The debate about whether to serve full cream milk in aged care is one of those issues much like the use of sugar free diets (which incidentally don’t ex-ist). Let’s look at full cream milk a little more closely and get the big picture.

Milk is an important component of a balanced food intake. It is considered one of the world’s most ‘complete’ foods and rich dietary source of calcium. The nutrients in diary foods can help prevent dental cavities, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, stroke and kidney stones. Milk contains over ten essential nutrients as shown in the table (left).

Full cream milk or not full cream milk, that is the Question............ So what is the answer?

Nutrition in Aged Care

As you can see milk provides a wide range of nutri-ents and each one of these is important maintaining good health.

Milk is white in colour due to the milk protein Casein which reflects light, giving milk its whiteness. In Australia we have a wide range of milks in which to choose from and some of these have added health benefits like the inclusion of vitamin D and milks designed for additional bone support.

Let’s look at the fat content In the table below you can see the amount of fat in milk. For an average glass of full cream milk 250ml has the following fat content:

Fat total 9.7gSaturated fat 6.438gPolyunsaturated fat 0.258gMonounsaturated fat 2.57g

Saturated fat is the largest component of total fat; however, milk does contain a large amount of monounsaturated fat as well. Another important point about milk is that it contains a good source of protein; one glass will provide 8.5g of protein and is a good source of energy. Studies have shown that drinking 2 to 3 glasses of milk everyday is beneficial and that all types of milk can have a beneficial af-fect on heart health.

One of the major issues in aged care is that often the elderly are generally not large eaters, the por-tion size tends to decrease and weight loss can be a serious problem. Full cream milk just provides that little bit of extra energy and protein intake, so therefore it should be the milk of choice for drinking and cooking. This is especially true for residents who have poor appetites, reduce food intake or have lost weight. For those residents who are over-weight then reduced fat milk is a good product to use as it still provides a good but reduced source of protein and calcium.

What do we do if people cannot drink milk? Firstly there are lactose reduced dairy products available which can often be used as a good dairy substitute as well as soy, nut and rice milks. In Aus-tralia soy milks are fortified with calcium making one glass of soy milk equivalent to one glass of cow’s milk in terms of calcium.

What do you do if the resident does not enjoy drink-ing milk, but is fine with other dairy products? Then it is important to ensure that full cream versions of these are used, for example, full cream yogurt, custard and ice cream. More importantly cook with full cream milk to maximise its uptake with sweets and sauces.

How can milk be used in aged care? Firstly offering glasses of milk throughout the day is a good way of not only increasing calcium but offering a fluid. If plain milk is not popular then offer, flavoured milk or even milk shakes made with fruit. Desserts on the menu are really important in aged care as not only are desserts popular to eat but also can be made from milk and provide a high calcium source.

Milk is an important food, containing essential nutrients and provides one of the main sources of calcium in our diets. In age care milk is an essen-tial food, can be used in so many different ways throughout the menu and for added energy use full cream milk.

The potato plant is a factory that catches sunlight and produces 50 tonnes or more of nutritious tubers (potatoes) per hectare. However, the productivity of traditional varieties relies on the application of fungi-cides, fertilisers, and irrigation water.

The Simplot potato program began the search for low impact varieties ten years ago, and we are very excited about two new varieties — Bondi and Moonlight — which were bred by NZPFR (New Zealand Plant and Food Research). The benefits include greatly reduced nitrogen and potassium fertiliser inputs, resistance to fungi, and improved water efficiency.

This adds up to a smaller environmental footprint and lower CO2 emissions for the production of the potatoes used in Edgell and Gardenland products.

Bondi was named after its ability to thrive on sandy soil. It produces long, white-fleshed tubers which are ideal for making crispy French fries. Over the last 3 years of commercial testing it has produced

The Humble Spud - Bondi Beauties - new varieties, lower environmental footprint, larger & faster growth, less fungacides - better for you, better for the environment.

Simplot

heavy crops with no fungicide sprays and with a big cut in applied fertilisers. In 2009/10 an area of Bondi grown with no added fertilisers or chemicals achieved a medium yield of high quality tubers.

