Trisodium Phosphate Food
Every year there are food recalls due to the potential risk of various foodborne pathogens, which can cause serious illness, sometimes even death. Here are some recalled food products to be aware for you, your children and even your pets.
Food Recalls Due to Salmonella
Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious illness such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. How does a person contract salmonella from something like pancake mix? Probably because the product contains eggs or traces of eggs. Raw eggs can carry the risk of salmonella. Typically commercial pancake mixes do not contain raw eggs, but rather pasteurized eggs where the egg has been treated with heat to kill any bacteria, including salmonella. These products also usually contain an acidifying agent, such as Monocalcium Phosphate, that will also kill any bacteria. In this particular case, the real risk is eating the raw batter or undercooked pancakes, as the proper heating process of 160 degrees Farenheit would kill the bacteria.
Since raw eggs are one of the main carriers of salmonella, it is necessary to be diligent with anything they are used in. Check the date on the package of eggs and always keep them refrigerated. Since children and the elderly are the most susceptible to contracting salmonella, it may not be a good idea to let children eat cake batter, cookie dough or undercooked eggs.
