Food police happy with the market | FOOD INSPECTORS are taking a close look at our farm- er’s market. “It’s one of the larger markets in the province, and growing very rapidly,’” said Pam Morg?::. a food inspector with the federal Canadiam Food Inspection Agency. She was in Terrace late last month, looking at the market. Morgan works closely with her provincial counterparts at the Northwest Community Health Services Society (the former Skeena Health Unit). “This market is a bit unique in the province in that it has a high percentage of food items,’’ said Ron Craig, manager of health protection for the services society. He sald more than half of the vendors sell food, making the market much like a restaurant. Craig’s health inspectors visit the market to make sure food sold there has been prepared and transported safely. “Basically we’re there to make sure hot foods are kept hot and cold foods are kept cold,”’ he said. Morgan and the federal government look after foods prepared at home, like canning. During her visit here Morgan took samples back to her Kelowna office to be tested in labs. “My biggest concern was preserved, low acid foods,’” she sald. ‘That would be canned vegetables, fish, meats and antipastos with meat in them. Jams and jellies aren't a big concern, she said, since there’s little hazard involved in preparing them. Tests are slill ongoing, but Morgan predicts there shouldn’t be any problems with the products. “Tn general, the food processing techniques appeared to be in good order.”’ But she joked that the market was quite small the day she showed up — rumours of her visit preceded her —so she can’t give a carte blanche to all the vendors. Morgan will be receiving periodic samples from local in- spectors for testing, She wants to educate new vendors and make sure they know how to keep food safe. That’s what Craig is doing as well. '‘“We’ve taken a very reasonable approach — we're just asking for the basics, like water and soap for vendors to wash their hands with,’ said Craig, “We're not asking for stainless steel walls.” He’s had to shut down a few vendors, such as someone who tried to sell home made spaghetti meat sauce and sushi. “Sushi is very risky. Even in a sophisticated establish- ment it has to be prepared with real care,”’ he said. And vendors selling jams and jellies might have to make a few changes, such as using mason jars instead of baby food jobs. That’s because baby food jars aren't designed to be ie- sterilized, and are made of lower quality glass, said Craig. The increased attention has been well accepted by farm- er’s market organizers. Most vendors have chosen to comply with the food regulations, rather than stop coming to the market, said president Ian Gordon. He wants the market to maintain ils good reputation and to avoid problems bringing on bad publicity. Gordon says the governments have been very fair with the market, adding he’s heard of other markets having problems with inspectors. James W.
