In celebration of World Water Day 2024, let's reflect on the cornerstone of food safety: water. Bellow read the top challenges of managing water in food safety As professionals in food safety, we understand the critical importance of maintaining water quality throughout the entire food production process. From irrigation to sanitation, water plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and quality of our food supply. 1- Microbial Growth: The presence and activity of water in food products can either encourage or inhibit microbial growth. 2- Contamination Risks: Water can be a vehicle for pathogens and chemicals, potentially leading to the contamination of food products. 3- Water availability: Changes in rainfall patterns, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and rising temperatures can exacerbate water-related challenges in food safety Let's continue our commitment to safeguarding this precious resource and upholding the highest standards of food safety. #nunofsoares #iso2000 #fssc2000 #iamaslo #WorldWaterDay #FoodSafety #QualityAssurance

Food Safety Tip of the Week! To prevent cross-contamination, use separate cutting boards for raw meat, poultry, seafood, and ready-to-eat foods like vegetables and fruits. A color code system can help you remember the correct cutting board to use. This simple step can significantly reduce the risk of foodborne illness by keeping harmful bacteria from spreading to your fresh produce and other ready-to-eat items. Be sure to clean and sanitize your cutting boards thoroughly after each use. Have a great week! Follow us for more Food Safety Tips

Busting Food Safety Myths: USDA Insights! Let's debunk a common misconception about freezing food! Did you know? Myth: Freezing food kills all bacteria. Fact: Freezing can inactivate microbes, but it doesn't kill them. Thorough cooking post-thawing is essential for safety. Always use a food thermometer to ensure meat and poultry are cooked to their safe internal temperature. Freezing to 0°F inactivates any microbes in food, including bacteria, yeasts, and molds. However, once thawed, these microbes can become active and multiply, potentially causing foodborne illness. It's crucial to handle thawed foods with care to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria!