Moonlight produces a heavy set of oval tubers which are used to make wedges with an even shape, great mouth-feel, and a real potato taste. Moonlight shares Bondi’s lower need for fertiliser and chemical sprays, with the added bonus of mi-serly water use—about 1.5 mega-litres less water is applied per hectare.

Simplot continues to work with potato breeders around the world, aiming to bring the best varieties to our customers.

The topic of date marking can be complex, Bidvest have prepared a short summary to help make read and using date marking in your facility

Bidvest

Food must be date marked1. Unless otherwise expressly prescribed in this

Code, the label on the package of food must includes –

a. Its use-by date, where the food should be consumed before a certain date because of health or safety reasons; b. The best-before date of the food is two years or more; or c. The food is- i. An individual portion of ice cream or ice confection; or ii. In a small package, except where the food should be consumed before a certain date because of health or safety reasons.

The label on the package of bread with a shelf life less than 7 days, may include instead of a best-before date – a. Its backed-on date; or b. Its backed-for date.

Food must not be sold past its use-by date.

If you have any questions about date marking of foods supplied by Bidvest Foodservice, please visit www.bidvest.com.au.

Bidvest receives many queries in relation to the use of date marking on product. Particularly in relation to canned products that do not have any date mark-ings. Bidvest has provided the following for your assistance; we hope it helps to resolve any queries you may have.

The following is an extract from the Food Standards Code from Food Standards Australia New Zealand in relation to Date Marking of food (i.e. Baked On/For, Best Before and Use by Dates).

Æ Bread has a shelf life of seven (7) days and a “baked on” or “backed for” date is quite ac-ceptable under legislation;

Æ Product that has more than two (2) years shelf life does not require date marking (i.e. “Best Before” or “Use by...”); and

Æ Product that has exceeded its “use by” date cannot be sold or used once that date has been exceeded.

Date marking is the responsibility of the manufac-turer, who decides on which date method is the most appropriate. It is the manufacturer who deter-mines the shelf life of a product. If a product sold without a date marking, in particular canned food, then the manufacturer has determined that the product has a shelf life of greater than two (2) years and the product can be safely consumed unless the packaging has been compromised (i.e. damaged).

Standard 1.2.5 Date Marking of Packaged FoodBaked-on date, in relation to bread, means the date on which the bread was baked.Best-before date, in relation to a package of food, means the date which signifies the end of the peri-od during which the intact package of food, if stored in accordance with any stated storage conditions, will remain fully marketable an will retain any spe-cific qualities for which express or implied claims have been made.

Use-by date, in relation to a package of food, means the date which signifies the end of the estimated period if stored in accordance with any stated storage conditions, after which the intact package of food should not be consumed because of health and safety reasons.

Four out of five principle tastes are affected by age, how can we use this knowledge to entice the appetite of the elderly?

Bring back the Joy of Food : Boost the flavour

adding herbs, spices, MAGGI stocks and boosters. Soup powders can also be used to enhance flavour in savoury dishes. Nestle Professional has a versa-tile range of 23 delicious soups that can be added to a variety of dishes. When salt perception is re-duced in the elderly we need to consider the priority of maintaining an adequate food intake; therefore it may be recommended that a little extra salt be added to foods to enhance appetite.

Nestle Professional has a versatile range of deli-cious soups and boosters that are a great way to enhance flavour in savoury dishes.

The sense of taste in the elderly As we age our sense of taste can diminish, which can have a negative on appetite and food intake. Studies have found that there are considerable differences between young and elderly people in their sensory perception and pleasantness of food flavours¹ with more elderly people commenting on the weakness of the smell or taste of the foods².

A number of medical conditions (e.g. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease) in addition to medication can alter taste and smell. While disorders in taste affect just 0.6% of the population when it comes to those over 65 years of age, this can increase up to 40% ³.

What is taste and how is it affected?The sensation of taste is detected in taste buds, which are located not only on the tongue, but also in the soft palate of the mouth, parts of the throat and oesophagus (food pipe). Saliva plays a key role as it dissolves the flavour particles to allow the taste buds to sense the taste. As we age, our sensory taste cells remain intact but it is thought that the changes in our saliva actually affect taste percep-tion.

