The Devil is in the Devilled Eggs, and Other Food Safety Aphorisms ...Actually there are no aphorosims in this post: witty sayings are scarce in the food safety realm. It’s mostly fear campaigns about the “Temperature Danger Zone” (TDZ) followed by a simple mantra: Clean. Separate. Cook. Chill . It may be tempting to dismiss food safety concerns as symptoms of a ‘sterilized’ society, guilty of conflating purity with Purell. Yet contracting a foodborne illness will teach you new things about your body–revelations you will wish had been left uncorked. These misadventures can make for a good story , but they can also be fatal, especially for the young, the elderly, and the immuno-compromised. As consumers, some of the contaminated foods that we encounter are beyond our control, damaged at some point in a nebulous food system–via import, in processing, through polluted waterways and agricultural runoff etc. In late July , the House of Representatives passed the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 . If passed by the Senate and signed by the President, the legislation would expand the Food and Drug Administration’s inspection authority, enhance trace-back, and better protect the food supply for consumers. Whether H.S 2749 passes or not, we remain responsible for self-regulation. Most cases of foodborne illness stem from faulty practices in food service operations and at home. There are ways to minimize risks beyond those to which we willingly subject ourselves-like sushi, rare meat, and most anything that inspires disclaimers on restaurant menus. In addition to ‘Clean. Separate. Cook. Chill. ‘, there are several general rules to follow. Some are obvious. Wash your produce, even if it’s organic. What do you think ‘natural fertilizer’ means? Throw away things that smell, turn colors, grow fuzz. Avoid bulging cans. Don’t serve a cooked bird on the same platter that held it raw. Trust that tofu can go bad. Others are more subtle. Keep an eye out for cracks in mugs and for grooves hacked into cutting boards , wooden or plastic (ugh). These nicks are hard to clean well, leaving a moist hiding den for bacteria. While lemon juice and salt may help remove food smells from cutting boards, it will not sterilize surfaces. Wash dishtowels regularly, as in, before they start to smell. ... |
