Study Notes
Food Safety Concepts
- ALERT: An acronym to minimize intentional food contamination risks.
- Three-compartment sink: Must have an air gap for backflow prevention.
- Cleaning and sanitizing: Food contact surfaces must be cleaned after each task.
Food Handling Practices
- New recipes: Best trained through demonstration methods for food handlers.
- Garbage containers: Should be sealed with tight-fitting lids to prevent odors and pests.
- Refrigeration limit: Sliced roast beef can be stored for a maximum of 3 days at 41°F (5°C) before discarding.
Biological Safety Measures
- Biological contamination: Can be reduced by sourcing seafood from reputable suppliers.
Food Handling Risks
- Continuous slicing of meat presents risks if not managed properly, especially regarding the handling of meat during cleaning breaks.
Jewelry Policy
- Acceptable jewelry for food handlers is very limited, often just plain wedding bands or watches without stones.
Hepatitis A and Thawing Practices
- Source of hepatitis A: Commonly transmitted through contaminated food or water.
- Thawing shrimp: Best done in a refrigeration unit to prevent bacterial growth.
Personal Hygiene in Food Preparation
- Food handlers must remove all jewelry except for approved items and must wash hands properly, including arms from elbows up.
- Proper storage in dry areas includes maintaining cleanliness and avoiding cross-contamination.
Storage and Delivery Practices
- Store food items in a cooler, with fresh chicken on the bottom to prevent drips from contaminating other foods.
- Food recalls: Operations must follow specific protocols to ensure contaminated items are removed from circulation.
Contamination Risks

- Cleaning must involve thorough practices, such as rinsing after sanitization.
Pesticide Contamination
- Traces of pesticide on poultry represent a form of chemical contamination.
Employee Management
- Allowing disgruntled employees access to prep areas poses a food safety risk.
Allergen Awareness
- Major food allergens include soybeans; staff should be trained to recognize allergic reactions and comply with food safety protocols.
Corrective Actions
- Taking temperature readings during cooking processes is crucial to ensure food reaches safe temperatures.
Training Documentation
- Keeping records verifies that food safety training for staff was completed, enhancing accountability.
Overall Food Safety Protocols