We have 5 principle tastes: bitter, salty, sour, and sweet and Unami (often described as savoury). Four of these are affected by ageing: bitter, salt, and sour and to a lesser extent, sweet. For elderly people who must take multiple medications, salt taste is the most affected³.

To entice appetite, boost the flavour of foods With reductions in both taste and smell as we age, it is no wonder the joy of food can be lost. This can result in alterations in food intake and can increase the risk of malnutrition in the elderly.

Savoury dishes can be enhanced in flavour by

We may not experience it every day of the week, but sometimes our motivation and energy levels can dwindle significantly in the hours after lunch. Why?

Beat the afternoon slump

We may not experience it every day of the week, but sometimes our motivation and energy levels can dwindle significantly in the hours after lunch. Why? It has a lot to do with the natural rhythms of our body – we have a biological tendency to hit an energy lull in the afternoon. But it’s also related to our diet – when our blood sugar drops after we have digested a meal it can make us feel tired and lethargic.

The good news is that there are plenty of simple things you can do to beat the afternoon slump. Here are just a few of our favourites:

Eat well: Start your day off with a good breakfast and eat a nutritious lunch – it really helps with the energy levels in the afternoon. Aim for foods that give you sustained energy. Try to have a wholegrain cereal with at least three grams of fibre per serve in the mornings, and for lunch try wholegrain bread with hummus spread and plenty of salad.

Get active: Even if you only have 10 minutes, mov-ing your body will make you feel more energetic. If you work in an office, go for a quick walk around the building or have a stretch and take some deep breaths at your desk. And, if you can, head out into the sunshine during your lunch break – the sun’s rays can help fight fatigue later in the day.

Make snacks count: Before you reach for a cup of coffee, soft drink or a cup of tea to give you a boost – think about the dip in energy that will come after the short burst. When it comes to energy, it’s much better to snack on fruit and yoghurt, or a

dried fruit and nut mix with apple, apricot, walnuts and almonds, which will help with the energy levels throughout the entire afternoon. Fruit smoothies are also a great choice.

Nap and sleep: For the best way to beat the after-noon slump, researchers actually recommend a 15 minute power nap when you start feeling tired. Un-fortunately for most of us this is not an option - but making sure you get enough shuteye in the evening is also a good way to help keep your eyes open in the afternoon. Try to get yourself into a routine of going to bed at a certain time each night and wak-ing up around the same time each day.

Did you know

While most forms of E. coli are harmless, there are a few strains that can cause very serious food borne illness.

Diversey

The organismEscherichia coli is a type of bacteria that is com-mon in the guts of humans and other warm blooded animals. While most forms of E. coli are harmless, there are a few strains that can cause very serious food borne illness. One of the types that can cause illness is a subclass that is called Enterohaemor-rhagic E. coli or EHEC. EHEC were first identified as a public health risk in the early 1980s and one of the factors responsible for the illness caused by EHEC is the ability of these organisms to produce a toxin that is very similar to the toxin produced by Shigella (the causative agent of the illness dys-entery). Note that other terms for this same group of bacteria include Shiga Toxin-producing E. Coli (STEC) or verocytotoxic E. coli (VTEC). These all generally refer to the same group of microorgan-isms.

The illnessSymptoms of the diseases caused by EHEC in-clude abdominal cramps and diarrhoea that may in some cases be bloody diarrhoea (hemorrhagic colitis). Fever and vomiting may also occur. The in-cubation period can range from three to eight days. Most patients recover within 10 days. However in a small proportion of patients, particularly young children and the elderly, infection with EHEC can lead to a far more serious illness. The infection may lead to a life-threatening disease called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS is characterized by acute kidney failure. It is estimated that up to 10% of patients with EHEC infection may develop HUS. HUS has a fatality rate that ranged from 3% to 5%. Overall, HUS is the most common cause of acute renal failure in young children. It can cause neuro-logical complications (such as seizure, stroke and coma) in 25% of HUS patients. In those that survive HUS about 50% of them can experience chronic long term renal problems. However in this outbreak it seems 70% of those affected are adult women. (REF: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs125/en/index.html).

Not only is the illness caused by this type of organ-ism very serious, the number of organisms needed to make an individual ill is very small. The US Food and Drug Administration has stated that ingesting as few as 10 bacteria to make an individual ill (Ref: FDA Bad Bug Book) so preventing contamination of food with this organism is critical to controlling the illness.

