BY DR.. ROBERT A o C
Health Commissioner

Again and again, the warning
has been given that bacteria will
multiply on food at normal room
temperatures. But what are the
temperatures at which food car
be preserved safely? What tenn
peratures are necessary to sani-
tie utensils? How much heat
does it take to kill bacteria? How
much cold to stop its growth?
In the process of Pasteurizing
milk - destroying harmful bac-
terra which might be present -
it has been found hal keeping
the milk at 143 degrees Fahren-
heit for 80 minutes is safe.
BY the same token, it is sug-
gested that other food being heat
ed or kept warm for later serv-
ing should be kept at about $50
degrees. Anything less might per-
NIT bacteria to develop on the
food. And bacteria can get onto
the food from a multitude of
sources, even from the air itself.
Cool Rapidly
If food is not to be served i'm
mediately and there is no need
for keeping it hot, it should be
cooled as rapidly as possible to
a temperature of 40 degrees or
less. This can be done by placing
it Immediately in a refrigerator
after removing it from a stove.

Toward Your Better Health
Temperatures for Sanitation,
Preservation OF Food Discussed

AT temperatures above so de,
grees and under l25 degrees bac.
terra are very comfortable. Their
colonies grow fast,
For sanitizing utensils, hanc
w washing is not satisfactory
About the highest temperature
the hands can stand is 125 de-
grees. This is not sufficient to kill
germs which. may be present or
the utensils.
Washing in water at 125 de-
grees is satisfactory for breaking
down and removing fats and
greases. But after this is done.
the utensils should be rinsed,
then placed in clean water of
ITO degrees for at least two min
utes.
Temperatures properly en-
ployed, will do much to prevent
infections borne by food.
Basic Rules Offered
Here are four basic rules for
reducing the danger of food poi
soning:
|. Keep all utensils and con-
tanners with which food has con-
tact clean and saaitized.
2. Follow recommended food
handling practices by keeping
hands clean, controlling coughs
and sneezes, not handling food
when you have infected cuts,
pimples and sores which might
be a source for bacteria causing
