Be Food Safe: Clean
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/news_&_events/Script_Clean/index.asp
Script:


Intro:
Welcome to USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service Food Safety at home podcast series. These podcasts were designed with you in mind - the consumer - who purchases and prepares meat, poultry and processed egg products for your family and friends.

Each episode will bring you a different food safety topic ranging from safe storage, handling, and preparation of meat, poultry and processed egg products to the importance of keeping foods safe during a power outage.

So sit back, turn up the volume and listen in.

Host:
Welcome to "Food Safety at Home." This is Gertie Hurley with the Food Safety Education Staff of FSIS. I’m your host for this week’s segment.

Today, we have with us Kathy Bernard from the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline. Kathy will discuss some important food safety tips with us today.

Food that is mishandled can lead to foodborne illness. “Kathy, can you tell us a key word to remember to keep our food safe?”

Guest:
Sure. I’d say it’s the word clean. Cleanliness is a major factor in preventing foodborne illness.

Host:
As a consumer, what is my role in this?

Guest:
As a consumer, your role is to make sure that you handle food safely after you purchase it. Everything that touches food should be clean.

Host:
What are some steps consumers can take to help prevent foodborne illness in the home?

Guest:
I’m glad you asked. It’s important to always wash your hands with warm, soapy water

* Before and after handling food.

It’s also important to wash your hands after

* Using the bathroom; or
* Changing a diaper;
* Tending to a sick person;
* Blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; and
* Handling pets.

Remember to always use clean disposable gloves if you have a skin abrasion or infection and wash your hands (gloved or not) with warm, soapy water.

Host:
Okay, I’m in the kitchen preparing the food, what do I need to know now?

Guest:
When preparing raw meat, poultry, fish, and eggs, and before moving on to the next step, thoroughly wash all surfaces that have come into contact with food with hot, soapy water.

Consider using paper towels to clean kitchen surfaces. And if you use dishcloths, wash them often in the hot cycle of your washing machine. Faucets, counter tops, and similar surfaces should also be cleaned by washing them with hot, soapy water.

Host:
That’s right - bacteria are everywhere, cleanliness is very important in preventing foodborne illness.

Guest:
By keeping everything clean that comes into contact with food, you can be sure that you’re reducing your risk of foodborne illness.

Host:
That's it for this week. We have been talking to Kathy Bernard of the Food Safety Education Staff at FSIS. Thank you Kathy for those helpful tips. I’m Gertie Hurley and I’d like to thank you for joining us for this episode of "Food Safety at Home" and remember, “Be Food Safe.”

Outro:
Well, that’s all for this time. Thanks for joining us today for another episode of food safety at home!
