    Thermometer Calibration

    • Calibrating the thermometer is required by the manufacturer to ensure accuracy.
    • The thermometer should be accurate to +/-2°F or +/-1°C.

    Temperature Control

    • Temperature may vary in food, highlighting the need for temperature control.
    • Shell eggs should be stored at an air temperature of 45°F (7°C) or below.
    • Raw seafood should be handled at temperatures below 41°F (5°C) to prevent hazards.

    Food Handling Hazards

    • Torn packaging on food products, such as bags of organic cookies, can pose a hazard.
    • Food handlers should not wear torn gloves to prevent contamination.
    • Raw ground beef should be handled for less than an hour to prevent hazards.
    • Raw chicken should not be prepped on a yellow cutting board to prevent cross-contamination.
