Study Notes

Food Safety Regulations and Practices

Food safety is enforced by state or local authorities.
A Pest Control Program is included in food safety programs to mitigate risks.
Managers must ensure security measures to prevent food contamination and know who to contact about suspicious activities.

Health and Safety Protocols

If a food handler reports illness, they must be kept away from food.
Gloves should be changed when they become dirty or torn during food preparation.
Proper food storage includes placing items like macaroni salad above raw salmon in coolers.

Food Storage and Handling

Ready-to-eat Time/Temp Control for Safety (TCS) foods must be date-marked if stored for over 24 hours.
Hot food can be held without temperature control for up to 4 hours, maintaining a minimum of 135°F.
Cold food can be held without temperature control for up to 6 hours, maintaining no more than 70°F.

Consumer Information and Dishwashing

Consumer advisories are necessary for raw or uncooked TCS menu items.
The first step in using a three-compartment sink is cleaning and sanitizing the sinks and drainboards.
Waste and recyclables should be stored away from food contact surfaces.

Equipment and Safety

Floor-mounted equipment must be at least 6 inches away from the floor (10 centimeters).
Foodborne illness is transmitted through contaminated food.
An outbreak is confirmed when two or more individuals become ill from the same food.

Contamination and Compliance

Food contamination falls into three categories: biological, chemical, and physical.
Biological hazards include viruses and bacteria; chemical hazards include cleaners and sanitizers; physical hazards include broken glass and fish bones.
Five common risk factors resulting in foodborne illness: unsafe sourcing, improper cooking, incorrect holding temperatures, using contaminated equipment, and poor personal hygiene.

Understanding TCS Foods

TCS stands for Time/Temp Control for Safety, indicating environments where pathogens thrive.
TCS foods include dairy, milk, poultry, shell eggs, heat-treated plant-based foods, seafood, potatoes, and ready-to-eat foods.

Food Safety Training and Agencies

Individuals in charge must be certified food protection managers and present during operating hours.
The FDA inspects all foods except for meat, poultry, and eggs, which are inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researches causes of foodborne illness outbreaks, while state and local regulatory authorities write and adopt relevant codes.

Bacterial Growth Conditions

Acids do not promote bacterial growth.
Bacteria thrive rapidly between 41°F and 135°F.
Six conditions affecting bacterial growth are summarized as FAT-TOM: Food, Acid, Temperature, Time, Oxygen, and Moisture.

Awareness of Contagious Bacteria

Four highly contagious bacteria include Salmonella, nontyphoidal Salmonella, Shigella spp., and E. coli.
Salmonella resides only in humans and can be contracted via ready-to-eat foods and beverages.
Nontyphoidal Salmonella is linked to animals, particularly in poultry, eggs, meat, dairy, and produce.
