Uninvited guests

By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Extension Agent, Home Ec Christmas dinner traditionally brings together families and loved ones. But an uninvited gues| ma y also arrive if the proper precautions aren’t taken — food poisoning. Food poisoning results from food that has been improperly stored, cooked or handled than eaten. Food-borne illness can cause diarrhea, vomitting, stomach cramps, and other unpleasant symptoms which can last several hours or even days. With young children and elderly people, the results can be more severe. Often neople mistake food-borne illness for a simple “bug” or virus. The real cause being food that was not properly handled, prepared or served. This can be prevented.

Perishable foods, such as ham, poultry, stuffing, gravy, foods containing milk or eggs, provide good conditions for the growth of harmful bacteria if the temperature is in the range of 40 to 120 degrees F. Bacteria multiply rapidly at 6 degrees F. Therefore, it’s important to keep hot foods hot (above 140 degrees F) and cold foods cold (below 40 degrees F) to assure its safety. This includes food storage, preparation and serving as every time food is handled, it presents a potential problem. Food safety begins at the grocery store. Select high quality food that shows no sign of spoilage. Then, promptly and properly store foods when you arrive home. It’s always a good idea to make grocery shopping the last thing on your list before going home so that the foods will be maintained at a safe temperature until stored. Next is the handling of foods. Keep foods and kitchen clean and safe. Wash hands well before starting preparation and when returning to food after doing something else. Protect food from surface contamination by scrubbing cutting boards and work surfaces and disinfecting in the final rinse with a solution of 1 4 cup’bleach to one gallon of water. Be careful not to crosscontaminate foods. Crosscontamination occurs when bacteria from one food is transmitted to another. Prevent it by using clean utsenils and disinfecting cutting boards between foods. Cooking foods to an internal minimum temperature of 140 degrees F is an assuf-ance” that bacteria cannot multiply. Potentially hazardous food should not be eaten if it has been at room temperature long. The time may vary with the food and the bacteria present, but a good rule is not over three hours includes preparation, storage and serving time. Remember, food may smell, taste and look good, but may not be safe to eat. So take prompt action on those leftovers and store them in the refrigerator. Here are some special safety problems: — are you going to serve roast turkey? Stuffing can be a breeding place for bacteria. Don’t stuff the turkey; cook it separately. After mixing a large quantity of stuffing, cook it immediately. Letting large masses of lukewarm stuffing stand at room temperature encourages bacteria to grow. — Broth and gravy are especially subject to spoilage. Cool leftovers quickly and put them in the refrigerator. Don’t hold broth and gravy more than a day or two. To serve again, reheat and boil for several minutes before serving. Always serve hot. — Cream pies and puddings are often involved in food poisoning. Since cream pies and cream filled pastries get soggy if refrigerated too long, it is a temptation to leave them at toom temperature. DON’T! This encourages bacteria to grow. Fill pastries as close to serving time as possible. Holiday meals are. fun but require special attention to keep it bacteria and food poisoning free. Don’t let the uninvited guest “spoil” your holiday meals. I hope your holidays are HAPPY and FOOD SAFE!
