Study Notes
Cross-Contamination
- Cross-contamination occurs when the same unwashed gloves are used to handle different types of meat, potentially spreading harmful microorganisms.
Sanitization Methods
- Sanitization can be achieved through various methods, but air drying is NOT effective for achieving sanitation.
Final Step in Sanitization Process
- The last step in the sanitization process is air drying surfaces and equipment completely.
Heated Water Sanitization
- To effectively sanitize using heated water, it must reach a temperature of 171°F for at least 30 seconds.
Items Requiring Sanitization
- While sanitizing is crucial, hair does not require sanitization like other food contact items.
Hazard Types
- The presence or growth of microorganisms is classified as a biological hazard, which poses risks in food safety.
Preventing Cross-Contamination
- Prevent cross-contamination by washing rubber boots before entering food storage areas to minimize the transfer of contaminants.
Complete Cleaning Process
- Food surfaces and equipment are not considered fully cleaned and sanitized until they have been allowed to air dry completely.
Sanitizers and Material Compatibility
- Use caution with sanitizers; iodine-based sanitizers should be avoided for copper cooking equipment and silver utensils due to potential chemical reactions.
Waste Disposal Conditions
- An immediate correction is needed if waste disposal containers lack covers, as this condition can attract pests and promote contamination.
