Title: Food Safety


1
Food Safety
  • Food Safety is an issue for agriculture,
    fisheries, food manufacturing, distribution, and
    in the Kitchen.

2
Food Safety Outbreaks
  • 76 Million Reported Cases per Year
  • 300,000 Hospitalized per Year
  • 5000 fatalities per Year
  • Primary Group, Young, Old, Immune Deficient.

3
Foodborne Illness Outbreaks Reported to CDC
4
Outbreaks per Food Group (CDC 2007)
  • Seafood, 1053 outbreaks
  • Produce, 713 outbreaks
  • Poultry, 354 Outbreaks
  • Beef, 506 outbreaks
  • Eggs, 309 outbreaks
  • Multi-Ingredient foods, 601 outbreaks

5
Hazards in Seafood
  • Naturally occurring biotoxins that are expressed
    due to improper handling
  • Biotoxins from the environment (man induced)
  • Heavy metals (concentration from water)
  • Chemical pollution (antibiotics, PCB, pesticides)

6
Foodborne Outbreaks in Seafood (CDC,
2006)
7
Foodborne Outbreaks in Seafood (CDC,
2006)
8
Hazards in Produce
  • Pathogenic Bacteria (Salmonella, E coli H70157,
    Shigella, Listeria)
  • Viruses (Norovirus, Cholera)
  • Ag Chemicals (Pesticides)
  • Industrial Pollutants (Perchlorate, Metals)

9
Foodborne Outbreaks in Produce (CDC,
2006)
10
Pathogenic Bacteria Viruses
  • Majority of outbreaks caused by bacteria
  • Hosts of bacteria are cattle, poultry, birds,
    reptiles, swine and humans
  • Examples, E coliH70157 comes from beef/deer and
    have caused outbreaks in undercooked hamburger,
    salads, spinach, green onion, apple juice.
  • Salmonella is from birds, reptiles, humans
  • Shigella is from cattle, swine and humans
  • Listeria is from dairy, and environment

11
Epidemilogy of Outbreaks
  • Local health agencies post food borne illness
    reported by hospitals to CDC.
  • CDC looks for patterns and reports to FDA and
    State Health Authorities.
  • FDA and States follow up with investigation on
    manufacturers and distributors.
  • PCR Testing compared to patients and potential
    food source.
  • Follow up can take days to weeks and food is no
    longer in the system.

12
Vectors of Pathogenic Bacteria
  • Water, is the main vector through irrigation,
    well water, processing, cooling washing
  • Humans animals are the second most important
    vector, (act as carriers on skin or fecal matter)
  • Equipment is the third most important vector.
  • Wind and Insects are possible vectors based on
    last two spinach outbreaks.

13
Viruses as Pathogens
  • Norwalk Virus is the most common virus causing
    food borne illness
  • Hepatitis A is the second most common pathogenic
    virus
  • Both are hosted and vectored by humans

14
Regulatory Authority on Foods
  • Food Drug Administration.
  • Jurisdiction covers seafood, produce, spices,
    processed foods, dairy, and game.
  • US Department of Agriculture.
  • Jurisdiction covers meats, poultry, eggs, and raw
    agricultural commodities.
  • Environmental Protection Agency
  • Jurisdiction covers drinking water, chemicals
    used on crops, preservatives, antibiotics.
  • US Department of Commerce (seafood production and
    marketing)
  • State County Health Authorities

15
Laws imposed to Enforce Food Safety
  • FDA (FDC Act, 21 CFR) (Food Protection Act)
  • Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
  • HACCP Mandates (Seafood, Dairy, Juice, Sprouted
    Foods)
  • Guidance for Good Agriculture Practices
  • USDA (Ag Marketing Act)
  • HACCP for processed meats, poultry, eggs, baked
    goods.
  • EPA (FIFRA, 40 CFR)
  • Establishes tolerances for chemicals used in
    foods and production
  • State Health Authority
  • Model Food Code for restaurants and retail
    grocery

16
Prevention Tactics Risk Management
  • Establish a policy that all vendors have
  • Basic sanitation practices from field to fork
  • Risk or Hazard Analysis to focus on the specific
    biological, chemical or physical agent.
  • Adequate kill steps at control points.
  • Verification with audits and testing

