Study Notes
Pest Control
- Pesticides in foodservice should only be applied by a licensed pest control operator.
Handwashing Facilities
- Handwashing sinks must be supplied with potable (drinkable) water.
- Must have hot and cold water, soap, a hand-drying method, and a garbage container.
Sanitization Requirements
- Walls do not require sanitization.
- Food-contact surfaces must be clean and sanitized before switching between different food types.
Cross-Connection and Backflow Prevention
- Dropping a hose into a mop bucket creates a cross-connection.
- To prevent backflow, sinks must have an air gap.
Chemical Storage and Labeling
- Containers used for cleaning substances should always be labeled with contents for safety.
- Well-lit chemical storage areas are crucial for safety.
Cleaning Schedules
- Master cleaning schedules should detail what needs to be cleaned, when, by whom, and the methods used.
Prevention of Hazards
- Correct ventilation prevents grease and condensation buildup.
- Actions taken during imminent health hazards may include immediate fixing or closing the operation.
Garbage Disposal
- Garbage cans should be cleaned away from food and utensils to maintain hygiene.
Dishwashing Procedures
- In a heat-sanitizing dishwasher, the final rinse must reach a minimum temperature of 180°F (82°C).
- The first compartment of a three-compartment sink should contain wash water, and after scraping and washing, the third step is rinsing.
Equipment Storage
- Table-mounted equipment must be elevated at least 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground.
- Mops should be hung on hooks between uses to ensure proper hygiene.
Staff Training
