Food Safety Tips for Handling Raw Produce and Fresh-Squeezed Juices

July 16, 2019

0

SILVER SPRING, Md., July 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Fresh fruits, vegetables, and juices are especially delicious in the summertime. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reminds you that safe handling of produce and fresh-squeezed juice is important because these foods are often consumed raw. Some foodborne disease-causing germs multiply faster in warm weather – making food safety more important as temperatures rise.

Learn more:
https://www.fda.gov/food/buy-store-serve-safe-food/selecting-and-serving-produce-safely
https://www.fda.gov/food/buy-store-serve-safe-food/what-you-need-know-about-juice-safety

To prevent food poisoning (also called foodborne illness) and keep nutritious produce and fresh-squeezed juices safe, follow these food safety tips:

Buy Right

Purchase produce that is not bruised or damaged.
When choosing pre-cut or fresh-cut produce (such as a half a watermelon or bagged salad greens that have been cut), choose items that are refrigerated or on ice.
Keep bagged produce separate from raw meat, poultry, and seafood in your cart and shopping bags.

Wash Thoroughly

Wash produce under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking, and dry with a clean cloth towel or paper towel to further reduce disease-causing germs that may be present.
Even if you plan to peel a fruit or vegetable, wash it first so dirt and disease-causing germs aren’t transferred from the outside to the inside.
Scrub firm produce, such as melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush.
For pre-packaged produce, read the label – if it says pre-washed and ready-to-eat, you can use it without further washing.

Prevent Cross Contamination

Always wash hands before and after preparing food!
Wash cutting boards, dishes, utensils, and countertops with soap and hot water between the preparation of raw meat, poultry, and seafood and the preparation of produce that won’t be cooked.
When using plastic or non-porous cutting boards, wash them in the dishwasher after use.

Prepare Safely

Cut away damaged or bruised areas on fresh fruits and vegetables before preparing and/or eating.
Discard produce if it looks rotten.

Store Properly

Keep perishable fresh-cut produce in a clean refrigerator at 40° F or below.
In the refrigerator, store raw meat, poultry, and seafood so that their juices can’t leak onto produce. Always refrigerate produce that is bought pre-cut or peeled.

Check Your Juice

Young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems (such as transplant patients and individuals with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or diabetes) risk serious illnesses or even death from drinking juices that haven’t been pasteurized or otherwise treated to control disease-causing germs.
Look for pasteurized or otherwise treated products in your grocers’ refrigerated sections, frozen food cases, or in non-refrigerated containers, such as juice boxes, bottles, or cans.
Untreated juices sold in refrigerated cases of grocery or health food stores, cider mills, and farmers’ markets must contain a warning label showing that the product has not been pasteurized. Warning labels are not required for juice or cider that is fresh-squeezed and sold by the glass. If you are unsure if a juice product is pasteurized – be sure to ask!

Tatyana Ali to Host March of Dimes’ New Unspoken Stories Podcast

July 16, 2019

0

ARLINGTON, Virginia, July 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit fighting for the health of all moms and babies, today launched their new podcast, Unspoken Stories: A March of Dimes Podcast, which highlights the real and honest stories of pregnancy, parenthood and loss that are too often left unshared.

The United States is in the midst of a maternal and child health crisis with more than 380,000 babies born prematurely each year, as well as more than 50,000 women experiencing life-threatening complications as a result of pregnancy and childbirth. Our country is the most dangerous developed nation in which to give birth. March of Dimes is working in communities across the country to reduce the rising rates of premature birth, as well as maternal mortality and morbidity.

Hosted by mom, actress and advocate, Tatyana Ali, podcast listeners will hear stories ranging from the joys of parenting to the complexities of dealing with the current maternal and child health crisis. With interviews from actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, mom Petina Dixon-Jenkins who has experienced multiple premature births and loss, and Jay Richardson, a dad recounting his journey facing the realities of parenting a premature baby – the three episode series seeks to convene the amazing community of moms, dads, and families that understand the importance of sharing their experiences.

“Just knowing what other people go through, it just makes you feel exponentially better. And you don’t feel so isolated,” said Sigler. “You don’t feel so cursed. Other people that are good people have to go through it too.”

The podcast will play an integral role in the larger #UnspokenStories initiative launched by March of Dimes in April comprised of a community of parents, medical professionals, grandparents, would-be parents and friends who all want to connect and share with each other one story at a time.

“There is no perfect pregnancy, birth, or parent—and yet we rarely hear the REAL stories,” said Stacey D. Stewart, March of Dimes President and CEO. “This is why March of Dimes started the podcast showing that there are stories to share and people more than willing to share them. Each episode of the podcast features a parent’s honest story about the realities of starting a family. It only takes hearing one story like your own to know you are not alone.”

Unspoken Stories: A March of Dimes Podcast, will feature 30-minute episodes airing every Tuesday beginning July 16.

To listen to and download the podcast, visit: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify. The podcast will also be available at UnspokenStories.org.

For more information about #UnspokenStories and to share your story, please visit UnspokenStories.org, upload your story and engage with others in our community. You can share on social media on your channels or March of Dimes’ Facebook and Instagram pages using #UnspokenStories.
