    Study Notes

    Introduction to Food Safety

    • Food safety ensures that food does not cause harm when prepared or consumed as intended (Food Safety Act of 2013, R.A. 10611).
    • Recognizes threats to food safety, likening certain microorganisms to "terrorists" of food.

    Key Microorganisms Impacting Food Safety

    • Salmonella: A common bacteria that causes foodborne illness.
    • E. coli non-O157: A variant of E. coli responsible for food-related diseases.
    • E. coli O157:H7: A harmful strain often linked to serious outbreaks.

    Foodborne Illness Overview

    • Intoxication: Illness caused by exotoxins produced by bacteria; short onset period (e.g., Botulism, Staphylococcal Gastroenteritis).
    • Infection: Illness resulting from ingesting live bacteria that grow in the intestinal tract; often longer onset time.

    Factors Affecting Food Contamination

    • Human Hygiene: Billions of microorganisms reside on and around humans, influencing contamination risk if proper aseptic techniques are not followed.
    • Type of Foods: Characteristics including physical properties and chemical composition can lead to contamination.
    • Environment: Conditions such as temperature, pH, and humidity significantly affect microorganism growth.

    Essential Microbial Growth Conditions

    • Microorganisms require specific conditions for growth, as outlined in relevant food safety standards.
    • Reference standards include FDA Circular No. 2013-10 and Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water 2007.

    Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)

    • Outlines methods, equipment, and standards for producing safe and uncontaminated food.
    • Food produced in unsanitary conditions is classified as adulterated and unfit for consumption.

    Importance of Personnel Hygiene

    • Proper training in hygiene, handling, and safety practices is crucial for all personnel.
    • Individuals with foodborne illness should not enter food processing areas to prevent contamination.

    Handwashing Protocols

    • Follow proper handwashing techniques: rinse with clean, warm water; use soap and rub for at least 20 seconds; dry hands thoroughly.
    • Warm water is preferred as it enhances the removal of fatty soils and aids in soap effectiveness.

    Additional Handwashing Considerations

    • Focus on areas under fingernails and between fingers when washing.
    • Avoid recontamination by using single-use towels or devices to turn off faucets and open doors.
