Page 8 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2011 0648 01 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 Section C Answer either 8(a) or 8(b). 8 (a) High levels of bacteria in food can cause food poisoning. Discuss ways of preventing food poisoning when storing, preparing and cooking food. [15] The answer may include the following knowledge and understanding. Conditions for growth of bacteria warmth – moisture – food – time – suitable pH – some require oxygen Symptoms of food poisoning vomiting – diarrhoea – headache – tiredness/exhaustion – abdominal pain – fever – double vision Storing food clean containers – cool place/refrigerator – covered – especially high risk foods – e.g. meat/fish/milk/eggs – to prevent cross-contamination – use in rotation – check ‘use by’ dates – fresh meat/fish – use on day of purchase – follow storage instructions – cool leftover food rapidly – use within 24 hours – keep raw and cooked food separate – raw meat at bottom of refrigerator – so drips do not fall onto other foods – check containers regularly – weevils/rats/mice etc. – grain off floor – dry place – prevent multiplication of bacteria – check cans for bulges – indicates seal has been damaged – bacteria entered – food still spoils in refrigerator – action of bacteria slower – do not thaw then refreeze food – bacteria will have multiplied in warmth – bacteria dormant in freezer – spoilage halted etc. Preparing food wash hands – after toilet/raw meat/vegetables with soil – avoid cross-contamination – no coughing/sneezing over food – do not cook if ill – so bacteria are not passed to others – tie back/ cover long hair – bacteria from hair could get into food – no long fingernails – dirt and bacteria collect underneath – clean apron – no outdoor clothes – avoid transfer of bacteria from outside – do not touch face during food preparation – handle food as little as possible – no rings – food/bacteria trapped in settings – no nail varnish – flakes off into food – cover cuts with waterproof dressings – bacteria will be on skin - no licking spoons/fingers – bacteria from mouth transferred to food – separate chopping board/knife for raw and cooked food – equipment clean – work surfaces clean – wash up in hot soapy water – clean tea towel/allow to dry in air – no chipped plates used – avoid introducing bacteria from dirty cloths – dish cloth not to be used for cleaning floor etc. – boil/bleach dish cloth regularly – kill bacteria – cover waste bin – clean up spills/pools of water – to avoid attracting mosquitoes – avoid insects/vermin – wrap waste tightly – bin outside kitchen – no animals in kitchen – animals must not use family’s meal plates – dispose of rubbish/waste regularly – throw away/wash food dropped on floor – no flies etc. in kitchen – carry bacteria – etc. Cooking food thoroughly cook foods – especially meat/eggs – use meat thermometer/food probe – should reach 72°C in centre – maintain for 2 minutes – to kill bacteria – e.g. Salmonella – do not keep warm – re-infected with bacteria from air – know source of food – danger of BSE etc. – clean water supply – should reheat until piping hot – use food probe – do not reheat after 24 hours – only reheat once – danger of barbecues, food overcooked on outside but not hot enough in centre – warmth encourages bacterial growth – cook just before eating if possible – serve immediately – do not use raw eggs if possible – in mayonnaise/marzipan – danger of Salmonella – do not use cracked eggs etc.
