    Study Notes

    Food Safety Fundamentals

    • Foodborne illness is a disease transmitted by consuming contaminated food.
    • Hazards in food safety are categorized into biological, chemical, and physical types.

    Biological Hazards

    • Biological hazards include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can contaminate food.

    Chemical Hazards

    • Chemical hazards consist of substances such as cleaners, sanitizers, polishes, and machine lubricants that can pose risks to food safety.

    Physical Hazards

    • Physical hazards involve foreign objects like glass, metal shavings, fruit pits, staples, dirt, bandages, and jewelry which can contaminate food.

    Unsafe Food Practices

    • Acts of poor hygiene, time-temperature abuse, cross-contamination, and inadequate cleaning and sanitizing contribute to food safety issues.
    • Cross contamination occurs when pathogens transfer from one surface or food to another.
    • Time-temperature abuse happens when food is held at temperatures conducive to pathogen growth, specifically between 41°F and 135°F.

    Handwashing Importance

    • Handwashing is vital for preventing the spread of pathogens. The process includes five steps:
      • Wet hands and arms.
      • Apply soap.
      • Scrub hands and arms thoroughly.
      • Rinse hands and arms.
      • Dry hands and arms.

    Glove Use Protocol

    • Change gloves immediately when they become dirty or torn, before starting a new task, after handling raw foods, and every four hours during continuous use.

    Temperature Control for TCS Foods

    • Hot food must be maintained at 135°F (57°C) and cold food at 41°F (5°C) for safety.
    • Frozen food should remain frozen.
    • Regular temperature checks for TCS foods should occur every four hours.

    Cross-Contamination Prevention

    • Prevent cross-contamination by covering food before storage, using designated containers, and ensuring food storage areas are clean and organized.
    • Ready-to-eat food must be stored above raw proteins.

    Cleaning and Sanitizing

    • Cleaning removes food and dirt, while sanitizing reduces pathogens to safe levels.
    • Ensure sanitizer efficiency by checking temperature, correct amount, and proper soaking time.

    Pest Control

    • Pests can carry pathogens; signs of rodents include gnaw marks, droppings, and nests.
    • Cockroach signs consist of capsule-shaped egg cases, a strong odor, and droppings resembling black pepper grains.

    Safe Food Preparation

    • Maintain cleanliness by sanitizing workstations, avoiding raw food contact with ready-to-eat items, and cleaning surfaces between different food products.

    Thermometer Calibration

    • Calibrate thermometers using crushed ice and water, waiting for stabilization before adjusting to 32°F if necessary.

    Food Thawing Methods

    • Thaw food in a refrigerator at or below 41°F, under running water at 70°F or lower, in a microwave before immediate cooking, or as part of the cooking process.

    Cooking Temperatures for Proteins

    • Pork, beef, and fish must be cooked to 145°F for at least 15 seconds.
    • Ground meat requires 155°F for 15 seconds.
    • Poultry must reach 165°F for 15 seconds.

    Cooling Food Safely

    • Cool food from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and then to 41°F or lower within an additional 4 hours.

    Dishwashing Procedures

    • Use a three-compartment sink for washing dishes involving rinsing, cleaning with detergent, rinsing again, and sanitizing.
    • Dishes should then air dry upside down.

    Dishwasher Maintenance

    • Regularly maintain dishwashers by clearing spray nozzles and food traps, ensuring dispensers are full, and using descalers to remove mineral deposits.
