The Food Safety Information Handbook ❖ THE FOOD SAFETY INFORMATION HANDBOOK ❖ Cynthia A. Roberts Oryx Press 2001 This Page Intentionally Left Blank The rare Arabian Oryx is believed to have inspired the myth of the unicorn. This desert antelope became virtually extinct in the early 1960s. At that time, several groups of international conservationists arranged to have nine animals sent to the Phoenix Zoo to be the nucleus of a captive breeding herd. Today, the Oryx population is over 1,000, and over 500 have been returned to the Middle East. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Roberts, Cynthia A.

Ask anyone on the street for a definition, and they’ll probably answer that it means food that is safe to eat. But breaking this down into its components is a harder task. If one asks important ques- tions such as what is safe food, how safe is safe, how many people get sick from unsafe food, what are the major causes of unsafe food, how can food be made safe, and who’s responsibility is food safety, the seemingly solid nature of the discipline dis- solves. While this book cannot pretend to answer questions that even experts in the field are grappling with, it does try to give the reader some possible answers, a broad over- view of the subject, and the tools necessary to interpret the quality of the food they eat and the validity of the information to which they are exposed. The audience for the book includes those who eat food, whether they be parents, students, cooks, food industry workers, dietitians, health professionals, educators, or librarians. The first part of the book offers an introduction and overview to the field of food safety. Chapter 1 begins with food hazards, exposing the reader to information about viruses, pathogenic bacteria, naturally occurring toxins, pesticides, and other dangers. Although humankind has been working to protect the food supply for mil- lennia, pathogens and other forces have been similarly changing throughout the mil- lennia to thwart attempts to make the food supply safe. These factors are examined, followed by a short history of discoveries that have contributed to the current state of scientific knowledge about food safety. Finally, readers are introduced to some of the techniques that have been developed to make food safer, the result of which can be seen in the aisles of grocery stores. In Chapter 2 the reader is introduced to several hot topics and the issues on each side of the debate over food biotechnology, bovine somatotropin, food irradiation, pesticides, drinking water quality, and restaurant food safety. Chapter 3 provides a chronology of events covered under the umbrella of food safety—inventions, dis- coveries, foodborne illness outbreaks, legislation, and other events that have shaped our understanding of the safety of food. Chapter 4 traces the evolution of the laws Preface and policies that guide food production in the United States.

Hamburg will Alter the Food Industry Between 2006 and 2010, six highly publicized outbreaks of food borne illnesses occurred, resulting in fourteen deaths.1 In 2008, a critically-acclaimed documentary portrayed the majority of the food industry as appallingly full of profit-hungry corporate giants willing to sacrifice the quality of their food and the health of the American people for lower costs.2 It was in this climate that, on January 4, 2011, President Obama signed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) into law.3 This act dictated that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implement certain food industry regulations by specific deadlines, which the FDA failed to meet.4 Frustrated by the FDA’s inability to adhere to these deadlines, the Center for Food Safety filed suit to compel the FDA to do so, resulting in Center for Food Safety v.

  • Environmental Health Playbook
    Focus Areas FOOD SAFETY Food Safety Americans spend more than $1 trillion on food each year, nearly half of it in restaurants, schools, and other establishments outside the home.1 Therefore, maintenance of a healthy and safe food pipeline is a strategic national imperative. To achieve that goal, federal agencies cooperate with state and local entities to develop systems, standards, and the workforce necessary to assure universal access to safe and nutritious food. The Problem The Government Accountability Office has identified as many as 15 federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and US Department of Agriculture (USDA), tasked with administering at least 30 food safety laws. Nonetheless, foodborne illness remains a problem in the US. According to CDC, every year one in six Americans becomes ill and 30,000 Americans die from ingesting contaminated food or beverages.2 Foodborne illnesses cost the country more than $15.6 billion annually.3 While all Americans are susceptible to foodborne illness, certain populations, including children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems, are particularly vulnerable.4 Preventing foodborne illness remains one of public health’s greatest challenges. The laboratory-based network used to detect and help resolve foodborne disease outbreaks in the US is the PulseNet network established by CDC and the Association of Public Health Laboratories in 1996. According to a recent CDC report, PulseNet is not only effective, but cost-effective:5 PulseNet, the national laboratory network that detects foodborne disease outbreaks, prevents an estimated 270,000 illnesses every year from the three most common causes of foodborne illness: Salmonella, E.

It is a ubiquitous liability with a high mortality rate, unique characteristics of growth and survival in many environmental conditions, making the pathogen a true risk to consumer health. Recent outbreaks of listeriosis have caused fatalities, massive well-publicized recalls costing the food industry heavy financial losses and damaged reputation. L. monocytogenes is the forefront of impediment and educational efforts from private industry and government agencies. The purpose of this study is to assess the features and concern of L. monocytogenes in the retail food service environment and its impact on operations. Regulatory surveillance of testing environmental samples and food products for L. monocytogenes highlight prevention. Organizations in the retail food service industry need a separate plan for training, food handling, sanitation and financial allocation to combat the potential threat of L.

  • Taking Salmonella Seriously Policies to Protect Public Health Under Current Law
    Taking Salmonella Seriously Policies to Protect Public Health under Current Law Thomas Gremillion Director of the Food Policy Institute November 27, 2018 1620 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200 | Washington, DC 20006 | (202) 387-6121 | ConsumerFed.org I. Introduction No one knows exactly how Salmonella Heidelberg infected Noah Craten, but in September of 2013, at the age of 17-months, he was stricken with a persistent fever. His parents sought medical care early and often. Noah did not have the vomiting, bloody diarrhea, or other telltale signs of a Salmonella infection, so Noah’s doctors treated him with antibiotics. They ordered test after test over the course of a month, but to no avail. Noah’s condition deteriorated. Eventually, his doctors admitted him to the hospital, where they discovered a large abscess in his brain that required emergency surgery. It was not until two days after surgeons opened the toddler’s skull that testing identified Salmonella as the culprit. To recover from his surgery, the doctors hooked up Noah to a ventilator and kept him in a medically- induced coma for days. Upon regaining consciousness, Noah began an arduous recovery process that included relearning how to speak.1 Noah was just one of 639 people in 29 states that were confirmed to have been sickened by an antibiotic resistant strain of Salmonella Heidelberg, linked to chicken produced by Foster Poultry Farms (“Foster Farms”).2 Overall, the outbreak likely affected thousands more. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that, for every

The Uneasy Case for Food Safety Liability Insurance John Aloysius Cogan Jr.† INTRODUCTION Food safety liability insurance is emerging as one of the latest trends in market-based food safety regulation. But why? The answer is simple: food is our most dangerous consumer product,1 and our federal and local governments do not fully protect us from its perils. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in six—about 48 million—Americans suffer from foodborne illnesses, such as Salmonella, Norovirus, Listeria, and Escherichia coli (E. Coli), each year. Annually, 128,000 Americans require hospitalization and 3,000 die from foodborne illnesses.2 Many of the survivors of these enteric foodborne illnesses3 are left suffering from chronic and debilitating conditions such as kidney failure, paralysis, and rheumatoid arthritis.4 And beyond the profound physical tolls of † Associate Professor of Law, University of Connecticut School of Law.
