Our Problem Our research project was on how peanut protein can cross-contaminate other foods and surfaces, creating health hazards to people with allergies. How can peanuts can contaminate other foods? The residue of the proteins in peanuts is left behind on surfaces when manufacturing, cooking, and eating foods containing peanut products. How can we find out if tables are contaminated by peanut proteins? By testing surfaces for residue. Do our schools and restaurants have specific ways for keeping customers and students safe from cross-contamination? Yes, some do. What can we do to help make sure these kinds of places are safe for everyone? Find out what cleans the residue the best, share what we learned, and give suggestions to help keep people safe when they eat. Our Research
Restaurant Interviews What kind of cleaning methods do you have, and how do you prevent cross-contamination when making food? Does your restaurant consider customer allergies when making food? What kind of oil do you use when preparing food for the customers? Does your restaurant have a peanut-free section or a peanut-free menu?
First Watch Chick-Fil-A Table Topper to use as a clean mat for eating on Schools Some Lakota schools have “Peanut-free Zones”, which are tables only for kids with allergies to peanuts. No foods with any kind of nuts can be eaten at those tables. Special menu to show what foods may contain peanuts
How easy is it to clean up peanut butter? Our Test Procedure • Step 1: Find two lunch tables to use in experiment to test contamination • Step 2: Test both tables with black light for previous contamination • Step 3: Contaminate one table and test for residue with black light • Step 4: Record the data on paper • Step 5: If the traces of peanut residue are found after cleaning, make a new solution to ensure that all peanut traces are gone Our Test • Suspend2-40W black lights close to the table to provide strong fluorescence response • Test 5 cleaning methods • 1. No cleaning (control) • 2. Dry paper towel • 3. Water only with a papertowel • 4. Fantastik spray cleaner with a paper towel • 5. Dawn dish detergent diluted with water • and a papertowel
Our Rankings after 5 runs Trial 2: 4 - Dawn and water 3 - Fantastik Spray 2 - Dry paper towel 5 - Plain water & paper towel 1 - Nothing (no cleaning) Trial 3: 4 - Dawn and water 3 - Fantastik Spray 2 - Dry paper towel 5 - Plain water & paper towel 1 - Nothing (no cleaning) Trial 1: 4 - Dawn and water 3 - Fantastik Spray 2 - Dry paper towel 5 - Plain water & paper towel 1 - Nothing (no cleaning) Trial 4: 4 - Dawn and water 3 - Fantastik Spray 2 - Dry paper towel 5 - Plain water & paper towel 1 - Nothing (no cleaning) Trial 5: 4 - Dawn and water 3 - Fantastik Spray 2 - Dry paper towel 5 - Plain water & paper towel 1 - Nothing (no cleaning) Our Conclusions • Dawn detergent in water with a paper towel had the edge due to its grease cutting ability • Other treatments appeared to clean well in regular light, but showed traces of peanut butter left behind under UV light
Our Solution • Recommend Dawn and water to remove all traces of peanut butter and avoid contamination! • In cafeteria and restaurant settings, recommend “Peanut-Free Zones” when possible to protect • Continue to share our information with local schools, restaurants and daycare centers to spread the awareness of the contamination potential • Mention the test kits as an additional measure?????
