![Page 17: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Two ways to achieve greater food safety
ENFORCEMENT
and
EDUCATION
![Page 18: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
EDUCATION
Changing diseases
Changing methods
Changing emphasis
![Page 19: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Education
Ignorance is not an excuse
Trained food handlers know what to doManagement encourages them to do it
Nova Scotia and fellow provinces are adamant on food handler training
![Page 20: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Education is vital to combat outdated ideas that dirt is the primary concern
5% DIRT
20% CROSS CONTAMINATION
75% TEMPERATURE ABUSE
![Page 21: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
As disease causing pathogens will get into an establishment, food safety is summarized in FOUR words:
CLEAN
SEPARATE
Cook
CHILL
![Page 22: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Food Handling

Handwashing
• Cannot be overdone
• Single most important factor in prevention of disease transmission
• Gloves are only a tool
• Hand sanitizers are not a replacement for hand washing
![Page 24: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Allergies and how to deal with them
Know the ingredients used
Use the same ingredients each time
Separate areas to prevent cross-contamination
Respond properly to customer requests
![Page 26: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Audit Goals
• Assess overall food safety status
• Identify areas that require immediate attention
• Develop ways and means to work towards long term demands
![Page 39: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What is happening now?
Owners and operators put in place their own food safety controls.
• have someone in charge to oversee food safety
• address all issues of inspection by NSDAF
• standardize methods
![Page 40: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
More things to do
• assess time and temperature of each method
• ensure staff have thermometers and know how to use and calibrate
• inservice staff on required times and temperatures
• start a system of recording temperatures
![Page 41: FOOD SAFETY Government and Industry Controlling Food Safety Risks Gary Moulton N.S. Dept. of Agriculture Educational Showcase 2006.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55150ae5550346a87d8b47f2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
And Finally
• Train staff to recognize time and temperature problems
• Empower staff to correct or report problems
Document your efforts in such a way that you can prove to anyone from inspectors, to
customers or lawyers that you are doing your best to protect the health of the public.
