Communications Manager
DO you have the kitchen from hell? Is it a rat and cockroach- infested nightmare fit for the
Hammer House of Horror? No? We thought not, but even so,
environmental health officers from Ribble Valley Borough Council have been out and about highlighting National Food Safety Week. Food safety officer Louise Hilton,
whose job involves inspecting food premises throughout Ribble Valley, donned her “whites” to run through the basics of kitchen hygiene and food safety. Kitchens can be
a.breeding
ground for a variety of food-poison ing “nasties,” including salmonella, E. coli and listeria, and National Food Safety Week has been high lighting the importance of handling food safely. Only last month, two members of
a Ribble Valley family required hos pital treatment after becoming infected by the E. coli 0157 bacteria. One of the victims, a child, suf
fered temporary kidney failure requiring short-term dialysis. District councils and consumer
groups throughout the country have this week been raising awareness of how easily germs can be spread, as well as the importance of keeping pets and pests away from food. Louise said: “Germs found in food
can lead to food poisoning, which can be dangerous and even kill. “They are impossible to detect,

THIS is a recipe for disaster. Bacteria from raw meat can easily contaminate other foods, so take care how you store food (A080604/ld)
food safety 1. Use different chop ping boards and kitchen utensils for raw meat and cooked foods. 2. Never leave perish able food outside of the fridge for more than two hours. 3. For best results, set the temperature of your freezer at-18°C and fridges between 1 and 4°C. 4. Store raw food on a different fridge shelf below ready-to-eat food or better still use separate fridges. 5. “Clean as you go,” when cooking. It can keep germs down to a minimum and saves time in the long run!

since they do not usually affect the taste, appearance or smell of food. Raw foods, especially chicken and red meat, bring unseen germs into the kitchen, which can easily spread to anything that touches them. “When you touch raw chicken or
meat, germs get on to your hands. If you don’t wash your hands thor oughly straight away, the germs can spread to anything you touch, such as other food, the fridge door or a tea towel. “I strongly advise people to wash
their hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after they have touched raw chicken or meat and before they touch anything else, as well as washing chopping boards and knives that have been used with raw chicken or meat before they use them with other foods.” A recent survey by the Food and
Drink Federation found that 26% of men and 17% of women said they did not always wash their hands before preparing food. A staggering 31% of men and
17% of women also said they did not regularly wash their hands after using the toilet. Louise continued: “If you do not
wash your hands before food prepa ration, they could be covered in dirt and bacteria from the toilet, bin and many other sources, which can be transferred on to food and cause food poisoning. “Make sure you wash your hands
thoroughly and work up a good lath er, making sure you wash your wrists, hands, fingers, thumbs, fin gernails and in between fingers. Rinse the soap off your hands with clean water.”
Each year it is estimated that as
many as 5.5 million people in the UK suffer from food-related illness - that is one in 10 people. The most serious types of food
poisoning are due to bacteria, which in the right conditions - such as the presence of oxygen, salt and sugar - can multiply millions of times in a matter of hours. Cooking food outdoors, particu
larly for large groups, can increase the risk of food poisoning, but with a little extra care barbecues can be safe, as well as fun, Louise said. She advised: “Light the barbecue
well in advance, making sure you use enough charcoal, and wait until it is glowing red, before starting to cook. Keep meats, salads and other perish able food in the fridge or cool bag with ice packs until just before you are ready to cook or eat them. “During cooking, turn meat often,
and always cook it thoroughly, ensuring there are no pink bits in the middle. Keep raw and cooked foods apart a t all times and don’t put salad or bread on plates that have held raw meat.” The symptoms of food poisoning
are not pleasant and include abdom inal pains, diarrhoea, vomiting, nau sea and fever. Louise added: “Food poisoning is
preventable and anyone requiring further information should contact us. Food should be fun, not deadly!” A series of leaflets on food safety
are available from Ribble Valley Borough Council’s Environmental Health Department on 01200 414464 or the Level C reception desk a t the council offices in Church Walk, Clitheroe.

call: 01323 745130 (24 hrs) Apply for new passports now to save delays later
IF you need a passport and you were born after January 1st, 1983, make sure you apply early. That is the message from Lan
cashire County Council following a recent change in the requirements of
the UK Passport Service. Anyone born on or after that date and who is applying for their first passport needs a copy of their full birth cer tificate. This new rule has resulted in a
high demand for birth certificates from the Registration Service in Lancashire with the number of requests rising by over 200% on the same period last year.
Lancashire County Council’s Reg-
istration Service is asking people to think ahead and apply early for their certificates and to be prepared for a waiting period of 24 hours for collection or posting out of the cer tificate.

Pupils spend the week gazing up at the stars
HANDLING moon rocks and meteorites and a visit from a space rocket were two highlights of “Astronomy Week” at Rib- blesdale High School Technolo gy College. Another was the once-in-a-
lifetime opportunity to view the Transit of Venus from the school observatory. Pupils at the Clitheroe school were able to watch Venus as it passed across the face of the sun last Tuesday.
The momentous astronomical
event sparked a full week of stargazing studies including an exhibition of moon rocks and meteorites loaned by the Parti cle Physics and Astronomy Research Council. Another exciting highlight
was the visit to school of the “Starchaser” rocket, accompa nied by a series of entertaining lectures and competitions for pupils.
