Food Safety and Quality.

A Focus on Food Safety and Quality for Specialty Processors: A Practical Approach to the Seven HACCP Principles. Materials, developed by the New England Extension Consortium, include a notebook, videotape, and fact sheets. Included in the notebook are seven lessons, each addressing one of the seven HACCP steps. The video is well done and provides good support for the lessons. This packet of materials is available on loan from Colorado State University Audiovisual Services.

Irradiation of Meat

This one-hour video is a good review of food irradiation, its strengths and limitations, the regulatory environment under which it is approved and must be used, and the rationale for its use. Included with the video are background materials, overhead templates, an educators' guide, and a bibliography. Produced by Iowa State University Extension and the Iowa Pork Industry Center with partial funding through a USDA grant. Available on loan through Colorado State University Audiovisual Services.

Dirty Little Secrets

To help consumers protect themselves and their families from foodborne illnesses, the FDA has produced this 8 1/2-minute video on kitchen food safety. With humor and a quick pace, the video presents information on safe practices to follow when shopping, storing, preparing, and cooking food. Accompanying the video is a Kitchen Food Safety Test that can be used to rate home food safety practices.

Cost for the video is $8.95. Payment by MasterCard, VISA, check, or money order should be made payable to Interface Video Systems, P.O. Box 57138, Washington, DC 20037, or call (202) 861-0500 and ask for the Duplication Department.
