Food Safety Strategies From The Market to the Table Part 4


www.superfoodhealthyliving.com www.superfoodhealthyliving.com Farmers markets have become more common, with 4385 US farmers markets in 2006, up from 1755 farmers markets in 1994, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Eating food shipped from overseas? The melamine-tainted animal feed ingredients came from China. But that doesn't mean that all imported food is suspect. "The assumption that the imported products are unsafe is absolutely not true," Pillai says. "In fact, there are as many outbreaks associated with foods grown in the United States. So blaming it on imported products, I think, is a cop-out." 2. Map your supermarket route. Don't cruise the store aisles aimlessly. Gather nonperishable items first, fresh or frozen goods last. That strategy minimizes the time that perishable goods sit in your shopping cart instead of in a freezer or refrigerator. 3. Be choosy. Select fresh produce that isn't bruised or damaged. Check that eggs aren't cracked. Look for a clean meat or fish counter and a clean salad bar. Don't buy bulging or dented cans, cracked jars, or jars with loose or bulging lids. If fresh-cut produce (such as half a watermelon or bagged salad mixes) is on your shopping list, choose those that are refrigerated or surrounded by ice. 4. Pack it up. At the grocery store, bag fresh fruits and vegetables separately from meat, poultry, and seafood products. www.superfoodhealthyliving.com www.superfoodhealthyliving.com www.superfoodhealthyliving.com
