value in washing your hands without it? Answer
Yes, the friction of rubbing your hands together
under running water removes dirt and
contaminants.

7
Danger Zone
What does life begins after 40 mean?

8
Danger Zone
Question What does life begins after 40 mean?
Answer Relating to food safety temperatures,
it means that bacteria multiply faster between 40
and 140 degrees and the amount of bacteria may
cause foodborne illness.

9
Wearing Gloves
Are gloves recommended to avoid cross
contamination of foods in your kitchen?

10
Wearing Gloves
Question Are gloves recommended to avoid cross
contamination of foods in your kitchen? Answer
Actually, gloves only separate your hands from
food. The surface of the gloves may become
contaminated with bacteria or meat juices and
spread to other foods and work surfaces. Wearing
gloves may also give a false sense of security or
lead to people not realizing how often they need
to change them.

11
Two Hour Rule

Does the rule mean you can keep food out 2 hours
after eating?

12
Two Hour Rule

Question Does the rule mean you can keep food
out 2 hours after eating? Answer No. The two
hour rule means that you return food to
refrigerator or freezer within 2 hours of
removing it from the refrigerator or oven. This
includes the length of time that the meal lasted.

13
Food Storage
What does the Expiration Date mean?

14
Food Storage
Question What does the Expiration Date mean?
Answer Expiration means do not sell or use
after date listed. Sell by means that you
should buy the product before the date expires.
Best if used by means that the flavor quality
is at its best before the date listed. Use by
means that is the last day that quality can be
guaranteed. It is a good idea to consume that
product prior to that date.

15
Defrosting
Why not defrost on the countertop?

16
Defrosting
Question Why not defrost on the countertop?
Answer When foods are defrosted at room
temperature, the actual temperature of the food
may reach temperatures above 40 degrees.
Portions of the food to be defrosted may be in
fact be a perfect breeding environment for
bacteria, while other portions remain colder.

17
Leftovers
What are 2 reasons to cover leftovers in the
refrigerator?

18
Leftovers
QuestionWhat are 2 reasons to cover leftovers in
the refrigerator? Answer 1- To limit cross
odors in the refrigerator and 2- To keep foods
from contaminating each other, having foods spill
or fall into each other in the refrigerator.

19
Ground Meat
Does cooking ground meat until it is no longer
pink assure its safety?

20
Ground Meat
Question Does cooking ground meat until it is no
longer pink assure its safety? Answer No. The
color of meat is not an indicator that the
internal temperature of the meat has reached a
safe temperature.

21
Egg Safety
How should eggs be cooked to avoid possible
salmonella exposure?

22
Egg Safety
Question How should eggs be cooked to avoid
possible salmonella exposure? Answer Cook eggs
until the white and yolk are both firm. Egg
dishes should be cooked to an internal
temperature of 160 degrees F.

23
Juice Safety
Can I pasteurize juice or cider at home?

24
Juice Safety
Question Can I pasteurize juice or cider at
home? Answer Yes. Unpasteurized cider can be
home-pasteurized by heating it on the stove. The
cider should be heated to at least 160 degrees
Fahrenheit to insure that E. coli O157H7 is
inactivated. If a consumer does not have a
thermometer, the cider can be boiled (cider will
boil at approximately 212 degrees Fahrenheit).

25
Microwave
Which is best, re-heating foods in the
microwave, or on the top of the stove?

26
Microwave
Question Which is best, re-heating foods in the
microwave or on the top of the stove? Answer
Both. Microorganisms can survive heating in the
microwave because heat is applied unevenly in a
microwave and some spots may remain cooler than
others. It takes thorough cooking to kill harmful
bacteria. Reheat to steaming hot in the
microwave and on the top of the stove.

27
What to Pitch?
  • Beyond expiration date
  • At room temperature more than 2 hours
  • Questionable processing

Disaster Preparedness
Question You have been without electricity for
42 hours, how would you answer a mom who asks if
any of the food in her refrigerator is
safe? Answer Milk, meats, mayo, and eggs that
are no longer cold must be discarded. Fruit
juices, hard cheeses, butter, margarine, fresh
fruits and vegetables, jelly, mustard, ketchup,
pickles and olives are all generally safe until
power returns.

32
Disaster Preparedness
Question If there is no electricity what are
safe options for preparing foods? Answer
Fireplace - You can grill food or wrap it in foil
and cook it in the fireplace. Camp stove - Use
this type of stove, which uses propane or butane
fuel, only outside the house. Charcoal grill -
Although usually used to prepare meats, you can
also use charcoal to cook food in foil and
prepare one-pot meals during an emergency. Do
your charcoal cooking outside where there is
plenty of ventilation. Fondue pot or chafing
dish.
