This document provides information from a food safety class, including defining key terms like disinfectant and transmission. It reviews pathogens and foodborne illnesses, emphasizing proper handwashing and preventing cross-contamination. Indirect transmission through surfaces like knives, spoons and tables is discussed, along with prevention through cleaning and separating raw and cooked foods. Storing meat below vegetables in the fridge and washing produce but not meat is advised. The importance of keeping foods out of the "danger zone" of 4-60°C is stressed.

• Someone coughs on a plate, and does not wash it.
20. More Indirect Transmission Examples
• Group spills chicken juice onto the table, then
touches the table, then touches the
vegetables.
• A group does not wash their table at the end
of class, and the next group uses it to prepare
food.
• Meat stored in the top of the fridge drips onto
vegetables stored below it.
21. Prevention?

• Group spills chicken juice onto the table, then
touches the table, then touches the vegetables.

26. Wash Fruits and Vegetables
• Did you know that—even if you plan to peel fruits
and veggies—it’s important to wash them first
because bacteria can spread from the outside to the
inside as you cut or peel them?
• Here’s how to wash all your produce effectively…
1. Cut away any damaged or bruised areas.
2. Rub away dirt gently in a bowl of cool water.
3. Rinse under running water.
27. Wash Fruits and Veggies, Not Meat!!!
• Washing raw meat and poultry can actually help
bacteria spread, because their juices may splash onto
(and contaminate!) your sink and countertops.
• Meat will be cooked to kill the bacteria, so it does
not need to be washed first.
35. Wrap Up
• Pathogens can be passes directly or Indirectly.
• To prevent indirect transmission, wash dishes
and tables well, and keep your hands away
from your body.
• Danger Zone: 4-60⁰C. Keep food out of
there!!! Cool fast!!! Heat fast!!!
• More than 6 hours in the danger zone
= THROW IT OUT!!!
