The video discusses four key ingredients for food safety: sanitation and cleaning, food handling, temperature control and storage. These messages relate to the Partnership for Food Safety Education messages of clean, separate, cook, and chill. The video reviews each of these elements thoroughly and provides information and tips on each.
For sanitation and cleaning, the video explains proper hand washing and how to make a sanitizing solution. Note: The video advises that you “rinse chicken thoroughly” and shows a man rinsing chicken several different times, however the Dietary Guidelines and MyPyramid recommend not to rinse meat or poultry to avoid cross contamination.
Recommended internal temperatures and an explanation of how to use a food thermometer are provided for safe cooking. While ground beef only needs to be heated to 160 degrees, the video says it should be heated to 160 degrees. In addition, the food thermometer used in the video advises poultry be heated to 180 degrees, while at another point the video says it should be heated to 165 degrees (the recommended safe minimum internal temperature).
The video also reviews safe handling and storage, including how to wash fruits and vegetables and thaw, marinate and store foods safely. It provides a nice introduction or overview to basic food safety. Because it goes over many topics quickly, it would work well as a part of a food safety class or with additional lecture on food safety. It would work well in a class of older teens, adults, older adults, parents and caregivers.
