A survey conducted by the Department of Agrlcul- (USDA) Economic csearch Service (ERS) Incll- ites that they may. For instance, the survey rtis- osed that many consumers unaware that absolute pro- ction is not "guaranteed" mply because meat and poul- products are inspected recessing plants by USDA's nimal and Plant Health Injection Service (APHIS). Also the survey revealed that onsumers this time of year are iking unnecessary risks in the andling of turkey and stuffing. Sixty three per cent of those responded to the special obd safety survey conducted in une and July thought it -was not likely" or "not at al kely" for meat and poultry t( arry' harmful bacteria and emis.

Although Congress charged in the 1967-68 Whole ome Meat and Poultry Inspec on Acts with the responsibility inspecting the nation's mea nd poultry supply to assure wholesomeness, this in pection does not extend to etail stores, nor does it relieve onsumers of the responsibilitj take proper food safety pre in the home. The survey showed lonsumer is not aware that he or she must take thesi irecautions to keep food safi avoiding the growth bacteria. APHIS meat inspection offi cials stress to consumers tha neat and poultry are not steril products, and if abused cause food poisoning. Th survey indicates this fact is no understood by everyone. Statistics on illnesses caused food poisoning have shown ml high percentage are the csult of improper food hauling In the home or food ser- it'e establishments.

The ERS survey disclosed ml consumer: also do not ndcrstaud the danger involved i allowing cooked food to stand I room temperature for more an two or three hours. Eighty-eight per cent of those ueried said they were con- erncd from a food safety tandpoint about letting ooked food out for the same land for more than two or iree hours at room tempera- ure. However only 53 per cent vei'c concerned about leaving cooked food out for the same icriod of time. Most food bacteria in un- food are destroyed at looking temperatures above 140 legrees but food scientists point out that COOKED food also can be a haven for jrowing bacteria through re contamination or cross-contamination. Asked which of three alterna ive.ways they would go aboul preparing a hypothetical mea avoid cross contamination more than half 59 per cenl of the consumers chose the two WRONG answers.

three methods preparation listed were: After cutting up the fresh meat, chop the fresh vegetable: and then wash the knife, thi cutting board and hands will soap and water. "After cutting up the fresl meat, rinse of the i the cutting board, and hand and then chop the fresh vege tables. After cutting up the fres meat, wash the i th cutting board, and hands wit soap and hot water and the chop the fresh vegetables." uniiiiiiiiiNniniiiiinnni 2fortbuirBt Arkansas Slwtts or MEN Monday, December 2, 1974 Baggy, Saggy Sweater Sleeves Dear Heloise: I seems as if many ot the sleeves of my knitted blouses or sweaters stretch at the wrist and are always too large.
