Study Notes

Cross-Contamination

  • Cross-contamination occurs when the same unwashed gloves are used to handle different types of meat, posing a food safety risk.

Sanitization Techniques

  • Sanitization can be achieved through various means; however, air drying is not an effective method.

Sanitization Process

  • Air drying is the final step in the sanitization process, ensuring that surfaces are free of moisture.

Sanitizing with Heat

  • To effectively sanitize using heated water, a temperature of 171°F must be maintained for a minimum of 30 seconds.

Importance of Sanitizing Items

  • It is crucial to sanitize surfaces and equipment, but hair does not require sanitization.

Hazard Types

  • The presence or growth of microorganisms presents a biological hazard, which is vital to consider in food safety.

Preventing Cross-Contamination

  • To prevent cross-contamination, it is important to wash rubber boots before entering food storage areas.

Cleaning and Sanitizing Requirements

  • Food surfaces and equipment are not fully cleaned until they have been allowed to air dry completely, ensuring no residual moisture is present.

Choosing the Right Sanitizer

  • When using copper cooking equipment and silver utensils, avoid using iodine-based sanitizers, which could cause discoloration.

Waste Disposal Conditions

  • Immediate correction is needed for waste disposal practices that involve containers without covers, as they can attract pests and cause contamination.
