Food Safety Practices

Use a scoop stored outside the ice machine to retrieve ice, minimizing contamination risks.
Cook scrambled eggs to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to ensure food safety.
Dispose of garbage when a can is nearly full by taking it to the dumpster to maintain cleanliness.

Temperature Control

The maximum cold-holding temperature for cheese trays and pasta salad is 41°F (5°C) to prevent bacterial growth.
Refrigerated food must be sold or served within 7 days after preparation if stored safely.
Maintain hot-holding temperatures for pulled pork and green bean casserole at a minimum of 135°F (57°C).

Cross-Contamination Prevention

Clean and sanitize knives and cutting boards when switching from raw chicken to ready-to-eat foods, like lettuce.
Use single-use gloves to prevent cross-contamination while handling ready-to-eat foods and during food preparation.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling raw products or personal items (e.g., credit cards) before preparing food.

Storage and Waste Management

Store sanitizing solutions and cleaning chemicals in a utility closet, away from food preparation areas.
Follow FIFO (First In, First Out) guidelines to ensure food is consumed in the order it was prepared.

Cleaning Protocols

After rinsing a dish, sanitize it to ensure it is safe for food use.
When cleaning and sanitizing in a three-compartment sink, perform the cleaning step before rinsing.

Pest Control

Identify signs of pest infestations, such as small black droppings, to maintain food safety in storage areas.

Personal Hygiene

Food workers should refrain from eating at their workstations; breaks are permitted in designated outdoor dining areas.
Protect food from pathogens by wearing gloves and limiting jewelry to a plain metal wedding band.

Safe Food Preparation

Thaw frozen fish fillets by submerging them in cold running water and thaw a turkey in the refrigerator for optimal safety.
Regularly check the temperature of hot-held soups to ensure safety and compliance with health standards.

Reporting Illness

Report symptoms such as jaundice and diarrhea to a manager as they can indicate foodborne illness risks.
No action is required for less severe symptoms like headaches during a shift, indicating workable conditions.
