Temperature Guidelines
- Potentially Hazardous Foods (PHF) must be reheated to 165°F.
- Cooked foods must cool from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then to 41°F within 6 hours.
Thawing and Storing Guidelines
- Recommended thawing method is refrigeration at 41°F or below.
- Food must be stored at least 6 inches above the floor.
HACCP Principles
- HACCP plans consist of 7 principles, focusing on hazard analysis and monitoring critical control points.
- Verification means periodically checking the system's proper function.
Pest Control and Safety measures
- Pest control must avoid training employees on pesticide usage and focus on maintaining clean work areas and sealing cracks.
- Animals in establishments are limited to service animals; no pets allowed.
Food Transportation and Safety
- Food, such as tuna salad, must be kept at 41°F or below when transported.
- Acidity levels below 4.6 inhibit bacterial growth in foods.

- Shellfish identification tags should be kept for 90 days, ensuring traceability in food safety.
- Establish vinyl requirements and follow proper chemical safety practices in the kitchen environment.### Food Safety Essentials
- Beef Jerky: A dehydrated meat product that requires proper handling to prevent microbial growth.
- Critical Control Points (CCP): Specific steps in the food preparation process that must be monitored to ensure food safety; example includes cooking chicken to the correct temperature.
- Ground Beef Cooking Temperature: Must reach a minimum of 155°F to ensure pathogens are killed.
Health Risks & Contaminants
- Hepatitis A: A virus commonly spread via the fecal-oral route, posing significant risks in food service.
- Cross-Contamination: Raw foods should always be stored beneath ready-to-eat foods to avoid the risk of contamination.
- Trichinosis Prevention: Effective methods include cooking pork thoroughly and obtaining it from approved sources; refrigerating alone is not sufficient.
Proper Food Handling
- Thawing Methods: Acceptable methods include refrigeration at 41°F or below and microwave defrosting; using running water at 100°F is not approved.
- Cooking Foods in Microwaves: Must be cooked to 165°F to ensure safety.
- Danger Zone for Bacteria: Defined as the temperature range of 41°F to 135°F where bacteria proliferate.
Hygiene Practices
- Handwashing: Should take at least 20 seconds and may include all exposed areas; cloth towels for drying can lead to contamination.
- Food Employee Exclusion: Employees with symptoms like sore throat and fever should be restricted from food preparation tasks.
Temperature Control & Monitoring
- Food Thermometers: A calibrated digital thermometer is ideal for checking cooking temperatures accurately.
- Cooling Foods: Use shallow pans, stir food, and utilize potable ice; avoid covering tightly while cooling.
Miscellaneous Safety Practices
- Buffet Monitoring: Staff should be vigilant against violations like reusing plates, which increases contamination risk.
- Labeling PHF: Potentially Hazardous Foods must indicate a Consume By Date, which is 7 days from preparation.
- Food Delivery Schedule: Deliveries should occur during off-peak hours to minimize handling risks.
Light and Storage Conditions
- Workspace Illumination: Minimum light intensity over food prep areas should be 540 lux (50 foot candles).
- Storage Practices: Maintain raw foods below cooked items and avoid storing tightly covered cooling foods on counters.
Employee Health & Safety
- Corrective Actions: Immediate action required if employees violate safety protocols such as improper handwashing or food preparation practices.
- Use of Gloves: If gloves become soiled, they must be removed before handwashing, and new gloves should be applied afterward.
These notes emphasize critical food safety practices, proper handling techniques, and hygiene standards to ensure safe food preparation and prevent the spread of illness in food service settings.