How does EHEC spread?EHEC live in the guts of ruminant animals, includ-ing cattle, goats, sheep, deer, and elk. The major source for human illnesses is food that has been contaminated with feces from cattle. Although, other kinds of animals including pigs and birds some-times pick up EHEC from the environment and may spread it. Infections start when you swallow EHEC—in other words, when you get tiny (usu-ally invisible) amounts of human or animal faeces in your mouth. Unfortunately, this happens more often than we would like to think about. (REF: http://www.cdc.gov/nczved/divisions/dfbmd/diseases/ecoli_o157h7/ )

A wide variety of foods have been linked to out-breaks of EHEC. These include undercooked ground beef, unpasteurized apple cider, and a variety of dairy products. Also implicated more and more commonly are raw fruits and vegetables such as lettuce, peppers, spinach, sprouts, and tomatoes. Although this is a food borne illness, it is possible to spread this illness person-to-person, particularly if good hand hygiene practices are not followed. An asymptomatic carrier state has been reported, where individuals show no signs of dis-ease but are capable of infecting others. The dura-tion of excretion of EHEC is about one week or less in adults, but can be longer in children.EHEC can also be found on surfaces and in water that is contaminated with faeces.

Did you knowPreventing the illnessThe CDC and WHO both have five recommenda-tions for preventing this illness that can be summa-rized with these 6 points:1. First on both lists is to clean your hands. It is

absolutely critical to wash or disinfect hands after going to the bathroom, after handling raw produce or meat, before handling any food, and before eating. Hand disinfection provides a better kill of bacteria than hand washing and is thus preferred over hand washing at any time. Hand washing remains mandatory for removing visible soil from hands.

2. Be sure to clean and disinfect any food contact surface before food is placed onto that surface. Prevent cross contamination by

separating raw and cooked food and by wash-ing produce thoroughly and washing and dis-infecting food contact surfaces and equipment used for food processing and preparation.

3. Cook food thoroughly. Heating to 70ºC (160ºF) will inactivate EHEC. When cooking food it is important to use a food thermom-eter as color is not always a good indicator of cooking temperatures.

4. Avoid unsafe water. Always make sure that the water you are using for cooking and cleaning is safe and potable.

5. Store food at a safe temperature. Keep cold foods cold (below 5ºC) and hot foods hot (above 60ºC).

6. It is critical to wash or disinfect hands before eating.

The most frequently asked questions about the Australian Chicken Industry, M&J Chickens and the chickens they produce...

M&J Chickens

Are Australian chickens kept in cages?Australian meat chickens are not kept in cages. They are raised in large sheds that are environmen-tally controlled and in which they are free to roam around.

Are chickens fed hormones in Australia?Australian chickens are not fed hormones. Nor are they administered hormones in any other way. Their rapid growth occurs naturally due to selective breeding and optimal nutrition. Independent tests by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forest-ry, as part of the National Residue Survey, confirm that Australian chicken meat is free of added hor-mones.

Does Australia import poultry meat?No, all poultry meat consumed in Australia is grown domestically. To protect the local birds from dis-eases, raw chicken meat and live birds cannot be imported. Some cooked chicken meat, mainly as an ingredient to processed food, e.g. canned soup or animal food, may be imported but only if the chicken meat is processed in accordance with strict protocols (prolonged exposure to high tempera-tures) to ensure that there is no unacceptable risk to Australian poultry or consumers.

How many meat chickens are produced in Aus-tralia?An annual total of about 490 million chickens are produced and processed for chicken meat. This equates to more than 750 million kg of chicken

meat. Consumption (and production) of chicken meat has steadily increased over the past 50 years to now reach about 33kg per annum and person, roughly equal to the consumption of red meat.

Do you need to have a rooster for chickens to lay eggs?No, you do not need a rooster for a hen to produce eggs. A hen will lay (unfertilised) eggs irrespective of whether there is a rooster on the scene or not. All commercial eggs you buy in the supermarket (or any other retail outlet) have been produced this way i.e. they are all unfertilized eggs. A hen produces the same number of eggs if there is no rooster around than she would if there were a rooster around.However, the only way you can get an embryo growing in an egg (and chickens hatched from an egg) is to have the hen’s ovum fertilized by sperm from a rooster while it is in the hen’s shell gland. To produce fertile eggs from which you can hatch chicks, therefore, you need a rooster.

