Over 85% of food-poisoning incidents are fully preventable, according to this video, which presents a creative and thorough overview of the topic. Emphasizing common sense, the personable host takes viewers through the basics of safe food handling procedures. Practical demonstrations take place in both residential and large institutional kitchens, and are intercut with authoritative interviews with various food handling experts. Tips on everything from chopping to storage are given, emphasized with graphics and text. Thawing, cooking temperatures, and when and how to store leftovers are some of the many facets of food preparation in which to exercise caution and common sense (the bacteria that causes both salmonella and the more dangerous E. coli poisoning, can be introduced to your food at almost any stage of preparation). Interesting camera angles, an extremely informative script, and scores of practical tips make this video a good choice for anyone who prepares food in any capacity. Aud: H, C, P. (E. Gieschen)
