1 — LOOKING AT THE ENEMY
Every year:– 76 million people get foodborne illness– 325,000 are hospitalized– 5000 die
1 in every 4 Americans will get foodborne illness this year.
![Page 3: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Who is susceptible?
Older adults (65 years and older) Pregnant women Very young children (2 years or
younger) Individuals with compromised immune
systems Individuals who are malnourished
![Page 4: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
![Page 5: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What causes foodborne illness?
Eating unsafe food Food becomes unsafe primarily because
of microorganisms, such as:– Bacteria– Viruses– Parasites
Any food can cause illness if it is not handled safely.
![Page 6: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Common causes of foodborne illness
Improper cooling/holding of foods Not washing hands properly Using food from unsafe sources Cross-contamination Improper cooking
![Page 7: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do bacteria grow?
Bacteria double under ideal conditions every 30 minutes.– At 12:00 noon you can have 10 bacteria in a
food– By 5:00 p.m. there could be 10,240 bacteria. – This is enough to make one sick with
foodborne illness
![Page 8: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What are ideal conditions for bacteria to grow?
Potentially hazardous food (PHF), which are:– low acid
– moist
– some protein Unsafe temperature
between 45oF and 140oF PHF at unsafe
temperatures for at least two hours
![Page 9: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9Fighting BAC!
Activity — Potentially Hazardous Foods
Look at your site’s menu and highlight those foods that are potentially hazardous.
These foods need to be at 45oF or colder or 140oF or hotter.
The only way to determine if these foods are at the proper temperature is to use a thermometer.
![Page 10: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Viruses and Parasites
Viruses are believed to be the number one cause of foodborne illness.– Viruses do not grow in food like bacteria do.– Viruses can contaminate any food, not just
potentially hazardous foods. Parasites do not cause many cases of
foodborne illness in the U.S.
![Page 11: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To Fight BAC! against foodborne illness:
CLEAN: Wash hands and surfaces often
SEPARATE: Don’t cross-contaminate
COOK: Cook foods to proper temperatures
CHILL: Refrigerate foods promptly
![Page 12: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2 — RECEIVING
Only purchase food from an approved source, such as:– permitted foodservice operation– grocery store– foodservice wholesale supplier
Inspect before you accept to be certain that the food meets your food safety standards.
![Page 13: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Activity — Accept or Reject?
Which of these foods would you accept and why? Individual cartons of milk that are at 48oF A sheet cake that is uncovered Turkey and dressing at 132oF Cooked corn that is at 139oF Tossed salad that is at 44oF
![Page 14: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Develop a Back-up Plan
Many of the foods on the previous slide had to be rejected.
You need a back-up plan in place so that if you have to reject you will still be able to feed the participants.
Share with the group what you would do if you had to reject a shipment of food.
![Page 15: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3 — STORAGE All food must be:
– covered and clean
– in its original packaging or labeled
– marked with time and date of receipt
– stored at the proper temperature
– use a storage chart to determine how long you can keep
![Page 16: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Chemical Storage
Store chemicals separate from food.
Keep them close to where they are needed.
![Page 18: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

5 — COOKING
Proper cooking kills harmful bacteria and parasites that are naturally present in raw foods.
Cooking will not necessarily destroy toxins or viruses.
![Page 26: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Measuring Food Temperatures
1. Use a food thermometer that has a temperature range between 0-220oF.
2. Each day check the accuracy of your food thermometer(s) in ice water.
3. Clean and sanitize the thermometer before each use.
4. Insert into the thickest part of the food or into the center of the food.
![Page 27: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Activity — What’s My Cooking Temperature?
To what temperature do you cook each of these foods? Frozen ground beef patties Turkey roast Commercially canned spaghetti sauce Chocolate chip cookies Vegetable soup Creamed corn
![Page 28: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Activity — Calibrating Thermometers
Divide the group into teams. Give each team a thermometer and a
glass filled with crushed ice and water. Have each team check the accuracy of
their thermometer. If not at 32oF, then have them calibrate.
![Page 30: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
6 — SERVING
Keep hot foods at 140oF or hotter. Keep cold foods at 45oF or colder. Use cleaned and sanitized serving utensils. Wear clean clothes and keep hair restrained.
![Page 31: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

7 — LEFTOVERS
Congregate nutrition site should not be cooling hot foods or reheating them because:– the sites do not have commercial equipment to
properly cool foods. Review the leftover policy that appears in
the participant manual.
![Page 34: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Improperly cooled food = unsafe food
Improperly cooled food must be discarded.
During cooling, spores could grow. Some form toxins Reheating, even to boiling
temperatures, will not necessarily destroy these toxins.
![Page 36: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
8 — CLEANING AND SANITIZING
CLEANING = removing dirt and debris
SANITIZING = killing 99.999% of harmful bacteria that might still be on the surface.
![Page 37: Fighting BAC! Food Safety in the Elderly Nutrition Program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649ddb5503460f94ad1b47/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
