FOOD SANITATION IN ROMANIAN

ANUL UNIVERSITAR: 2015-2016

SEMESTRUL : II
Food sanitation is the practice of following certain rules and procedures to prevent the
contamination of food, keeping it safe to eat. Many jurisdictions around the world have specific
food sanitation laws, along with lists of regulations created by public health agencies. The
practice of food sanitation is recommended at every step of the supply chain within the food
industry, from workers in crop fields to waiters at restaurants. The term "food sanitation"
typically refers to rules and procedures within the food industry, whether during production,
packaging, transporting or serving. At the consumer level, such as in a home kitchen, practices
designed to ensure that food is uncontaminated and safe to eat are often referred to using the
term "food hygiene."

Food Safety Issues

From the moment that food is produced or harvested to the time that it is eaten, it is vulnerable to
contamination from bacteria and other substances that could be harmful. The key to food
sanitation is keeping food safe and clean, with all of its handlers complying with the necessary
rules and recommendations. These rules concern things such as safe holding temperatures for the
food; safe cooking temperatures; sterilization of cutting boards and other implements; proper
attire for handlers, such as gloves and breathing masks; and times or dates by which the food
should be eaten, served or sold.

Sanitation Within the Food Industry

Within the commercial food industry, food sanitation can get complex. A single mistake along
the supply chain could make many people sick from eating contaminated food. For example, if a
deli worker failed to wash his or her hands after using the restroom and then prepared a dozen
boxed salads, many customers could get sick from fecal bacteria on the leaves of the salad
greens. If a case of meat at a packaging plant was not stored at the proper temperature, it could
be sold, transported and then served in a restaurant, possibly making the restaurant's customers
sick, even if the restaurant followed all of the proper food sanitation guidelines. Within many
jurisdictions, any business that produces food or sells it to consumers must pass regular
inspections that ensure that all sanitation laws and procedures are being followed.

Common Problems
Outbreaks of foodborne illness because of poor food sanitation are a recurrent problem in many
regions of the world. Failure to process foods properly has led to sickness from foods such as
peanut butter, spinach, hamburger meat and many other basic staples, and outbreaks have been
traced to restaurants, roadside food stands and many other locations where food is sold or served.
Even institutions such as churches and community bake sales are not exempt from food safety
issues, making it important for people to remember to use handling precautions every time they
come into contact with food. Information about food safety is available from many government
agencies and health organizations.
