Study Notes
Food Safety Practices
- HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is essential for establishments that package ROP (Reduced Oxygen Packaging) food.
- Food delivery vehicles must be checked to prevent contamination during transportation.
- Canned goods should be inspected thoroughly upon receipt and stored properly.
Food Temperature Management
- In hot holding equipment, food temperature checks should occur every four hours.
- Cooked chili must be reheated to 165°F within two hours to prevent time-temperature abuse.
Handwashing and Hygiene
- Proper handwashing technique includes running hot water, applying soap, scrubbing hands and arms, rinsing, and drying.
- Employees must wash hands and change gloves after certain activities to reduce contamination risks.
Food Handling Guidelines
- Cross-contamination occurs when raw foods mix with cooked foods, posing a serious health risk.
- Raw fruits and vegetables should be washed with potable water before cooking.
Food Servicing Regulations
- Self-service bars must employ safe practices, such as maintaining hot food above 135°F and allowing the reuse of glassware.
- A food establishment serving undercooked proteins requires a HACCP plan, especially for high-risk items.
Pest Control and Safety Measures
- Proper pest storage involves keeping pesticides clearly labeled and locked up to prevent accidents.
- Signs of pest activity, such as oily odors and brush marks, indicate potential roach or rodent infestations.
Temperature Safety Standards
- Refrigerators should ideally be kept at or below 41°F for safe food storage.
- Checking the temperature of meat upon delivery is crucial in ensuring food safety.
Contamination Prevention
- Chemical sanitizing effectiveness can be monitored using test strips to measure PPM (parts per million).
- Trained staff should disconnect power before cleaning electric food preparation equipment to ensure safety.
Health and Allergy Awareness
- Individuals experiencing fever, vomiting, or diarrhea should be excluded from food handling to maintain safety standards.
- Allergic reactions to certain foods can lead to severe health emergencies known as anaphylaxis.
Proper Food Storage Techniques
- Foods prone to contamination should be stored off the floor and in proper containers.
- The proper cooling method for large pots of food is to divide them into smaller containers placed in an ice water bath.
Food Supplier Criteria
- Food suppliers should comply with local, state, and federal health regulations to ensure safety and quality.
- Live oysters should be received with shells closed, and any open shells upon delivery should be rejected.
Food Preparation and Cooking Standards
- Cook potentially hazardous foods to recommended internal temperatures to ensure safe consumption.
- Foods like shrimp and peanuts can cause allergic reactions, which should be managed responsibly in food service settings.### Scurvy and Anaphylaxis
- Scurvy is a disease resulting from a deficiency of vitamin C, leading to symptoms like fatigue, swollen gums, and joint pain.
- Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur rapidly following exposure to an allergen.
Pest Identification
- Small scraps of paper and cloth in corners indicate a potential mice infestation in an establishment.
Food Safety Temperatures
- Fish is considered safe to eat if cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F for at least 15 seconds.
Food Storage Safety
- Improper storage occurs when raw ground beef is placed on a shelf above a tray of Bolognese sauce; this increases cross-contamination risk.
Bacteria Growth Conditions
- Bacteria thrive in environments with a pH range of 4.6 to 7.5, which is crucial for food safety practices.
Health Inspector Protocol
- When approached by someone claiming to be a health inspector, a manager should ask to see identification to verify their credentials.
