Safe and Secure Food and Fiber Systems Safe Food: Field to Fork Managing the check points en route to safe eating. An estimated 6.5 million to 33 million illnesses and 9,000 deaths can be attributed to foodborne diseases annually. The United States spends $5 billion to $6 billion per year combating just eight food-related diseases. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)/ Land-Grant partnership is paying off, however, as research and education programs work together to make food safer for everyone. Payoff Making eggnog safer. Researchers at North Carolina State and Purdue are developing a low-temperature heating process to kill Salmonella in shelled eggs. This would preserve the quality of the eggs while allowing people to enjoy eggnog, sunny-side-up eggs, homemade hollandaise sauce, and other items made with eggs that may not be fully cooked. If just 10 percent of Indiana's annual total of 4 billion eggs were treated to reach this niche market, egg producers could add an estimated $40 million to the state's economy each year. Irradiation works.

MAIL TO: Food and Nutrition Created 5 December 1997 Updated: 24 September 1999 DNS Alert July/August 1999 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION FROM THE DEL UPCOMING EVENTS ... ENCLOSURES FOOD PRESERVATION Pressure Canner and Dial Gauge Inspection Almost 40 Cornell Cooperative Extension educators and staff gathered at the Seneca County office on July 20 to participate in a workshop on research and trends in home food preservation. The workshop featured Elizabeth Andress, food safety specialist at the University of Georgia. Elizabeth is nationally known for her work in the area of home food preservation, so it was a real treat to spend the day discussing this topic with her. At the end of the workshop Elizabeth mentioned how she has developed some checklists to help people assess the condition of their pressure canner and dial gauge. These checklists might be useful as you work with consumers who want to make sure their equipment is ready for the canning season. Enclosed are copies of these two checklists. At the workshop she distributed copies of three "decision trees" or flow diagrams to help extension staff answer questions about the safety of home canned products. The diagrams cover canned low acid food, canned high acid food and canned tomato products. They can help you decide if a product should be thrown out, repacked and reprocessed, or used as is. If you were not at the workshop and would like copies of these handouts, please let me or Donna Scott know.

Georgia's Child and Family Services Federal Review and Evaluation Statewide Assessment, Narrative Responses: May 2001 Section IV: Narrative Assessment of Child and Family Outcomes Subsection B: Permanency Question 2: Georgia's Response: (Amended) In 1999 the data indicates a significant increase (42%) from 1997 in the number of children discharged out of foster care. The state attributes this increase to ASFA implementation. In September of 1998, Georgia initiated a "desk review" of all children in foster care as of July 1998 and began the process of applying/expediting the termination of parental rights provision in ASFA. The data in 2000 shows a slight decrease in the number of discharges during the year. Georgia has very specific policy regarding the removal of children from their homes. Section 2101.3 of the Social Services Manual, addresses "Good Practice Principles" regarding the safety and removal of children from their homes, as well as the rights of parents to responsibly rear their children. Social Services Manual Sections 2102.3 and 2102.4 delineate reasonable efforts (as defined in P.L. 96-272) to prevent a child's placement. A Reasonable Efforts CheckList (Safety Assessment) documents the efforts made to prevent removal of a child. A copy of this checklist is provided to the court to meet requirements of P.L. 96-272. Every deprivation case requires a judicial determination that reasonable efforts were made to prevent or eliminate the need to place the child in foster care and to make it possible for the child to return home.

MAIL TO: Food and Nutrition Created 5 December 1997 Updated 23 February 1999 Timely Topics in Food Safety Current Archived Preparing for Y2K As noted in the introduction to this Alert, many consumers are concerned about possible food shortages when the year 2000 hits so they want to start stockpiling food now. There's also an increased interest in home food preservation as some people want to preserve their own food in advance. While we are not encouraging people to hoard massive amounts of food, we can provide some guidelines for those who want to can their own food and/or prepare an emergency food supply. The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service has prepared a series of fact sheets on Preparing an Emergency Food Supply. Three of these fact sheets are: Storing Water Supplies, Short Term Food Storage and Long Term Food Storage. Although these were developed with Y2K in mind, you'll note that Y2K is not specifically mentioned because these guidelines are appropriate for many emergency situations. These fact sheets and others related to home food preservation can be found on Georgia's web sit at: http://www.fcs.uga.edu/outreach/coopex/

Current Situation Frequently Asked Questions Canning Drying Freezing Jellies ... home page Food Preservation Current Situation Foodborne illness is a major health issue facing Americans. Between 6.5 million and 81 million cases of foodborne illness and as many 9,100 related deaths occur annually. Millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths in the United States can be traced to contaminated food. Illnesses from pathogenic bacteria appear to be increasing each year. The economic devastation of this disease is considerable, with an estimated $420 spent on direct medical costs and $7.3 billion attributed to lost productivity annually. Americans expect many things from their food supply. They want variety and quality; and they want nutritious, safe foods at a reasonable cost. The definition of good quality can be varied depending upon the type of food and the individual's food preference. Some of the important characteristics of quality include wholesomeness, freshness, nutritional value, texture, color, aroma and flavor. To many consumers, safe food means that there will be no danger from pathogenic microorganisms, naturally occurring toxins and other potentially harmful chemicals which may be deliberately added to foods. However, scientists generally agree that microorganisms pose a greater threat to human health than other sources of foodborne illnesses. Foods don't cause illness; bacteria and other pathogens do. However, raw foods of animal origin - meat, poultry, eggs, fish, shellfish - frequently are contaminated with bacteria common in the food chain. In other cases, healthy food handlers may contaminate food with bacteria common in the human body, or diseased food handlers may contaminate food with lesser common pathogens.
