Study Notes
Food Safety and Hygiene
- Unsafe food handling by food service workers is a major cause of foodborne illness.
- Proper cleaning and sanitization of work surfaces and utensils is critical to prevent food contamination.
- Personal hygiene is essential in controlling the spread of foodborne illnesses.
Food Allergens
- The Big 8 allergens include milk, soy, eggs, wheat, fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts.
- Employees must be aware and cautious of these allergens when preparing and serving food.
TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety)
- TCS foods must not remain in the Temperature Danger Zone (TDZ) of 41°F to 135°F for more than 4 hours.
- Foods that exceed this time must be discarded to prevent foodborne illness.
Illness Reporting
- Food service employees are legally obligated to notify supervisors when they are sick.
- Employees should report symptoms such as sore throat with fever to management.
Contamination Hazards
- Food contamination can arise from three primary hazards: biological, chemical, and physical.
- Cross-contamination occurs when microorganisms transfer from one surface to another.
Proper Food Handling
- Employees should work in small batches to minimize the time food spends in the TDZ.
- Handwashing is vital; hands should be scrubbed thoroughly for 10-15 seconds after handling food.
Food Storage and Labeling
- FIFO (First In, First Out) is a method used to ensure food freshness.
- Properly label stored foods with dates to maintain safety and organization.
Food Temperature Management
- Raw and ready-to-eat foods must be stored separately, with ready-to-eat items above raw foods in storage.
- The correct delivery temperature for meat is 41°F or lower, and poultry must be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F.
Cooling Procedures
- Hot foods must cool to 70°F within the first two hours using methods like ice baths or blast chillers.
Sanitizing Practices
- Cleaning involves removing dirt and food residue; sanitizing eliminates harmful microorganisms.
- Approved sanitizing solutions include chlorine and other chemical or heat-based methods.
Pest Control
- Regular inspections are essential for identifying signs of pest infestations, such as droppings or damaged packaging.
- Pests can carry microorganisms and contaminate food; thus, effective sanitation practices are needed to manage pest issues.
Employee Guidelines
- Jewelry restrictions apply during food preparation; only plain metal rings are permitted.
- After breaks, employees must wash hands and never dry them on clothing.
Important Temperature Protocols
- Regular calibration of thermometers is necessary for accurate temperature measurements.
- Microwave cooking must ensure food reaches 165°F for 15 seconds to ensure safety.
Responsibilities and Practices
- Each employee plays a role in maintaining food safety, with clear guidelines on reporting illness, properly handling food, and managing cleanliness in the workspace.
