Tips given for Summer salad care
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - “A little
extra time and care will go a
long way towards helping to
prevent' spoilage or even
food poisoning when
preparing certain types of
salads for your summer
picnics and barbeques,”
says Cynthia Keller, a food
scientist and microbioligst
with Monsanto Company of
St. Louis.
DHIA cows must be
properly
UNIVERSITY PARK -
The National DHtA rules
state that every cow in the
herd must be positively
identified on the DHIA
reports. Registered cows
must have registration
numbers and grade cows
must have eartags of the
uniform senes such as 23
WAC 3742 (two digits, three
letters and four digits),
adopted by the national
organization for permanent
identification. Everyone
needs to be reminded from
tune to tune that this area
must be kept up-to-date,
says Larry Specht, Penn
State Extension dairy
socialist.
Another area of iden
tification that needs constant
attention is the individual
herd numbering system. It is
the responsibility of the herd
owner to maintain an ac
curate and legible num
bering system to aid in the
positive identification of
animals at the time of the
monthly test.
Herd numbers should be
clearly visible to the tester to
insure an efficient and ac
curate test. No one wants to
slow down the milking
operation on test day.
Remember, it takes a more
readable system when cows
are moving rapidly through
a mi'king parlor than when
miked in a stall bam.
Cow identification seems
to be an area that is taken for
granted. Eartags are lost
and some are difficult to
read Neck chains al have
problems; numbers are not
easily read, some are
missing and some chains are
so tight that the tag is tucked
into a position where it’s
hard to see. Things will go.

“There is no reason for
ham, egg, tuna, chicken,
macaroni salads or coleslaw
to be spoiled by bacterial
growth if the food is properly
prepared and stored,” she
explained. “Actually,
homemade salads are
generally safe because they
are most often eaten right
after they’re made. The
problem of food poisoning,
identified
more smoothly on test day
(and later on at the
processmg center) if quick
and accurate identification
is available on all cows.

which is caused by bacteria,
can arise when salads are
held for a period of hours at
warm temperatures before
they’re eaten.”
Certain conditions must
exist before the mayonnaise
based salads and cole slaws
become food poisoning
hazards.
The salad can be con
taminated with a type of food
poisoning bacteria - via
ingredients, utensils, con
tainers, or people. Also, the
salad must have a low acid
content that can support the
growth of food poisoning
bacteria. Finally, the salad
must remain at a tem
perature conducive to the
growth of such bacteria.
There are a number of
piecautions that can be
taken to pi uvent the growth
of bacteria in homemade
salads;
“Don’t leave any of these
types of foods above'
refrigeration temperature
for several hours at a tune”,
the Monsanto scientist said.
“If bacteria are present,
they can multiply and reach
harmful levels in a matter of
hours under, improper
storage conditions.”
Most commercially
prepared salads, Ms. Keller
explained, are usually
formulated so that the
product’s high acid content
prevents the growth of food
poisoning bacteria. The
chemical preservatives used
m these salads are aimed
primarily at inhibiting the
growth of yeasts and mold -
micro-organisms which can

dressing in the salads
Despite what many people
may think, mayonnaise and
salad dressings do not in
crease the potential of
spoilage or health hazards
Instead, because of their
high-acid content, these
ingredients retard the
growth of spoilage
organisms and food
poisoning bacteria”.
