- 0:07it's a toxin producer
- 0:09but also produces spores and nothing
- 0:12starts to get
- 0:13trickier spores are like eggs
- 0:16and the only issue with these eggs is
- 0:19that they are
- 0:20really resistant to chemical and
- 0:23temperature while the vegetative
- 0:26bacteria these are called vegetative
- 0:30bacteria in this form and activity
- 0:32they are active they're vegetative the
- 0:34spores are not
- 0:36active the spores are dormant it's a
- 0:38state of dormancy of the bacteria
- 0:41and while the vegetative bacteria
- 0:44can die with normal cooking temperatures
- 0:46which i'm going to specify very soon
- 0:49these can withstand normal cooking
- 0:51temperatures
- 0:52easily for so to give you an idea
- 0:56if you put spores in 100 degree water
- 0:58they won't die after one hour of boiling
- 1:01so they can withstand one or of boiling
- 1:03without any problem at all
- 1:05you put down the temperature down they
- 1:07hatch
- 1:08so to speak and they will start to grow
- 1:10again so where spores are in place
- 1:14problems start to get more tricky to
- 1:15deal with the onset is from six hours to
- 1:1815 hours in case of vegetative bacterial
- 1:21infection
- 1:21if it's pores it's just half hour to six
- 1:24hours so
- 1:25half hour is basically you're still at
- 1:28the table eating and
- 1:29you feel like vomiting already mortality
- 1:32is rare
- 1:34it takes about a ten thousand vegetative
- 1:37ones
- 1:38to make you go sick symptoms
- 1:43one type of symptoms without toxin is
- 1:45diarrhea and cramps
- 1:47when there is toxin there will be
- 1:49vomiting involved
- 1:51normally it wears off after about two
- 1:54days
- 1:55and it's widespread but very common in
- 1:58rice
- 1:59the reason for it is that rice
- 2:02are grown in fields which is very very
- 2:04wet
- 2:05if you have ever seen pictures of how
- 2:07the asians grow
- 2:09grow rice the wet the fields are
- 2:11completely
- 2:12drowned in water that's how rice grow
- 2:16and because of that the chances of
- 2:19bachelors
- 2:20in this oil where it is grown it's
- 2:21really really high
- 2:23but we never buy fresh rice in in
- 2:26in our country we always buy it dried
- 2:29and for that reason when it's dried
- 2:30there's no water it is
- 2:33safe and contained doesn't mean there is
- 2:36no spores in it
- 2:37so once i boil it and we only boil our
- 2:40rice for about
- 2:4110-15 minutes
- 2:44the spores will not be dead the spores
- 2:46will be still waiting for you
- 2:48to switch off the fire and then
- 2:52start to grow so rice is one of the
- 2:56biggest threats in our kitchen because
- 2:59of this kind of bacteria which have
- 3:01spores
- 3:02and they can withstand our cooking
- 3:05process
- 3:06e coli it's also a species e coli
- 3:10are a species of bacteria
- 3:14which we normally link to dirt
- 3:18and feces these also produce toxins
- 3:21kill a lot of people every air because
- 3:24their toxin is really
- 3:26persistent and even they survive in our
- 3:29system
- 3:30very easily the although you need 10
- 3:33million
- 3:34to get infected if there's the toxin
- 3:37you're still going to get the effects
- 3:40the effects will be water in the area
- 3:42blood or mucus
- 3:44ah sorry without blood or mucus rarely
- 3:48fever and vomiting
- 3:49but cramps and nausea are prominent
- 3:53this is the worst bit it sometimes takes
- 3:57up to 19 days to wear off so
- 4:00as i said earlier after two days you
- 4:03will probably be in a hospital
- 4:05so imagine having to endure 19 days
- 4:07without a hospital it's
- 4:09practically impossible
- 4:12we normally link echolite of feces
- 4:16so when we find e coli in a test
- 4:20we are troubled it shouldn't be there it
- 4:23shouldn't be in food
- 4:26last but not least
- 4:29the type of bacteria which is quite
- 4:32different from the others
- 4:34it's called clostridium perfringens the
- 4:37family of clostridium are quite
- 4:40if i might say unique in their ways when
- 4:43compared to the other their ways of
- 4:45affecting their hosts it's a toxin
- 4:48producer it's also also as
- 4:50poor former takes up to eight to 16
- 4:53hours
- 4:54mortality is not so significant
- 4:58but this is not a common type of
- 5:00bacteria so
- 5:01i'm not mentioning how much people die
- 5:04when they are infected
- 5:05i'm just saying how much people die you
- 5:08need one million to get infected
- 5:10in many cases then the symptoms are
- 5:12quite classic
- 5:13variant cramps but in some cases
- 5:17they affect the lining of the intestine
