Why is Food Safety Important?
No one likes to be sick.
Food safety includes:
• Proper food storage
• Good hygiene
• Prevention of crosscontamination
• Cooking food to proper
temperatures
• Avoiding mistakes in food
preparation
Food Safety Terms
Bacteria:
Tiny, one-celled microorganisms
found everywhere
Food-Borne Illness:
Illness caused by eating
contaminated food
Cross-Contamination:
Transfer of harmful bacteria
from one source to another
Conditions for Bacterial Growth
Remember: FAT TOM
• Food
• Acidity
• Temperature
• Time
• Oxygen
• Moisture

• Meat
• Poultry
• Eggs
• Milk
• Fish
Carbohydrates
• Cooked rice
• Beans
• Potatoes

Temperature
• Bacteria grow the
fastest between 40140°F
• Freezing and

• Microorganisms love a moist

5 Steps to Food Safety
1. Cook
2. Separate
3. Chill
4. Clean
5. Avoid
Cook
Cook foods to the right internal temperature:
Ground Beef
Meat
160° F
145° F
Poultry
Eggs
Fish
165° F
160° F
145° F
Leftovers
165° F
Separate
Combat Cross-Contamination
• At the grocery store
• In your refrigerator
• While preparing food
Chill
Don’t Wait, Refrigerate!
• Chill out! Set the correct temperature
on these appliances:
- Refrigerator: 40° F or lower
- Freezer: 0° F or lower
• Refrigerate prepared foods
within 2 hours
• Store perishables properly
• Use a cooler
Clean
Keep it clean!
• Wash your hands before
preparing or eating food
• Wash produce under running
water
• Keep food preparation surfaces
clean to prevent crosscontamination
Avoid Risky Foods
Risky foods are those that are most likely to
produce a food-borne illness
• Foods from an animal source
- Raw meat, poultry, eggs, fish,
non-pasteurized milk
& shellfish
• Raw fruits & vegetables
produced in unsanitary
conditions
• Soft cheeses
Product Dates & Recommendations
Sell-by date:
Tells the retailer how long to keep a product
out for sale
Use-by date:
Tells the consumer
the date by
which to use
the product
Who’s at Risk?
• Anyone and everyone
Especially dangerous for high-risk
populations:
- Very young
- Elderly
- Pregnant women
- People with a compromised
immune system
How Does
Food-Borne Illness Occur?
• Contaminated foods carry microorganisms
into the body
• Body’s defenses try to fight infection
• Primary symptoms of most food-borne illnesses:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal cramps
- Diarrhea

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.
Applying What You Know
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 “5 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.
