“Food to me is more than a science. It’s an art. It’s a culture. In every community, we have a different ritual formed around food, including how we handle food,” - Yaohua Feng (@YaohuaF, @FengsLab1), @PurdueFoodSci assistant professor and #PurdueExtension food safety specialist.

Congratulations to Dr.@merlyn_thomas! I still remembered when we first met at @IAFPFood. Passion for #foodsafety get us together. Starting a PhD, during COVID was never easy, but you did it and finished strong. I am so proud of you! Good luck with the new chapter of life in #NJ.

We enjoyed learning about food science and food safety with our food community! Happy Spring Fest! #Purdue #springfest

Research, education and partner collaborations by @YaohuaF is improving food safety for consumers. Did you know that even low-moisture foods, such as flour and spices can present a food poisoning risk?

Flour may contain harmful bacteria. Fully cook products according to directions before eating.
Instructions circulating online for heat treating flour at home do not make flour safe to eat raw. Keep the Dos and Don’ts of safe flour handling in mind: https://t.co/lc1ZqZkoJ5

This project started in 2018. We developed the educational materials in both English and Spanish, then evaluated this program in 2020. I want to thank all the students and collaborators for their hard work, and give a special thank to our participants. Congratulations, Team!

@RandalOulton This restaurant puts cranberries. It is more like a coleslaw. I would suggest to slice the broccoli for this salad, for the better texture (not food safety reason).

[Yaohua Feng @YaohuaF]

I often ask myself the same question as I ask my survey participants, “what is #Ready-To-Eat food?” At a local favorite restaurant, a #healthy broccoli salad side was served. The veggie was not blanched or steamed. But is it or should it be ready-to-eat?

[Yaohua Feng @YaohuaF]

@phagetype30 I wonder if our small broccoli producers recognize that their broccoli is considered ready-to-eat? This can impact how they handle the produce.

Flour is a raw ingredient and potential carrier of foodborne pathogens. Proper cooking can eliminate potential bacteria, but @PurdueFoodSci's @YaohuaF says there is no evidence that heat-treating flour in an oven or microwave kills these pathogens. https://t.co/jx9jmHVdP1