- 5:19they will distort
- 5:21blood flow towards the intestine lining
- 5:24and they will
- 5:26create that patches of the intestine
- 5:29so in this case if this is what's
- 5:31happening inside the patient
- 5:33the patient has to be operated on the
- 5:36dead parts removed if they are possible
- 5:38to be removed
- 5:39and they will stitch the person up and
- 5:43probably will live but every case is
- 5:46specific
- 5:48they come from a different variety of
- 5:50sources beef poultry and vegetables
- 5:53and they have they have also another
- 5:56capability which is different from the
- 5:59others
- 6:01they multiply faster actually in half
- 6:03the time
- 6:04while the other bacteria i've mentioned
- 6:06multiply in about
- 6:0820 minutes so from one bacteria you get
- 6:10two
- 6:11it needs 20 minutes to do that in this
- 6:14case
- 6:15they multiply in 10 or less so the
- 6:18population grows much faster
- 6:21in this type of bacteria
- 6:24and yeah you can boil this pores for one
- 6:27hour they will still be alive
- 6:30this is maltese statistics here
- 6:34this is the number of people who go to
- 6:35hospital
- 6:37in malta with food related infections
- 6:41it doesn't mean we're gonna we're
- 6:43getting worse
- 6:44although the graph shows that but as i
- 6:48mentioned earlier viruses were not part
- 6:50of this statistic
- 6:51earlier and because of that
- 6:54once we started to include viruses into
- 6:57the equation the numbers went up to
- 6:59about 600
- 7:00and over in some cases so
- 7:03if you remember i mentioned that one icu
- 7:06bed
- 7:07for 24 hours costs
- 7:11malta about 3 500 euros
- 7:15if you multiply that 3
- 7:18500 euros
- 7:22by 600 people
- 7:26that is 2.1 million so it's a lot of
- 7:29money
- 7:31which is spent for no particular reason
- 7:36except for negligence in many cases
- 7:39because
- 7:39all or the most part of these infections
- 7:43can be avoided with those 2.1 million we
- 7:47could have
- 7:49built some new library interactive
- 7:52library for our kids
- 7:53so they can learn better instead of
- 7:56wasting it
- 7:56on people who got sick
- 8:00for because of negligence i'm not
- 8:03mentioning the effect
- 8:05of those number of hours of the patient
- 8:08in the bed because everyone had have
- 8:10their own life and maybe
- 8:12they're losing some
- 8:15part of their activity in their life
- 8:17being financial or non-financial doesn't
- 8:19matter
- 8:20so the effects are much bigger in number
- 8:25food
- 8:26moisture temperature and time those are
- 8:29the four elements that
- 8:30bacteria need to grow you take one out
- 8:34of the equation
- 8:35bacteria doesn't mean it dies it means
- 8:38that
- 8:38you will take away its capacity to
- 8:41multiply and grow
- 8:43if we have to have to divide these two
- 8:45into two categories
- 8:47the top one food and moisture those are
- 8:50always dependent on the type of food
- 8:52the bottom ones temperature and time are
- 8:55directly dependent on the food handler
- 8:59i don't know of any chicken which was
- 9:01stored in a freezer
- 9:03who literally opened the door of the
- 9:05freezer and started complaining it's
- 9:07very cold inside there
- 9:09and i want to go into the sun because i
- 9:11want to warm up
- 9:12there's someone who takes the chicken
- 9:14from the freezer and puts it in the
- 9:15windowsill
- 9:17so it warms faster it tows
- 9:23if we give bacteria all the four
- 9:25elements
- 9:26at the same time and we give them time
- 9:29to grow
- 9:30it will be a time bomb literally because
- 9:32numbers will start to grow
- 9:34in very very crazy numbers and they will
- 9:39sicken whoever consumes the food what
- 9:42temperatures do bacteria need
- 9:45it's very important that we understand
- 9:47that below 5 degrees
- 9:50bacteria sleeps it doesn't die
- 9:53many believe that they die in the
- 9:55freezer and it's a
- 9:57very big mistake
- 10:00some scientists were taking cores of
- 10:03icebergs
- 10:05in the arctic and the bottom part of the
- 10:08iceberg was about 10
- 10:09000 years old so they brought the core
- 10:13up
- 10:14and they took it to the lab and the
- 10:16bacteria that melted
- 10:18which was 10 000 years old
- 10:21most of it was awake when it's melted
- 10:24so never consider putting any food in
- 10:26the freezer for a week or two
- 10:29that it's gonna kill the bacteria not at
- 10:31all so
- 10:33that should be very clear now in your
- 10:35heads bacteria starts to die
- 10:38when the temperature reaches above 63.