Pacific West broke new ground by being the first to offer MSC certified sustainable seafood products to the foodservice sector in Australia.

Pacific West

Pacific West is playing a leading role in transform-ing the seafood market to a more sustainable basis by becoming the first seafood supplier to offer food-service providers with the choice of putting Sustain-able seafood as certified by Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) on their menus.

The new range will be sold under the “Sustain-able Harvest” brand; Pacific West is now sourcing the fish for its original tempura range of products from an MSC certified hake wild captured fishery in South Africa, and these products will now bear the MSC blue ecolabel.

Marketing Manager of Pacific West, Cindy Eska-rous says: “Pacific West are happy to show initiative in doing our part towards preserving our Marine life. We’ve always been deemed to be doing the right thing with our fisheries and in managing resources but we’ve also gone the next step by getting certifi-cation by MSC.”

Patrick Caleo from MSC says “Pacific West has been ahead of the game in this regard and must be commended for this. By offering MSC certified prod-ucts - through its Sustainable Harvest brand - Pacif-ic West is the first to provide foodservice companies in Australia with the opportunity to serve wild-caught seafood that is certified as sustainable,”

Pacific West has proven itself sustainable against the world’s most rigorous science based standard for sustainable fishing practices. This standard evaluates the state of the fish stocks being sort, the environmental impacts of the fishery and whether there are effective overarching governance systems in place to manage it.

Æ 100% Sustainable Capensis Hake Fillets Æ No off cuts or compromise Æ Sea frozen from a wild capture fishery in

South Africa

Since 1995, Pacific West has become one of Aus-tralia’s foremost suppliers of premium frozen sea-food and Asian pastry products. Church Resources is proud to be partnered with Pacific West, working to create a Sustainable Seafood option for your facility’s menus.

Prepared Foods - New Package sizeChurch Resources Preferred Partner, Prepared Foods Australia, has introduced new packaging sizes and expanded their breakfast, vegetable and dessert options for their popular Health Cuisine range of pureed protein and vegetables.

All pureed products will now be available in 1.8kg trays and 120g bowls in response to customer de-mand for more flexible product size options.

The 1.8kg trays are suitable for medium to large scale facilities and can be heated in the tray in all conventional and steam ovens. The 120g bowls have been developed with smaller facilities in mind and are suitable for all conventional and steam ovens as well as microwaves.

New pureed meal options include porridge, brus-sel sprouts, pumpkin and sweet potato (previously available separately), pumpkin with dairy-free mar-garine (nuttlex) and new pureed desserts cheese cake and carrot cake. All products are available in both 1.8kg trays and 120g bowls.

With the addition of the products the Health Cuisine puree range now offers food service managers complete meal solutions from breakfast to dessert.PFA’s National Sales Manager Ken Hartley said “The new packaging formats will help health and aged care facilities to better manage inventory, improve waste control and reduce labour and han-dling costs. Moving from the 1kg bag to the larger

1.8kg ovenable tray means reduced handling in the kitchen. The tray can also go straight into the oven and once heated meals can be decanted direct from the trays onto the plate.

“For smaller facilities getting food service right can be a balancing act with fluctuating patient numbers, so the 120g bowl option cuts down on wastage and labour associated with storing and preparing large amounts of food,” he said.

Mrs Macs - What is Angus?Scotland produced the first breed of Angus way back before the 1820’s. The Angus breed was cre-ated by interbreeding closely related breeds native to the shires of Aberdeen, Kincardie and Angus. In Australia, the Angus breed wasn’t imported until the 1820’s where Tasmania was the breeds first home. The Australian “mainland” first became home to An-gus Cattle in the 1840’s, and from which the breed is now found in all Australian States and Territories.

The Angus Cattle are polled, which means they are naturally without horns. They can be born as either a red or black colour, although the black is far more dominant in this breed. The breed has become one of the most popular for beef farmers as they are incredibly fertile and the bulls have quite a high con-ception rate. Together with the fact that puberty is reached quickly, breeding of Angus Cattle is rela-tively successful.

