep Your Foods Safe and Healthy

Food additives are used as preservatives, antioxidants, flavoring, coloring, and leavening agents. They are also used to maintain a food's consistency and to add nutrients. The FDA must approve most additives before they can be used in foods, and all additives must be listed on the food label. Some additives are exempted from obtaining FDA approval by having attained GRAS or prior-sanctioned status based on their long history of safe consumption.

LO 13.1 Pathogens Are the Primary Cause of Foodborne Illness

Pathogens, which include viruses, bacteria, and parasites, as well as fungal agents and prions, all can cause foodborne illness. Noroviruses are the single largest cause of foodborne illness. The most common bacteria that cause foodborne illness are Campylobacter, E. coli O157: H7, and Salmonella.

LO 13.2 Practicing the Four Cs Can Prevent Foodborne Illness

Proper food-handling techniques during four critical steps—cleaning, combating cross-contamination, cooking, and chilling—can help reduce your risk of foodborne illness. Washing your hands and cleaning produce before eating it is important to prevent foodbornes illness. Separate cutting boards should be used for meat and nonmeat foods, and utensils and serving dishes that touch raw meat should not be used to handle cooked meat. The only way to tell if a meat product has been thoroughly cooked is to check its internal temperature with a meat thermometer. When serving foods, hot foods should be kept hot and cold foods should be kept cold. Leftovers should be divided and refrigerated quickly (within 1 to 2 hours), and frozen foods should never be thawed at room temperature. Refrigerators should always be set at 40°F or below and freezers should always be set at 0°F or below.

(c) Sulfuric acid is not a naturally occurring toxin found in food products.

LO 13.3 6. The "Best if Used By" date on a food container refers to the date by which you should consume the product so that you don't get sick. you should consume the product to get your money's worth. you should purchase the product. to consume the product to enjoy it at its best quality.

(d) To prevent foodborne illness, it's important to employ proper food-handling strategies when cleaning, combating cross-contamination, cooking, and chilling the foods in your meal.

LO 13.6 Food and Water Supplies Are Potential Targets for Bioterrorism

The Department of Homeland Security coordinates the efforts of numerous local, state, and federal agencies to protect the United States, which includes safeguarding your food and water supply.
