Can you eat canned fruit after date on tin?

I have routinely eaten canned fruit after their expiration dates. That applies to most canned foods as well. One that doesn't last is canned milk. Toss it after it expires. Beans. canned meat, veggies, soup etc, all last much longer than expiration dates without altering taste or texture much. As long as the can is not punctured it should last much longer. One reason for expiration dates is of course safety. The other being likely, that companies want to sell their products, even if you can't keep up to eating them. So go ahead oand buy on sale eat later.

What is the difference between ketchup and cocktail sauce?

No, not in the actual condiment. The two versions are merely alternate Westernized spellings of the original fish-based Chinese sauce that ketchup hails from. This proto-ketchup became popular among Western traders in the late 17th century.

As it gained traction in Europe, the sauce went through many incarnations (including a walnut-based version) before settling on the tomato goop we know and love. That’s why it says “tomato ketchup” on some bottles—it seems redundant today, but that’s only because no one goes around asking for walnut ketchup anymore.

“Ketchup” is the more popular spelling, and it became so in the mid to late 20th century. Heinz was an early “ketchup” adopter, and other big brands switched over as it gained more market share. But either spelling is technically acceptable—for example, the USDA exclusively uses “catsup.”

Which food is a potential source of foodborne illness due to mercury contamination?

Elemental mercury and most of its compounds are extremely toxic.

Practically all foods and drugs containing significant amounts of mercury were banned in most countries before 1999.

Some fish and shellfish with a high trophic level can have roughly 1 part per million of mercury, far higher than any plants or land animals.

The US FDA seems to think that the benefits of eating fish outweigh the risks from such tiny amounts of mercury for everyone except young children and women of child-bearing age.

Other common items that contain mercury are:

* dental amalgams

* some vaccines preserved in thiomersal (also spelled thimerosal)

* some cosmetics that contain thiomersal (also spelled thimerosal)

* mercury thermometers

* fluorescent bulbs

Do hot dogs go bad if they are left out?

Most hot dogs are precooked, you can eat them right out of the package. If yours is truly uncooked, then I wouldn't eat it. If it is like most others and it really is cooked, then it should be fine (as long as the temperature in the car was at 40 F). You might want to go ahead and heat it up to 160 degrees F, to kill off any bacteria.

Is silicon dioxide safe in food?

Sanitation and hygiene in the kitchen?

This is a very broad question.

Food Hygiene in a nutshell is the correct and appropriate handling, storage and date labelling of all food products and food groups to effectively control bacterial cross contamination between the food groups.

It also means having the knowledge required to know how certain food products need to be cooked to avoid causing illness such as the correct cooking temperatures for minced meat (meat that has been exposed to the air) and poultry products such as chicken which could give you E-coli.

Bacteria can only live and multiply at certain temperatures - hence we cook food to kill bacteria and chill or freeze it so that bacteria cannot multiply.

"Use by Dates" are also a very important part of food hygiene as it ensures the freshness and therefore quality of the food product. Obviously different food products can be stored for different amounts of time - meat and fish can be stored for slightly longer if chilled after being cooked rather then simply being stored fresh and raw in a refrigerated environment.

As a general rule dairy products shouldn't be out of a refrigerator for any longer than 15-20 minutes with the exception of some cheeses such as hard cheese like Parmesan.

Many restaurants with decent standards will also colour code their knives and chopping boards to ensure that, for instance only the green knife and board are used for vegetables and only the red knife and board for raw meat etc

That's the best I can do without you being more specific!

Steaks left in hot car for 4 hours is it safe to eat?

I'd toss them. Steak is not especially susceptible to various infections, and those pads in the styrofaom containers are laced with antiseptics, but ever so, 4 hours in near 90F or so would make a near-ideal bacterial medium. If you decide to not apply this warning, wash them thoroughly with water before cooking.
