This document discusses food safety and foodborne illnesses. It provides information on common foodborne pathogens and illnesses, populations at high risk, safe food handling practices, and preventing food contamination. Regulations and standards like the FDA Food Code and HACCP are described. Challenges to food safety from changes in food production and emerging pathogens are also mentioned.

16. THE FDA FOOD CODE is issued by the FOOD and Drug Administration. It outlines the federal governments recommendations for food safety regulations for the food service industry. Health inspectors from state health departments conduct food service inspections of food service establishments. Self- Inspections- A well managed food service operation have frequent self inspections to keep food safe. (CDC, 2011)
17. FOOD Safety Regulations & Standards The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed into law by President Obama on January 4th, 2011. It aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus of federal regulators from responding to contamination to preventing it. (FDA, 2011)

19. The Costs of Foodborne Illness Foodborne illness is much more than the “stomach flu”, and it is a serious health issue and economic burden for consumers. According to the Economic Research Service (ERS) of the USDA, each year $6.9 billion in costs are associated with five bacterial pathogens, Campylobacter , Salmonella , Listeria monocytogenes , E. coli O157:H7, and E. coli non-O157:H7 STEC (2000). These costs are associated with medical expenses, lost productivity, and even death.

My target audience for this presentation is for University students who have an interest in food safety and food science. As well as persons who work in the area of food and nutrition services. Providing the customer the safe, quality, and nutritious food is essential and extremely important for most humans as it is the basis of wellness and and good health. This topic has also been on the increase in the US as food borne illness outbreaks in the US have also increased over the past decade.
FATTOM Food safety training program and personal hygiene of employees The audience will learn these outcomes by the end of this presentation.
National Restaurant association (2005) Servsafe Essentials (5 th ed) Chicago, IL Learning Objectives 1.- Recognize the importance of food safety 2. Recognize the risks associated with high risk populations. 3. Avoiding potential hazards to food safety 4. Understanding how food becomes unsafe 5. Understanding important prevention measures for keeping food safe.