17
Auditing Process to Verify GAP/HACCP Risk
Management
  • Each Supplier Must have Risk Management with
    Prevention
  • Each Supplier Goes Thru a Scored audit and must
    score better than 80.
  • Grower Audits contain modules for each area.
  • Land use, Water Management, Harvest Crews
  • Packer/Distributor Audits include HACCP

18
Crop Risk Management
  • SCS created Crop Risk Guide based on CDC data
  • High Risk Foods (5 or more outbreaks and consumed
    raw) include leafy veges, melons, sprouts,
    tomatoes, mushrooms, green onions)
  • Mid Risk Foods (At least one outbreak, and
    consumed raw) include grapes, berries, tree
    fruit, smooth skin melons, carrots, citrus)
  • Low Risk Foods (No associated outbreaks or
    consumed cooked) Potatoes, Hard Squash, Globe
    onions, etc)

19
Using GAP to Manage Risk in Production (Leafy
Greens Agreement)
  • Water Controls
  • Irrigation
  • Use water that meets Rec Water Stds (126 mpn E
    coli)
  • Monitor Well head and aquifer
  • Monitor Main Irrigation Canals
  • Cooling
  • Use maintain potable water in hydrocooling
  • Washing
  • Uses and maintain potable water in double or
    triple wash system.

20
Water, Holding Ponds (126 mpn, E Coli)
21
Well Head Integrity(126 mpn E coli plus Potable
if going to wash process)
22
Irrigation Canal Management(126 mpn E coli.)
23
Land Use Controls
  • Land History
  • Livestock Use
  • Non Food Crops
  • Industrial
  • Surrounding Land Use
  • Buffers zones for Feedlots
  • 400 feet for commercial feedlots
  • 30 feet for individual applicaitons
  • Dairy Sludge Pond Runoff (EPA requirements)
  • Year Round Issues
  • Flooding
  • (non harvest of contacted produce
  • Non use of the land for 60 days after flooding
  • Drift of Pesticides
  • Wildlife
  • Dispose of foods exposed to migratory birds
  • Containment of local migration patterns (deer
    pigs)

24
Production Controls
  • Soil Amendments
  • Compost Use
  • Biosolids

27
Providing Sanitation in Field
28
Basic Food Safety Equip Provided

31
Packing, Processing and Distribution
  • GMP and HACCP apply as might food processing laws
    (CFR 21. 110).
  • Modules included
  • GMP for Packing Distribution
  • Water management
  • HACCP on tomato melon wash water
  • Fresh Cut, Sprouts Juice have HACCP
  • GMP on Building and Equipment
  • HACCP on wash water, seed disinfection,
    pasteurization.

32
GMPs (CFR 21110) in Packing Plants Building,
Processes , and Equipments must not provide
source of contamination of the food
  • Personnel Hygiene
  • Food Contact Equipment
  • Facility and Grounds
  • Water Used
  • Packaging

33
Water Must meet Potable Water Stds
34
Wash water must meet potable water Standards even
during use.
35
Sanitizing Sprays use up to 200 ppm Chlorine.
36
Foodhandler Guidelines
  • Fingernails Keep fingernails clean and trimmed.
    False fingernails and fingernail polish should
    not be worn.
  • Hair restraints wear hats in a way that will
    prevent hair from falling into food and will also
    discourage you from touching your hair.
  • Jewelry Do not wear jewelry. It can collect soil
    and is difficult to keep clean. Jewelry can fall
    off and get lost in food. It also can cause
    injury by getting caught on hot or sharp objects
    or in equipment.

37
Personnel Hygiene Cont.
  • Smoking, eating and drinking Smoking, eating and
    drinking can contaminate your hands and fingers
    and any food or food-contact surface you then
    touch.
  • Smoke only in designated areas.
  • Eat only in designated break roomsNEVER in your
    work area.
  • Drink only in designated areasNEVER on or over
    work areas.
  • Clean uniforms Wear clean clothing or uniforms
    to work daily. Clean your hats often they are
    part of your uniform.

38
Personal Hygiene must be in place
