Colleās ask was first presented to city council in June, with support from York South-Weston Coun. Frances Nunziata.
At the time, Colle sought councilās approval to request the general manager of economic development and culture, in consultation with relevant city divisions, the Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas (BIA) and culinary industry partners, deliver a report on how the city can support a celebration of Torontoās culinary excellence through the creation of an international pizza festival.

āI have communicated with the general manager, economic development and culture to consider how his division might be able to support such an endeavour given their great experience with events such as Summerlicious and Winterlicious,ā he wrote.
Colle is asking the committee to refer his ask to the general manager for his consideration and action in support of both himself and Nunziata, as well as local restaurants and BIAs to organize a city-wide pizza festival.
The committee will consider his ask at its Sept. 18 meeting.

31 Common Food, Cooking Mistakes That Could POISON You
Invest in a digital food thermometer and youāll never worry about undercooking (or overcooking) meat again. Beef, pork, lamb, and veal should have a minimum internal temperature of 145Ā°F, while ground meats need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 160Ā°F. Chicken on the other hand should be cooked until it reaches 165Ā°F.

You should have a separate chopping board for raw meat, to reduce the risk of cross-contamination with other foods. Raw or undercooked meat is one of the main causes of food poisoning and having different chopping boards and knives for vegetables and meat will reduce the risk. At the very least, be sure to give your cutting board and knives an extremely good clean after they touch raw meat.

As simple as it sounds, this is one of the most common food hygiene mistakes. Hands are a breeding ground for bacteria, and washing them in warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds prior to any food preparation is recommended to prevent any risk of illness. Rinsing hands before and after touching raw meat, fish, or eggs is essential, too.

Donāt be tempted to keep raw meat and fish for too long. Ideally, cook or freeze fresh poultry, fish, and ground meat within two days of purchase, while beef, pork, and lamb can keep up to five days in the refrigerator. If you open and only use some of the food, store it correctly and check the label for when to use it by after opening.

Uncooked rice can contain spores of bacillus cereus bacterium, which can survive when rice is cooked and then left at room temperature ā and grow into bacteria that cause vomiting or diarrhea. Always cool rice within an hour, keep leftover rice for no longer than one day, make sure any reheated is piping hot all the way through before consuming, and never reheat it more than once.

Washing raw meat, like chicken or turkey, is an old-fashioned food safety myth. Rinsing meat will splash bacteria all over your kitchen, sink, cloths, and utensils ā and this can in turn increase your risk of food poisoning. Instead, it's recommended that you follow basic food hygiene while preparing meats like chicken, and cook it thoroughly to avoid contamination.

Never buy food where the packaging or seal is broken. Food could have become contaminated during the processing or transportation period, and therefore has a higher risk of food poisoning. If you notice a damaged product, report it to the storeās staff so they can remove it from the shelves.

Defrost frozen food as quickly as possible to avoid food poisoning ā that means not leaving it out on the kitchen table all day. Defrosting food in the refrigerator overnight is the best option, as it keeps food out of the bacteria ādanger zoneā ā this is temperatures between 46-140Ā°F. Defrost meat on a plate or in a container, too, so juices don't drip onto other foods.

When youāre grilling sausages and burgers on the barbecue, itās easier to use one set of tongs or the same spatula, but youāre at risk of spreading harmful bacteria from raw to cooked meats and vegetables. Get two different colored utensils ā one for raw and one for cooked food ā and an extra utensil if youāre catering for anyone with dietary requirements.

Putting hot or warm food in the refrigerator raises the internal temperature and could put all the items in there at risk of bacteria growth. However, it's also important to chill dishes quickly after they've been cooked. To cool food down more rapidly, so it's at a suitable temperature to store in the refrigerator, divide it into smaller portions, spread food like rice on a tray and cover saucepans, and move to colder areas. The coldest part of a refrigerator should be below 41ĀŗF.

Nearly 700 Frozen Waffle Products Were Recalled in Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Other Popular Retailers Nationwide
More and more recalls have been initiated due to Listeria. Hereās what to know ā and how to keep safe.
Listeria has made headlines for months, prompting recalls of millions of pounds of deli meat and ready-to-eat meat products. Now, the potentially fatal organism is showing up in frozen waffles.
#waffle #meat #recall #food
TreeHouse Foods, which makes waffles sold under the Kodiak, Good & Gather, and many more popular brands, is voluntarily recalling nearly 700 different waffle products across dozens of brands due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The waffles were sold at Publix, Aldo, Food Lion, Walmart, and Target, among other retailers nationwide, according to an announcement from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
People with recalled waffles should throw them away or return them to the store where they were purchased for a credit, the announcement says. And consumers with further questions may reach out to TreeHouse Foods at 800-596-2903, Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST. (You can see the full list of recalled products here.)
There have been no illnesses reported in connection to the recalled waffles. The issue was discovered during routine testing at the manufacturing facility, according to the FDA.
Listeria monocytogenes isnāt a new organism, but itās come up a lot lately. This summer, more than 7.2 million pounds of Boarās Head deli meats were recalled due to a listeria outbreak that killed at least nine people. More recently, BrucePac recalled nearly 10 million pounds of meat due to possible listeria contamination.
Hereās what food safety experts want you to know about listeria and frozen waffles.
