I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.
We had to Watch this video and note learn and understand
more about bacteria and how it can affect us.
Food safety is essential to lower the risk of food sickness.
What is the difference between Hygiene and Personal Safety?
Food safety covers all aspects of ensuring that food is safe for a person to eat, whereas food Hygiene usually more specifically concerns foodborne illnesses, which arise because of primarily bacterial contaminants.
When we use chicken what are some key things you need to remember to ensure your food is safe to eat?
-Chicken meat should not be washed
- raw chicken should be stored in the refrigerator
- Clean boards, hands, Knives, Fridge, Storage, and containers.
- Cook chicken thoroughly
- Separate chicken and other foods in the fridge and during preparation, so raw chicken juices do not come in contact with other foods.
-Use separate utensils, especially boards, for raw meat and uncooked foods, like fruits and salad vegetables.
What is bacteria?
Bacteria are small living things that can be found in all natural environments. They are made of a single cell. Most bacteria can be seen only with a microscope. Most bacteria aren't dangerous, but some are and can make us sick. These bacteria are called pathogens. Pathogens can cause diseases in animals and plants.
What do bacteria need to survive?
Like all living things, bacteria need food, water and the proper environment to live and grow. The food product itself supplies the food and water needed for bacterial growth.
Give three examples of how we avoid spreading bacteria?
- Cover your nose and mouth with a
tissue when sneezing, coughing or
blowing your nose.
-Always wash your hands after sneezing, blowing your nose, coughing, after using the restroom,and before handling food.
What does the term cross contamination mean and what is its effect on you?
Cross-contamination is defined as the transfer of bacteria from one substance to another.
For example, adding unwashed, contaminated lettuce to a fresh salad can contaminate the other ingredients.
Not all bacteria are harmful, and some bacteria that live in your body are helpful. For instance, Lactobacillus acidophilus - a harmless bacterium that resides in your intestines - helps you digest food, destroy some disease- causing
