Organic Food Basic Information for All Organic Food Processors As of October 21, 2002, when the federal organic regulations became absolute law governing organic production, all use of the word "organic" on food product labeling must conform to strict guidelines laid out in the National Organic Program (NOP) rules ( http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop/FactSheets/LabelingE.html Simply stated, ALL food processors with gross annual sales from organic products of greater than $5000 that wish to label their products as "100 Percent Organic", "Organic", or "Made With Organic (specify up to 3 ingredients)" must be certified as organic processors by an accredited certifying agency, a list of which can be found on the USDA web site ( http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop/CertifyingAgents/Accredited.html Food processors that wish to use organic ingredients that will be identified as organic only in the ingredients panel do not have to be certified as organic processors; see the labeling fact sheet (linked above) for specs on this exempt labeling. The USDA ORGANIC logo may only be used on certified products that qualify as "100 Percent Organic" or "Organic."

ORGANIC FOOD Info Technical Services Crop Certification Events NEW! mofga.org WWW Search For Maine Food MOFGA Certification Information Take a Pesticide Quiz and Primer Why Certified Organic Food Is Better Food The Organic Premise: Many people are aware that food that is grown according to organic principles is free from exposure to harmful herbicides and pesticides, but that is only one small aspect of organic agriculture. A larger part of organic agriculture involves the health of the soil and the ecosystem in which crops and livestock are raised. Organic practices recognize that a healthy, vibrant, and live soils and ecosystems significantly benefit crops. Natural, undisturbed soil is alive with microbiotic organisms which exist in harmony together with the native plant life and the inorganic minerals that provide the soil's substrate. Synthetic chemicals (such as herbicides, pesticides, and/or fast acting inorganic fertilizers) applied in or around crops interrupt or destroy the microbiotic activity in the soil. Once the microbiotic activity in the soil has stopped, the soil becomes merely an anchor for plant material. In this "conventional" method of agriculture (in use for only the past 75 years out of 10,000 years of recorded agriculture) plants can receive only air, water, and sunlight from its environment; everything else must be distributed to the plant by the farmer, often from inputs transported thousands of miles to reach the farm. Plants are commonly fed only the most basic elements of plant life and so are dependent on the farmer to fight all of nature's challenges: pests, disease, and drought.

To ensure standards are maintained to a high level in the Hastings district, Hastings District Council is proposing to introduce a new food hygiene inspection programme. Submissions to the Proposed Risk-Assessed Food Inspection Process closed at 4.30pm, on Friday 14 May 2004. All submissions will be heard at a Full Council Hearing 11 June. Go to the Meeting Schedule The proposed programme would involve all food premises in the Hastings district meeting new food safety standards, which have been introduced nationally and internationally. Hastings District Council is looking at introducing a new licensing system which is based on business type and size, potential food safety risk and the number of inspections required.

October 15, 1999 / 48(40);905-913 Achievements in Public Health, 1900-1999: Safer and Healthier Foods During the early 20th century, contaminated food, milk, and water caused many foodborne infections, including typhoid fever, tuberculosis, botulism, and scarlet fever. In 1906, Upton Sinclair described in his novel The Jungle the unwholesome working environment in the Chicago meat-packing industry and the unsanitary conditions under which food was produced. Public awareness dramatically increased and led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act (1). Once the sources and characteristics of foodborne diseases were identifiedlong before vaccines or antibioticsthey could be controlled by handwashing, sanitation, refrigeration, pasteurization, and pesticide application. Healthier animal care, feeding, and processing also improved food supply safety. In 1900, the incidence of typhoid fever was approximately 100 per 100,000 population; by 1920, it had decreased to 33.8, and by 1950, to 1.7 ( Figure 1 ). During the 1940s, studies of autopsied muscle samples showed that 16% of persons in the United States had trichinellosis; 300-400 cases were diagnosed every year, and 10-20 deaths occurred (2). Since then, the rate of infection has declined markedly; from 1991 through 1996, three deaths and an average of 38 cases per year were reported (3).

Methods for Quick-chilling Home Page Consumer Pages Industry Pages About DuPage ... Yellowjacket Alert Why Quick-Chill Foods? One of the major causes of foodborne illness is improper cooling of foods Why the Concern? The longer food remains in the Temperature Danger Zone (140°- 41°F), the greater the chance there is for bacteria to grow. Cooked food must be cooled to prevent the growth of bacteria. Food must cool from 140°F to 70°F in two hours then from 70°F to 41°F in four hours. What to Do? Place large containers in an ice water bath and stir the food every 15 minutes until it reaches 41°F. Change the water and ice frequently. Divide large quantities of food into smaller portions. Use shallow pans and leave uncovered until food reaches 41°F. Stir the food if possible. Place pans in the cooler in an area of good air circulation. Use ice as a substitute for water in the recipe. This method is very effective in soups and other liquid foods. Use a probe thermometer to check food temperatures during the cooling process. Reminder: Never cool foods at room temperature.

The integration of these new techniques into farm to plate quality assurance programs needs to be defined and the effectiveness of the resulting protocols needs to be investigated under applied conditions.