- 10:41does it mean 63 and they're all dead
- 10:43at 63 days stop multiplying and they
- 10:46find it difficult
- 10:47to to grow doesn't mean they're all dead
- 10:51one bacterium will in four hours it will
- 10:53become
- 10:551280. i'm going to show you how
- 10:58massive they can grow and if given more
- 11:00time
- 11:01this is the number of bacteria here this
- 11:03is 1 billion
- 11:05and this is roughly 10 hours and as you
- 11:08can see
- 11:09on the chart in 10 hours the bacteria
- 11:12will go
- 11:13higher than a billion and this is in the
- 11:16bacteria which
- 11:17multiply every 20 minutes if we had to
- 11:20look at the ones which multiply every 10
- 11:22minutes
- 11:24after 10 hours the number is i don't
- 11:27even know how to read that number it has
- 11:30it has 16 zeros so
- 11:34it's beyond that trillion which is
- 11:37more bacteria than you need to get sick
- 11:40let's say it that way
- 11:41now between the temperature of 5
- 11:44and 63 that is considered the danger
- 11:48zone
- 11:48this is where bacteria grows so we need
- 11:51to keep
- 11:52sensitive food for bacterial growth away
- 11:55from this temperature bracket
- 11:57and we put them in the refrigerator
- 11:59we're literally taking the temperature
- 12:01away
- 12:02and the temperature of a chiller or
- 12:03refrigerator is from
- 12:05one to four not five six seven eight
- 12:08like some people might think
- 12:10between one and four because as soon as
- 12:12you hit five
- 12:13bacteria are awake again start to grow
- 12:16again
- 12:17when you put something in the freezer
- 12:19temperature should be minus
- 12:2018 or lower if you want to go minus 30
- 12:25you can minus 40 you can but it's not
- 12:27required unless you're gonna
- 12:29keep the foods there for three years
- 12:33minus 18 to minus 22 is usually
- 12:36the most economic and safe zone
- 12:39you can keep your food in now
- 12:42we're gonna cook food what is the
- 12:44minimum temperature
- 12:46we normally target 76 as our
- 12:50minimum temperature
- 12:54if we hit 76 in the core of the object
- 12:57not the surface
- 12:58we consider that food that is ready to
- 13:01eat
- 13:02if you have leftovers and the malta we
- 13:05are we tend to
- 13:07over cook food especially when we have
- 13:09guests
- 13:10we prepare for 15 people we're going to
- 13:13have five
- 13:14no no problem there but do not leave the
- 13:17food outside until
- 13:19no one really shows more interest in it
- 13:22if no one wants more put it in the
- 13:24fridge right away
- 13:25the next day reheat it before you eat it
- 13:28and we normally target 82
- 13:30because this food was exposed to the air
- 13:33for a period of time
- 13:34probably if we're talking saliva is
- 13:37flying everywhere
- 13:38so we cook it back to we heat it back to
- 13:4182
- 13:42to make it safe don't doesn't mean you
- 13:44have to heat it
- 13:45at 82 for another three hours just hit
- 13:4882 and switch it off
- 13:50one interesting fact is
- 13:53the ideal temperature for our but for
- 13:56bacteria to grow
- 13:57is our body temperature which is
- 13:59normally 37 degrees
- 14:01in fact when we swab surfaces or we swab
- 14:05food to see if there's any bacteria on
- 14:08those surfaces
- 14:10we put it in an incubator at 37 degrees
- 14:14so that if there's any bacteria it is
- 14:16sure to grow
- 14:18on the screen there you can see one
- 14:20object becoming two
- 14:21and that is how bacteria multiply
- 14:25one becomes two by doubling everything
- 14:28inside it
- 14:29and then splitting it's called binary
- 14:32fishing no sex
- 14:36no male no female just one bacteria
- 14:39becoming two
- 14:40worn out wooden chopping boards dirty
- 14:43fingernails
- 14:44broken table tops these are three
- 14:47hotspots that we
- 14:50normally look for we hope we don't find
- 14:54but we look for when we're doing
- 14:56inspections
- 14:57this is just three of many and for
- 15:01why choose these three for good reason
- 15:03because dirty fingernails
- 15:05imply dirty hands so the person who
- 15:08holds those fingernails
- 15:10probably doesn't wash his hands very
- 15:13often
- 15:13if i find broken table tops like those
- 15:16where food is in direct contact
- 15:18especially
- 15:19you can't really expect to have a clean
- 15:22surface there because
- 15:23you can't really wash those tiny
- 15:25crevices
- 15:26food will get stuck there will create
- 15:29blooms of bacteria
- 15:31chopping boards
- 15:34wood was once a tree and when we put
- 15:38when we give trees water we give it into
- 15:40in the roots
- 15:41and the water goes up naturally up to
- 15:45the leaves
- 15:46and although a chopping board is not a
- 15:48tree anymore
- 15:49it still can absorb water and
- 15:52suck water through its medium
- 15:56because the mechanisms that draw water
- 15:59up
- 16:00are still there and for that reason we
- 16:03don't
- 16:04encourage wooden wood views in kitchens
- 16:07because they can absorb all type of
- 16:09fluids including bacteria inside them
- 16:11they will be really difficult to clean
- 16:14because it's inside
- 16:16and for that reason they can be one of
- 16:18the major causes of
- 16:20food infections in kitchens
