Study Notes
Viruses and Pathogens
- Viruses can survive in both refrigerator and freezer temperatures.
- Pathogens thrive in low-acid foods.
- Bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes under optimal conditions (FAT TOM: Food, Acidity, Temperature, Time, Oxygen, Moisture).
Cross-contamination and Food Handling
- Cross-contamination involves safe food contacting harmful contaminants during preparation.
- Food prepared off-site must be packed in insulated containers, contrary to false assumptions.
- Cutting off moldy parts of food is not safe; discard the entire item.
- Gloves do not eliminate the need for hand washing; hands must be cleaned before and after glove use.
Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Food Safety Standards
- Cleaning reduces pathogens but does not eliminate all hazards.
- Use heat to sanitize objects; water should be at least 180°F.
- The proper sequence for food-contact surface sanitation is cleaning, rinsing, sanitizing, and air-drying.
Food Storage and Preparation
- TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) foods should be held at a minimum of 135°F.
- Raw ground meat must be stored above whole turkey in the refrigerator.
- Discard ready-to-eat TCS food after 7 days if stored at 41°F or lower.
Hazard Analysis and Prevention
- HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) focuses on major hazards during food handling.
- Biological, physical, and chemical are the three categories of food safety hazards.
- Viruses are the leading cause of food-borne illnesses.
Food Temperature Safety
- Foods should be cooked to specific internal temperatures:
- Whole chicken: 165°F
- Pork roast: 145°F
- Eggs for hot service: 155°F
- Brined ham: 155°F
- The temperature danger zone for pathogens is 41°F to 135°F.
Personal Hygiene and Employee Health
- The foremost personal hygiene practice is hand washing, emphasizing the immune system's importance in illness defense.
- Employees with diarrhea or vomiting should stay home to prevent contagion.
Cleaning Practices
- A master cleaning schedule details the 'what, when, who, and how' for cleaning equipment.
- Garbage should be emptied every four hours, and containers must be lined with a clean plastic liner after disposal.
Allergen Control
- Cross-contact occurs when allergenic food contaminates other food during preparation.
- Correct measures must be in place to prevent allergenic contamination.
Measurement and Tools
- Moisture in foods is measured by Aw (water activity); potentially hazardous foods have a measurement of 0.85 Aw or higher.
- Critical control points are critical in food processes where hazards can be mitigated or eliminated.
