Sources of Metal Poisoning
• Metals that have leached into foods (especially acidic foods) from metal containers and cooking vessels.
• Candy wrappers from Mexico made with lead• Chicken may contain high levels of arsenic, which is
used as an approved food supplement for chickens to control intestinal parasites.
• Certain species of fish—shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish—have levels of mercury that may be high enough to be harmful to developing human fetuses.

Pesticides in Foods
• Applied to crops to reduce the impact of insects and other hazards, pesticides may leave residues that remain on food crops.
• Dietary sources are one of the principal means of exposure of the population to persistent organic chemicals, which include the family of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls.

Antimicrobials in Meat • Antimicrobials that are similar or identical to those
used by humans are employed for disease prevention and growth enhancement among animals (cattle, swine, poultry, and fish).
• Some U.S.-approved antimicrobials given to food animals:– amoxicillin– penicillin– bacitracin– erythromycin
![Page 41: Chapter 11faculty.fgcu.edu/.../EnviroHealthA/EnviroHealth/Ch11pdf.pdf · 2013-09-08 · Chapter 11 Food Safety.

Why Is the Use of Antimicrobials a Potential Problem?
• Residues of antimicrobial agents may persist in meat that is destined for human consumption.
• Possible indirect toxicity, which causes loss of effective therapeutic interventions (e.g., through microorganisms that are resistant to antimicrobial drugs)
![Page 42: Chapter 11faculty.fgcu.edu/.../EnviroHealthA/EnviroHealth/Ch11pdf.pdf · 2013-09-08 · Chapter 11 Food Safety.

Food Additives • Intentional (direct) additives are added to
foods in order to improve their quality. • Incidental (indirect) additives may be present
in foods as a result of unintentional contamination during packaging, storage, and handling.
• Malicious additives include substances such as poisons that saboteurs introduce into foods for various reasons.

Intentional Additives: Preservatives
• The function of preservatives is to arrest the proliferation of microbes such as bacteria, yeasts, and molds in foods.
• Antioxidants prevent fatty foods from acquiring a rancid taste; they also prevent some foods from turning brown and reduce the loss of vitamins.
• Among the antimicrobial preservatives are nitrates (e.g., sodium nitrate), BHA and BHT, disodium EDTA, sulfites, proprionates, and parabens.

Regulation of Food Safety
• Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the U.S. agency charged with regulation and enforcement of food safety.
• U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates the safety of meat and poultry products.

Foodborne Disease Prevention• Inadequate cooling and cold holding
temperatures is the top risk factor.• Inadequate hot holding temperatures is also a
risk factor.• Safe holding temperatures
– Keep foods above 140˚F for hot foods and below 40˚F for foods that are kept in cold storage.
– The range between 40˚F and 140˚F is the danger zone.

Preventing Growth of Foodborne Pathogens
• Thorough hand washing• Prevention of cross-contamination• Cooking at sufficiently high temperatures• Storing cooked and vulnerable foods at proper
temperatures in a refrigerator

Irradiation of Foods
• During the process, energy from ionizing radiation passes through foods and destroys bacteria and other pathogens.
• Procedure does not cause food to become radioactive.
• Referred to as cold pasteurization• Certified as a safe method for reducing the risk
of foodborne disease

Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP)
• System for reducing the risk of foodborne illness
• Using HACCP, foods are monitored from the time of harvest to the time of consumption.
• Began in the 1950s

Seven Principles of HACCP
1. Perform a hazard analysis. 2. Decide on the Critical Control Points.3. Determine the critical limits.4. Establish procedures to monitor the
critical control points. 5. Establish corrective actions.6. Establish verification procedures. 7. Establish a record keeping system.

Employment Roles in Food Safety• Restaurant inspectors oversee the safety of foods
served in local restaurants. • Epidemiologists investigate outbreaks of
foodborne illness in their communities. • Microbiologists identify microbes that may be
present in foods.• Federal government employs inspectors who are
involved with the processing of food animals.
