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.
