Question

Safety & Sanitation Check: What did you learn? After reading the scenario below, explain a different mistake Linda made for each food safety principle. Do not repeat answers. Linda was excited to make dinner for her family after taking FACS class! She decided to make stir fry to practice cutting techniques. The problem is she didn’t listen closely when her teacher covered the 4 steps to Fight BAC (food safety principles)! After finishing her homework, Linda took out the ingredients and equipment needed for dinner. She cut the chicken into small pieces, just the way her mom does. Next, she used the same cutting board to cut up the vegetables. Linda used fresh bell peppers, onions and carrots. Yum! Linda cooked the chicken until it looked done on the outside, then she cooked the vegetables and added the sauce to complete the dish. She decided they needed some fruit too, so Linda used the cutting board once more to cut up some fresh strawberries. Her family said they liked the stir fry, but there were lots of leftovers (especially the chicken). Linda put the leftovers in a bowl, covered it, and left it on the counter. 1. Clean: 2.

Answer 1

Clean: Linda did not wash the cutting board and utensils between cutting the raw chicken and the vegetables, which could lead to cross-contamination and the spread of harmful bacteria.

Separate: Linda used the same cutting board for cutting the chicken and the vegetables, which could lead to cross-contamination and the spread of harmful bacteria.

Cook: Linda only cooked the chicken until it looked done on the outside, but did not check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure that it was fully cooked, which could lead to foodborne illness.

Chill: Linda left the leftovers on the counter instead of putting them in the refrigerator, which could allow harmful bacteria to grow.

Fires: Never leave cooking food unattended on the stovetop.

Cooking on the stovetop: Always turn pot handles away from the front of the stove to prevent accidental spills.

Using the oven: Use oven mitts or potholders to remove hot dishes from the oven.

Cutting: Always use a sharp knife and cut away from your body to prevent accidental cuts.

Other: Keep flammable materials, such as paper towels or dish towels, away from the stove to prevent fires.

Other: Make sure that all appliances are turned off and unplugged when not in use to prevent electrical hazards.
