  • Day 1 Review
    Day 1 Review • All food service establishments must have a current and valid permit issued by the New York City Health Department. • Health inspectors have the right to inspect any operating food service or food processing establishment. Inspectors must be given access to all areas of the establishment during an inspection. • According to the New York City Health Code, supervisors of all food service establishments must have a Food Protection Certificate. • Food is any edible substance, ice, beverage or ingredient used or sold for human consumption. • Potentially Hazardous Foods (PHFs) are foods which support rapid growth of microorganisms. • Examples of PHFs include all raw and cooked meats, poultry, milk and milk products, fish, shellfish, tofu, cooked rice, pasta, beans, potatoes and garlic in oil. • The Temperature Danger Zone is between 41°F and 140°F. Within this range, most harmful microorganisms reproduce rapidly. • The three types of thermometers that can be used for measuring food temperatures are: bimetallic stem (range from 0°F to 220°F), thermocouple and thermistor (digital). The use of glass thermometers in a food service establishment is prohibited by law. • Meat inspected by the Unites States Department of Agriculture (USDA) must have a USDA inspection stamp. • Smoked fish must be held at or below 38°F to prevent the growth of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. • Shellfish must be received with shellfish tags. These tags must be kept on file for at least 90 days after the product is used. • Milk and milk products must either be pasteurized, with sell-by dates of 9 days, or ultra-pasteurized, with sell-by dates of 45 days.

  • Joint Statement on Insect Repellents by EPA And
    Joint Statement on Insect Repellents from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention July 17, 2014 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are recommending that the public use insect repellents and take other precautions to avoid biting insects that carry serious diseases. The incidence of these diseases is on the rise. This joint statement discusses diseases that are transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes, the role of government in vector control and disease prevention, the history of repellents, how to use repellents as part of an integrated control program, and how to select and use a repellent. Introduction and Purpose CDC and EPA developed this joint statement to promote awareness of repellents and to highlight the effectiveness of repellents in preventing mosquito and tick bites. The agencies believe that promoting the use of repellents may reduce the impact of diseases and nuisance effects caused by these pests. Vector-borne diseases, such as those transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks, are among the world's leading causes of illness and death today. A wide variety of arthropods, including mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, black flies, sand flies, horse flies, stable flies, kissing bugs, lice and mites, feed on human blood. Among these, mosquitoes and ticks transmit some of the most serious vector- borne diseases both globally and within the United States. Diseases Transmitted by Mosquitoes and Ticks Mosquito-transmitted West Nile virus caused over 36,000 disease cases and 1,500 deaths in the United States between 1999 and 2012 (CDC, 2012). Mosquitoes also transmit other viruses that cause severe disease in the United States, including La Crosse encephalitis, eastern equine encephalitis and dengue.

  • Trichinosis Leroy G
    Authors K. Darwin Murrell, USDA/ARS Peoria, Illinois George T. Woods, University of Illinois Trichinosis LeRoy G. Biehl, University of Illinois Reviewers Ray Gamble, USDA/ARS, Beltsville, Maryland Peter M. Schantz, CDC, Atlanta, Georgia Trichinosis has been a stigma associated with the consumption of pork for years. A recent study indicates that a trichinae-safe pork supply would increase consumer confidence and pork consumption, resulting in additional income to pork producers. Trichinosis is a disease of man and other animals caused by a tiny parasitic worm, Trichinella spiralis. Humans may be infected by eating the meat of infected domestic pigs or occasionally the meat of wild bears, wild pigs or other animals such as horses. A number of wild animals including raccoons, opossums, skunks, foxes and rodents are known to be infected and serve as a reservoir of the disease. Over the past five years (1986-1990), between 27 and 109 cases in humans per year were reported in the United States. One study indicated 73.2% of the human cases were attributed to pork products. The number of human cases of trichinosis has declined dramatically in the United States in the last 40 years, but the infection rate in swine remains the highest of any developed country in the world. Recent surveys indicate the national prevalence in swine is about 0.125%. In contrast, the prevalence in swine in Germany is 0.00003%, 0.0008% in the Soviet Union and none in Denmark. With approximately 89 million hogs slaughtered each year in the United States, this means there are about 110,000 infected hogs per year.
