    Study Notes

    Food Safety and Risk Factors

    • Elderly individuals are at a higher risk for foodborne illnesses.
    • Seafood is commonly associated with parasitic infections, making it important to handle with care.
    • Ciguatera toxin is often found in Amberjack, a specific type of fish.

    Time and Temperature Control

    • A baked potato is classified as a Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food.
    • Ciguatera toxin falls under biological toxins, highlighting the need for careful sourcing of seafood.
    • Ready-to-eat food prepared onsite can be safely stored for a maximum of 7 days at or below 41°F.

    Health and Hygiene Practices

    • Staff with jaundice should be excluded from food service to prevent the spread of hepatitis A.
    • Proper handwashing begins with wetting hands and arms to ensure effective cleaning.
    • Food handlers must wash hands before and after handling raw meat, poultry, or seafood to mitigate cross-contamination risks.
    • Torn gloves require immediate change to maintain hygiene standards.

    Food Storage and Safety

    • Thermometers should be placed into opened containers to accurately check food temperatures.
    • A shipment of chicken should be rejected if the receiving temperature is at 50°F, indicating potential spoilage.
    • Ground fish should be stored below pork roasts in a cooler to prevent contamination.

    Cooking and Holding Temperatures

    • The minimum internal cooking temperature for rice that is hot held for service is 135°F.
    • The FDA advises against offering rare hamburgers on children's menus due to health risks.
    • Hot TCS food must reach a minimum reheating temperature of 165°F for 15 seconds.
    • Partially cooked food must also reach 165°F for 15 seconds before being served.

    Food Handling Procedures

    • Food held at 41°F can be maintained without temperature control for up to 6 hours; hot TCS food can be held for a maximum of 4 hours.
    • Unopened, pre-packaged food can be re-served to customers, reducing waste.
    • Critical limits in a HACCP plan aim to reduce hazards to safe levels, ensuring food safety throughout preparation and storage.

    Cleaning and Sanitizing Practices

    • The minimum water temperature for effective hot water sanitization is 171°F.
    • Corrective action in HACCP involves rehashing melons with surface dirt to ensure safety prior to serving.
    • The final step in cleaning and sanitizing a prep table is allowing the surface to air dry.
    • An iodine sanitizer solution must remain in contact for at least 30 seconds to effectively sanitize surfaces.
    • Food contact surfaces should be cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours if they are in constant use.

    Equipment and Practices

    • Rinsing is the third step in cleaning and sanitizing items in a three-compartment sink.
    • A penetration thermocouple probe is ideal for checking the internal temperature of a beef roast, ensuring correct cooking.
    • Washing, rinsing, and sanitizing utensils before each use are crucial to prevent cross-contamination and maintain food safety.
