  1. “Salmonella Food Safety Awareness and Education for:Parents, Children, School Officials, Food Franchises, Diners and Food Safety Regulatory Agencies” By K. Lavender, RN BSN-Phn, PBMS, Med/MPH Student Walden University, Masters in Public Health Program Professor: Dr. Rebecca Heick

  2. Presentation Agenda Learning objectives for Parents, Children, Schools Officials, Food Franchises, Diners, and Food Safety Regulatory Agencies • Determine what Salmonella is. • Determine how Salmonella is spread. • Learn how to decrease the incidence of Salmonella. • Evaluate your knowledge about Salmonella food borne illnesses in terms of prevention and symptoms. • Determine the treatment for Salmonella. • Learn about the type of resources that are available to assist you in learning about Salmonella prevention.

  3. What is Salmonella and How is it Spread ? What is Salmonella? How is Salmonella Spread? Salmonella is a bacteria that is normally found in human and animal intestines. Individuals become infected by Salmonella by ingesting contaminated foods with it. Individuals that serve food infected with Salmonella can spread it. Food products such as beef, pork, eggs, and vegetables that are contaminated with Salmonella can increase the spread. Salmonella lacks odor in foods and look normal. Reference Center for Disease Control and Prevention. (2009). National center for zoonotic vector-borne and enteric diseases. Retrieved April 19, 2010, from http://www.cdc.gov/nczved/divisions/dfbmd/diseases/salmonellosis/#top • Salmonella is bacteria that causes symptoms such as causes diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain. • Symptoms usually progress within 12-72 hours and illness can last from 4-7 days. • Once the bacteria is ingested from food sources, some people become well at once but others (elderly, ill, and children may require medical assistance) may become very sick. • It is important to seek medical treatment if you feel very ill. Reference Center for Disease Control and Prevention. (2009). National center for zoonotic vector-borne and enteric diseases.

  4. Kids, what is Salmonellaand how is it spread? • Salmonella is spread from food that carries the bacteria. • 1st wash your hands before and after you eat. • 2nd wash your hands with soap and water while you sing the song, “Happy Birthday to you”. • 3rd wash your hands before you eat at school. • 4th wash your hands after you play with dogs, cats, and other pets.

  5. How to Decrease the Incidence of Salmonella Part One • Have all individuals wash their hands with warm water and soap for 30 seconds prior to serving foods . • Have all individuals wash their hands with soap and water for 30 seconds before and after using the bathroom • Wash all counter tops with the proper detergents and warm water (including food utensils, and cutting boards prior to sitting food items on them) Reference Partnership for food safety and education. (2006). Fight bac!: keep food safe from bacteria. Retrieved from http://www.fightbac.org/content/view/7/

  6. How to Decrease the Incidence of Salmonella Part Two • Do not cross-contaminate, wash the cooking area you use to prepare your meals (before and after use) prior to placing another food item in this same area. • Refrigerate all foods at the correct temperatures. • Wash fruits and vegetables prior to serving them and scrub all fruits that have edible skins. • Instruct all individuals and food servers for the public at restaurants, diners, and fast food places to wear plastic gloves when serving foods (sandwiches, salads, and finger foods) Reference Partnership for food safety and education. (2006). Fight bac!: keep food safe from bacteria. Retrieved from http://www.fightbac.org/content/view/7/10/

  7. How Can You Prevent Salmonella, kids? • See the sink at the top, wash your hands in the sink at home and school before you eat. • Do not forget to wash your hands when you come home from school before you go into the refrigerator.

  8. Evaluating The Knowledge About Salmonella for Parents, and School Officials Question For Parents Question For School Officials Are children’s parents responsible for teaching them hand hygiene and not school officials? • If my child becomes sick with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea, do I need to take my child to the hospital?

  9. Answers to Evaluating Knowledge for Parents and School Officials Answers for Parents Answers for School Officials If a student is at your school, it is the school’s responsibility along with the parent to provide teaching about hygiene methods to prevent the spread of Salmonella and other illnesses. Rationale: Effective hand washing for 20-30 seconds with warm water and soap prevents the spread of Salmonella and other illnesses. • If a child is displaying symptoms of nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting, it is important for you to ask what did they eat and when. Rationale: If a child is has been vomiting and has diarrhea, they could become dehydrated. Dehydration in children and the elderly can become life threatening.

  10. Evaluating The Knowledge About Salmonella for Diners and Fast Food Franchises Question for Diner Employees The food you prepare is sometimes made at a fast pace. You do not have to wash your hands because the food you prepare will be fine, correct? Questions For Fast Food Franchises • You are preparing food for a buffet. Before you prepare this food, do you have to wash your hands?

  11. Answers to Evaluating Knowledge for Diners and Fast Food Franchises. Answer for Diner Employees Just because food is made fast, Salmonella and other bacteria can still be caused by the germs on your hands. Rationale: Your hands should be washed at all times when you serve the public even if the food is cooked at a high temperature. Answers for Fast Food Franchise • Prior to preparing any food for consumption you should always wash your hands. • Rationale: Your hands should be washed at all times when you serve the public and go from one station to another.

  12. Suggestions for Governmental Safety Regulators for Foods • Please implement the practice of hand washing in schools, fast food franchises, and diners. • Have each restaurant report illnesses and the public when they become ill. • Have a public health professional visit each school, diner, and fast food restaurant, to administer a state exam to evaluate what they know about Salmonella prevention.

  13. What is the Treatment for Salmonella Food Borne Illnesses? • Please see your medical doctor. • Report the incident to your local department of health and human services. • Parents of children are urged to go to the emergency department if a child has a high fever.
