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.
