We are doing everything we can to help analyze the situation and allay fears by educating the public that they can help ensure their safety through proper cooking of meats," said Jeanne Sowa, M.S., R.D.. Execulive Vice President, Marketing. According to Sowa, the Meat Board has always taken a strong position on food handling safety. "We've made reducing occurrences of foodborne illnesses a priority." The Meat Board has ini- Thursday, February 18, 1993 The best friends also Shop wisely to survive food buys PAYSON Food manufactur- ers and retailers spend millions of dollars each year to increase the amount of money consumers spend at the grocery store. Marketing studies have been done to see w hat overhead music is best, what colors are best for the food item's package, and where to place products in order to sell the most high profit items. For example, one study found that consumers spent more money and time in the supermarket when slow music was played instead of rock music. The bottom line is they want consumers to spend extra money so they will make more money. Unfortunately items that are low-inutrients and frequently high in fat sell well. Since fat is not a desirable part of a healthy diet, consumers must be smarter than food marketers and not fall prey to advertising gimmicks. Here are a few Supermarket Survival Tactics to consider: Never go to the supermarket diatiated an industry-wid- e food and solve to define logue safety issues, funded research on foodborne pathogens, and developed materials to help V low-nutrie- J least expensive meat items may not be the best buy if they are high in fat. Read labels, especially on imitation foods, since not all imitations are as nutritious as their traditional counterparts. If one has trouble avoiding certain food items, carry a thin picture or a list of reasons you want to eat healthy with you. Look at it whenever your will power weakens. Use coupons carefully. Many times one brand of an item is still more expensive than a different brand after coupon savings are deducted. Don't buy something just because you have a coupon for 'it. Only buy items you and your family will use. Stay away from samples of food items unless they are low in fat. If you have trouble resisting these samples, take along some carrot sticks to munch on while you shop.

Always take a fat wheel finder or calculator with you to determine fat content of foods. (A fat wheel finder can be purchased from the Hospital Dietitian at Mountain View Hospital for $3.) Make a shopping list and stick to it. Impulse shopping can increase your bill more than 50 percent and sabotage healthy eating habits. Don't shop with others who may sabotage your healthy shopping by trying to get you to purchase high fat, and expensive food items. Start on the side of the store opposite of the produce section. Produce smashes easily when other items are stacked on it. Compare prices and labels of different brands and sizes. Generic brands are usually similar in nutritional content to the brand names, but less expensive. Economy sizes are not always the best buy, especially if it's more than your family will use before it spoils.

More than people are trained by the Foundation each year, who then train their staffs in proper food safety procedures. The Beef Industry Council and Pork Industry Group sponsored research testing the efficacy of organic acid rinses on beef and pork carcasses. The USDA recently approved this process, which can significantly reduce the number of bacteria present on carcasses during slaughter. The Meat Board sponsored a Food Safety Roundta-bl- e last July which included members from USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service, meat packers and processors, academia, and Meat Board research and meat science staff. Among the issues discussed were decontamination and prevention technologies, and development of standard procedures for sampling and identification of foodborne pathogens.
