    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

    • A submerged hose during filling poses a contamination risk to the water supply.

    Cleaning & Sanitization

    • The third compartment of a three-compartment sink is designated for sanitizing.
    • 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

    • Air curtains at entrances help reduce pests, while hand sanitizers must meet specific safety criteria.
    • Regulatory authorities must be contacted in case of suspected foodborne illnesses to ensure public health safety.
