Study Notes
Food Handling and Safety
- A food handler with a cut must wear a glove to prevent contamination.
- Bacteria thrive in protein-rich, moist, neutral to slightly acidic foods.
- Cold TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) foods must be checked with a calibrated thermometer upon receipt.
- Proper thawing of poultry requires running water at or below 68°F (20°C).
Sanitization and Contaminants
- Chlorine test kits measure the concentration of sanitizing solutions.
- Backsiphonage occurs when water pressure drops, allowing contamination.
- Hand antiseptics must be FDA approved for use.
- Salmon may carry physical contaminants like fish bones.
Cooking and Food Preparation
- Bare hands can be used to slice loaves of bread.
- Bacteria multiply rapidly in perishable foods left in the temperature danger zone.
- Seafood should always be sourced from approved suppliers to avoid toxins.
Food Storage and Temperature Control
- Water activity measures vapor pressure, relevant in food safety.
- Hot food, like beef stew, should not exceed 41°F (5°C) when stored; discard food at 82°F (28°F) after overheating.
- The use-by date for prepared seafood should align with the earliest ingredient date, in this case, May 17.
Safe Cooking Practices
- Hot cooked beef should be delivered at a minimum temperature of 135°F (57°C).
- The safest thawing method for large poultry like turkey is refrigeration at 41°F (5°C) or lower.
- Single-use gloves are essential for food handlers with open wounds.
Quality Control and Documentation
- Sushi-grade fish shipments must have supplier documentation verifying inspection and grading.
- The third compunction sink should contain sanitizing solution for effective cleaning.
Food Safety Protocols
- Eggs for omelets should be cracked in a clean, large container to ensure safety.
- Handwashing is crucial after any activity that contaminates hands.
- Chewing tobacco by food handlers is permitted only in designated areas.
Contamination Awareness
- Norovirus contamination is primarily due to improper handwashing.
- Food prep areas require shatter-resistant light bulbs to prevent physical contamination.
- Raw TCS foods must be stored at temperatures not exceeding 41°F (5°C).
