Study Notes

Food Handling Practices

Effective food stock rotation relies on the FIFO (First In, First Out) approach, ensuring older stock is used before newer deliveries.
For chest freezers, new stock should be placed at the bottom, with older stock on top for easy access.

Storing Dry Goods

Dry goods must be stored in a fly and vermin-proof area with good ventilation and lighting.
Storage must ensure no direct sunlight exposure to maintain acceptable temperature levels.
Shelves should be at least 30cm above the floor to allow cleaning access; food should never be stored on the floor.
Bulk food containers must be food-grade and have tight-fitting lids; these containers should be cleaned before refilling.
Foods past their 'use-by' date must be discarded; stock rotation using FIFO principles is essential.

Storing Refrigerated Goods

Refrigerated storage should maintain a temperature of 5°C or below to avoid the Temperature Danger Zone.
Minimize temperature fluctuations by ensuring doors are closed after use and by not overcrowding the cool room for air circulation.
Maintain separation of raw and cooked foods to prevent cross-contamination; raw foods must be stored below cooked foods.
Opened jars must be re-capped and refrigerated; foods past their use-by date must be discarded.
Food must not be stored on the cool room floor; employ proper stock rotation with date labels.

Storing Meat

Correct meat storage procedures are crucial for maximizing shelf life and preventing bacterial contamination.
Ideal storage conditions for meat include a temperature range of 1°C to 3°C and humidity levels of 85% to inhibit bacteria growth.
