The Issues in Food Protection and Safety; Trends in the Food Protection; Food Protection and Safety Regulations

    The Session Long Project for this Course is to prepare a Plan of controlling a foodborne pathogen in a large

    commercial food establishment. The purpose of this assignment is to develop your ability to understand all
    those factors that must be considered to protect food and the public from foodborne illness in a commercial
    food establishment. Additionally, you will gain additional insight into how to develop a plan and how to
    objectively recognize the plan’s limitations.
    The Session Long Project should be based on the Food Code (2009) developed by USFDA and the Center for Food
    Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN). The full version of the Food Code (2009) is included with this course
    and is found by clicking on the links found on the the CFSAN website at
    https://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/RetailFoodProtection/FoodCode/FoodCode2009/ucm188149.htm. You may adapt
    certain parts of the Food Code to meet the needs of your selected foodborne pathogen for the SLP. Please
    review the all module SLP tasks for this course below. This will provide you with an excellent understanding
    of the entire SLP process.

    For Module One — Selection of the foodborne pathogen for the Session Long Project — You are to do the
    following:
    Selection of the foodborne pathogen for the Session Long Project
    ? Select the foodborne pathogen which will be the subject of the control plan for a large commercial food
    establishment. The selected pathogen must be a pathogen that if controlled will ensure greater protection from
    other pathogens with a similar mode of transmission.
    ? Present pertinent epidemiological information on the foodborne pathogen.
    ? Present general information on the subject retail food establishment for which the plan for controlling the
    selected pathogen will be prepared for this SLP. Information should include size, number of employees, type of
    food served, number of meals served per day, number of meals offered (Lunch, Dinner, etc), operating hours and
    days opened per week. Please feel free to add any information that you consider to be important for this SLP.
    You can also make appropriate assumptions to support your control plan.

     

    The Session Long Project for this course is divided into five or modules as follows:
    Module 1: Selection of the foodborne pathogen for the Session Long Project
    ? Selection of the foodborne pathogen which will be the subject of the control plan for a large commercial
    food establishment. The selected pathogen must be a pathogen that if controlled will ensure greater protection
    from other pathogens with a similar mode of transmission.
    ? Present pertinent epidemiological information on the foodborne pathogen.
    ? Present general information on the subject retail food establishment for which the plan for controlling the
    selected pathogen will be prepared for this SLP. Information should include size, number of employees, type of
    food served, number of meals served per day, number of meals offered (Lunch, Dinner, etc), operating hours and
    days opened per week. Please feel free to add any information that you consider to be important for this SLP.
    You can also make appropriate assumptions to support your control plan.

    The following items will be assessed in particular:
    Precision: The question of the assignment is specifically addressed in the paper. The paper determines your
    ecological footprint based on the online quiz and analyzes ways by which you can reduce this footprint. The
    paper discusses the limitations of this calculator. The paper examines how the human population may reduce the
    size of its ecological footprint on the planet.
    Clarity: The paper reads clearly. It is well structured and grammatically correct.
    Breadth: The paper presents appropriate breadth covering the questions of the assignment.
    Depth: The paper describes well, the concepts presented and the concepts are supported by the literature
    and/or illustrated with examples taken from the literature. The paper presents points that lead to deeper
    matters and issues.
    Application: The paper shows your ability to understand the concept of an ecological footprint and apply it to
    examine ways by which the human population may reduce the size of its footprint on the planet.
    References: A reference list is provided at the end of your paper. (Following APA guidelines for citation of
    references is encouraged and recommended, but not required.) At least 5 scholarly references are required.
    Scholarly references refer to peer reviewed journal articles, credible websites (such as government websites),
    published book materials and other peer-reviewed resources.
    Identifying the factors that must be controlled for your selected foodborne pathogen
    ? Research and discuss the factors which should be managed to effective control your selected foodborne
    pathogen.
    ? Discuss the physical and biological factors related to the pathogen which are important to control if the
    pathogen is to be prevented from causing foodborne illness in the food facility. Support your work with
    adequate research/references. Be a comprehensive as is reasonably possible and relevant to the transmission of
    foodborne illness in the facility.
    Module 3: Selection of the key factors that must be controlled.
    ? Based on your work in Module Two, identify the key characteristics or physical and biological factors of the
    pathogen that must be controlled if the potential threat of foodborne illness is to be controlled in the
    facility.
    ? Discuss other foodborne pathogens that will also be controlled should the key characteristics of your
    subject pathogen be adequately controlled.
    Module 4: Planning to implement management and procedural controls to eliminate or control the subject
    pathogen in the identified food establishment
    ? Discuss the level of maintenance and training that will be required to implement controls for the selected
    pathogen.
    ? Discuss the policy and procedural changes that must be implemented to control the selected pathogen.
    ? Discuss the role of management and supervision in maintaining management and procedural standards to control
    the selected pathogen. Briefly discuss the importance of leadership and work incentives to help accomplish
    effective control of the subject pathogen.
    ? Discuss how the implementation of HACCP in the facility maybe able to enhance control of the subject
    foodborne pathogen. Also discuss the critical control point (CCP) for the control of the pathogen in your
    facility.
    ? Discuss potential weaknesses that exist in the facility or the management of the facility that may present a
    challenge to management to effectively control.
    Module 5: Managing the Control Plan
    ? Discuss how you propose to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the control plan. How do you plan to
    measure plan effectiveness? Which factors considered in the plan are measurable and if you set standards for
    control of the pathogen, are the standards measurable and sufficient to actually control the pathogen? This
    must be based on science at best and should equal or exceed appropriate public health regulations. (This can
    be a very difficult task.)
    ? Who will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the plan? Discuss how you propose to monitor the plan?
    ? How do you propose to audit the control plan to ensure that it is functioning as planned? (Keep in mind that
    different levels of management perform monitoring, evaluations and audits of a system.)
    ? How are corrective measures implemented once a standard, procedure or policy for the control plan is found  to be out of compliance and in need of change?
