    Study Notes

    The Flow of Food

    • Maintaining food safety involves preventing cross-contamination and time-temperature abuse at all stages.
    • Food can become unsafe if mishandled during transport, storage, or cooking.

    Preventing Cross-Contamination

    • Use separate equipment for different food types to prevent cross-contamination.
    • Clean and sanitize work surfaces, utensils, and equipment after each food preparation task.

    Separate Equipment

    • Utilize distinct sets of tools for raw poultry, raw meat, and produce to avoid cross-contact.
    • Color-coded cutting boards and utensil handles enhance food safety by clearly distinguishing equipment for various food types.

    Clean and Sanitize

    • Scrub and disinfect all food contact surfaces after preparation to eliminate harmful pathogens.
    • Simple rinsing is insufficient; thorough washing, rinsing, and sanitizing are essential, especially after handling raw foods.

    Prep Food at Different Times

    • Prepare raw meat, fish, and poultry separately from ready-to-eat foods when using the same workspace.
    • Clean and sanitize surfaces between different food preparations to further reduce contamination risks.

    Buy Prepared Food

    • Opt for food items that require minimal preparation, such as precooked or pre-chopped products to limit handling and contamination risks.

    Preventing Time-Temperature Abuse

    • Time-temperature control is crucial; food should not be held in the 41ºF to 135ºF (5ºC to 57ºC) range, known as the temperature danger zone, for too long.

    Time-Temperature Control

    • TCS (Time-Controlled for Safety) food is vulnerable to pathogens if it remains in the danger zone.
    • Any exposure in this temperature range for four or more hours necessitates discarding the food to prevent foodborne illness.

    Avoid Time-Temperature Abuse

    • Monitor time and temperature diligently using appropriate thermometers.
    • Record temperatures regularly and ensure corrective measures are taken if standards are not met.

    Monitoring Time and Temperature

    • Utilize various thermometers, including bimetallic stemmed thermometers, thermocouples, and infrared thermometers, to accurately measure food temperatures.
    • Implement time-temperature indicators (TTI) and maximum registering thermometers for effective food safety management.
