Introduction to Food Mandatory food safety programs are now required for child

care centres (centres) that provide meals that

contain potentially hazardous food (defined in section 4). The

requirement for mandatory food safety

programs was gazetted as part of the national Food Safety

Standards in October 2006. Centres have two

years to develop and implement a food safety program and

have it audited by an approved auditor.

Centres that provide potentially hazardous food are high

food safety risk because children aged under five

years are generally more susceptible to infection than the

average healthy adult, and the symptoms and

consequences of food-borne illness can be more severe for

young children.

Purpose of this area: All children in child care need regular healthy meals,

snacks and fluids (drinks). Promoting childrens health

is an important aspect of good quality child care. Its

important that children in care are offered nutritious

meals and enjoy positive mealtime experiences.

Research has shown that some children in care maynot get enough of some important dietary nutrients.

Regardless of whether food is provided, all childcare

services have a responsibility to promote good

nutrition for children in their care. Childcare centres

and all staff should be familiar with hygiene standards,

nutrition principles for children, and food safety laws.

Possible root of infections( method of transmission)

Cross contamination of ready-to-eat food from

cutting boards, knives and handling

of raw poultry and meats.

Infection usually results from eating

contaminated food. Can be spread by person toperson through diarrheal stools and poor

hygiene.

The main means of contamination is from the

hands of carriers or wounds on the skin.

Possible infection controlmethod

Make sure your childs day care center or school

stores lunches in a refrigerator

Dont refrigerate lunches in insulated bags,

which can prevent the food from staying cool

Avoiding making lunches with mayonnaise,which contains eggs and spoils quickly

Freeze juices and waters; this will keep the juice

fresh and will also keep other foods chilled