The other main reason for the success of Angus production is that the meat is revered as one of the best meats available on the market. The Angus breed reaches maturity quite quickly, which allows their muscles to develop with minimal wear. This creates a meat that is quite tender, holds together during cooking and produces more “marbling” than standard beef which results in better taste and texture.

There is no surprise that when the fast food chains, particularly McDonald’s, launched an Angus prod-uct, there was instant success. It would seem that Angus Beef is commonly seen as a “premium” beef breed and has greater quality in terms of the fla-vour. The initial success of the McDonald’s Angus products has rocketed Angus Beef into one of the best known breeds, and sought after, in Australia.

From McDonald’s success, Australians have wit-nessed a mini “boom” in terms of the number of different food businesses offering an Angus vari-ant. Other fast food outlets like Hungry Jacks also have incorporated Angus menu items due to its increasing popularity and many pie manufacturers also now offer some kind of Angus product in their range.

Mrs Mac’s are proud to announce the launch of their new Angus Steak Pie. It is not a “me too” product though - no Certified Black Angus or Scot-tish-based marketing here! Mrs Mac’s use Verified Angus sourced from the beautifully temperate and lush South-West region of Western Australia, where award-winning wines and cheeses come from!The Mrs Mac’s NEW Angus Steak Pie:

Æ Verified Angus Beef sourced from the South-West “The Best from the South West”.

Æ Large diced steak pieces, slow cooked for a true home-baked gourmet flavour.

Æ Generous 280g pie Æ Finished off with a sprinkle of cracked black

pepper for great visual appeal

The Store for Holy Family Social Services Starting with a meeting between the Church Re-sources Victorian Business Development Manager, Damian Jardine and the Jesuit Social Services head office in Melbourne, the Church Resources involvement with The Store at Emerton (near Mt Druitt) in New South Wales began as simply a way to purchase cheaper bread and dairy through the Church Resources Preferred Partners, Goodman Fielder and Lion (then, National Foods); the rela-tionship has grown to something far greater.

The Store serves the wider community with afford-able food Monday to Saturday. More importantly The Store also serves as a TAFE Training Centre, offering retail students the practical component required to complete the Retail Certificate II course, and soon to be expanded to offer Food-handling and Barista Certificates. Upon the successful com-pletion of the certificate, selected students are able to complete a period of employment at The Store concluding with a formal reference and assistance into the greater workforce via affiliated Job Service providers. In its first year of operation 52 people undertook accredited Retail Certificate II training.

The program is aimed at supporting youth (espe-cially young mothers), the long term unemployed and indigenous Australians to enter the workforce.

The Store is located in Emerton (NSW), one of the most disadvantaged of Australia’s urban com-munities; many residents battle with significant entrenched disadvantage and social vulnerability. To date, the project has addressed some of these factors of disadvantage through some impressive milestones:

Æ Over $250,000 of affordable food is provided annually to local families;

Æ Over 1,200 disadvantaged families are as-sisted each month;

Æ Eight (8) full and part-time employment posi-tions have been created;

Æ 19 work experience/trainee positions have been created; and

Æ 52 people have undertaken accredited Retail Certificate II training.

The development of a facility upgrade for The Store began in 2010 and the new building opens this week (Thursday 29 September 2011) with a tripling of floor space allowing it to significantly increase the range of products offered and training opportunities.

Caith Angel (Supply Manager - Foodservice) and Martin Kenrick (Senior Supply Manager - Foodserv-ice) from Church Resources have delivered a free consultancy, and in conjunction with representatives from our Foodservice Preferred Partners, worked with our Member to provide selected product, free display fridges and freezers, shelving, display cabi-

nets and pastry warmers to ensure that this essen-tial upgrade provides the best possible outcomes for this community.

All those involved in this project, Damian Jardine, Martin Kenrick, Caith Angel, including the team at Holy Family Social Services Mt Druitt, Michael Max-well (Social Services Manager), Kerrie Mullaney (Enterprise Manager), and Steve Wilson (Market Manager) would like to thank all the Church Re-sources Preferred Supply Partners for their ongoing and increasing involvement, donations and support in this project.
