YOUR CHILD HOME Your Child Topics UMHS HOME Food Safety: Preventing Choking and Food Poisoning What do I need to know to feed my baby safely? Your baby should sit up while eating, and be supervised at all times. Teach babies from an early age to “chew” (or gum) food well. Don’t hurry your child when eating—allow plenty of time for meals. Only put a small amount of food on the tray at a time. Avoid peanut butter—it’s a greater allergy risk at early ages, anyway. Avoid round, firm foods and chunks (hot dogs, nuts, meat/cheese chunks, whole grapes, hard or sticky candy, popcorn, raw carrots, other firm, raw fruit or vegetable chunks). Hot dogs are not healthy or safe for babies.  If your toddler likes hot dogs, get a nitrite- and nitrate-free variety, and cut it in long, noodle-like strips. Avoid stringy foods (string beans, celery).

The analysis shows that most outbreaks associated with produce can be avoided by improved handling at the food-service level and better consumer education about food preparation. The analysis also found the majority of food-borne illnesses have been traced to foods other than fruits and vegetables.

However, food contaminated in a restaurant kitchen for example, can result in a large number of people being affected.

Food safety frequently asked questions The California Department of Health Services gets close to 27,000 reported cases of food poisoning each year. Because there are many more cases of food poisoning that are never reported, the actual number of food poisoning cases per year is unknown. The annual incidence of food poisoning nation wide is estimated to be as high as 80 million cases. An estimated 55% of food poisoning cases are caused by improper cooking and storage of foods, and 24% by poor hygiene (not washing hands before handling food). Only 3% of cases are from an unsafe food source. Keeping your hands clean while working with food is the single most important thing you can do to prevent food poisoning. About 20 organisms can cause food poisoning. After eating food contaminated with bacteria, the bacteria multiply in the stomach and the bowels. Some bacteria give off a toxin when they multiply. As a result, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea occur. Vomiting and diarrhea are the body's way of eliminating the toxin. Although the experience is unpleasant, most common cases of food poisoning run their course without needing medical attention. Most cases of gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea) are due to viral infections and are not true cases of food poisoning. Diagnosis of true food poisoning is difficult because the many organisms are found in different kinds of food and all have different incubation periods.

For Immediate Release: April 1, 2004 Related Links: Outbreak Alert! http://www.cspinet.org/foodsafety/inspecting_food.html Keep Updated: Email updates RSS syndication Print Version Contaminated Produce Top Food Poisoning Culprit More Food-Safety Measures Needed on Farms, Says CSPI An analysis of more than 3,500 food-poisoning outbreaks shows that contaminated produce is responsible for the greatest number of individual food-borne illnesses. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) still enthusiastically recommends eating more fresh fruits and veggies, not less. But it also recommends instituting better food-safety practices on farms in America and abroad to help reduce the risk to consumers. “Dirty irrigation water and the use of untreated manure can help spread animal pathogens to fruits and vegetables,” said CSPI food safety director Caroline Smith DeWaal. “While consumers can help minimize risk by careful washing, much of the responsibility for food safety must begin right on the farm.” In November 2003, an outbreak of Hepatitis A was traced back to green onions imported from Mexico. The outbreak resulted in 555 illnesses and 3 deaths—many of which CSPI says could have been prevented with better practices on the farm and a more responsive surveillance system.

Cheese and Listeria Bugs on cooking utensils Raw eggs and salmonella I want to give oysters to my girlfriend for a Valentine's Day treat, but I've heard they can give you food poisoning Although today oysters are considered a luxury, in the past they were eaten by the dozen in poor communities. If you want to eat oysters safely, follow these tips: Choosing Chilling Freezing Cooking Why do soft cheeses such as Camembert carry a risk of Listeria? The cooking temperatures of the curd used in the manufacture of soft cheeses is lower than that of hard cheeses and may not be sufficient to destroy Listeria which may have been present in milk used in manufacture. As soft cheeses are also less acidic and contain more moisture than hard cheeses they are more inclined to allow the growth of such undesirable bacteria. The crust of soft cheeses such as Camembert carries an increased risk of Listeria as, due to a decrease in the acidity level at the surface during ripening, the bacterium grows predominantly on the surface of the cheese and not in the core of the cheese. Could you tell me how long food poisoning bacteria can live on utensils, for example on a knife? If a knife has been used to open a packet containing chicken then put back into the drawer could the germs spread onto other utensils?

July/August 1996 How to Avoid Food Poisoning "I want to tell you about what it's like to survive a severe attack of Salmonella, because there are too many people who have died and can't tell you what it is like. "I got Salmonella from something I ate. The most likely culprits are a chicken sandwich and an undercooked egg salad sandwich. I first got diarrhea which lasted for days and days. Then quite suddenly, the diarrhea stopped. Soon I felt as if there was a red hot brick inside me. "It was the most awful thing I had ever experienced. I knew that I had to go to the hospital. And I knew that I was going to need surgery to live...." Washington, D.C., businessman Bill Adler, Jr. almost died in 1990 after eating Salmonella-contaminated food. "Fifty-five thousand dollars later, I'm as healthy as I was before this happened," he says. The only casualties: the colostomy he had for nearly a year and the four inches that were cut from his colon. Adler was lucky. He lived. Twenty-five Americans will die todayand another 16,000 will become illfrom something they ate. Here are the foods that are most likely to make you sick. (The list doesn't include seafood, which we'll cover in an upcoming article.)

Algae adapted to life in contact with air are found on the surface of rocks, on the bark of trees and at soil. In extreme cases they may survive at 70 C (Cyanophyceae).

Highly Dangerous Dangerous PLANTS It is difficult to give concise information about plant toxicities as there are hundreds of plants that are potentially poisonous to animals . However, actual reports of animals getting seriously ill from eating plants are relatively infrequent compared to reports of poisonings from household products or drugs. The plants discussed below can be found in Minnesota and represent among the most dangerous of poisonous plants. You may notice the conspicuous lack of "holiday plants" among the list. While many people seem to think poinsettias, ivy and mistletoe are dangerous plants, and while these plants have toxic potential, they seldom cause serious clinical signs if eaten. It is worth noting here that dogs and cats often vomit after chewing on plants; this probably does not represent "poisoning" or any dangerous exposure. Only severe or persistent vomiting is a danger sign in small animals. Sporadic vomiting without accompanying signs of illness (for instance, diarrhea, depression, loss of appetite) is rarely a cause for worry, whether associated with plant ingestion or not. The best advice, however, is to contact your veterinarian if you have specific concerns. JAPANESE YEW XXX Taxus cuspidus Plant with similar toxicity: Zygadenus nuttzii , common name Deathcamas.
