Study Notes
Food Safety and Hygiene
- Elderly people are at higher risk for foodborne illness due to weakened immune systems.
- Seafood is commonly associated with parasites that can cause foodborne illness.
- Ciguatera toxin, a biological toxin, is commonly found in Amberjack fish.
Temperature Control and TCS Foods
- Baked potatoes are classified as Time-Temperature Control (TCS) foods.
- TCS foods must reach a minimum reheating temperature of 165°F for 15 seconds to ensure safety.
- Ready-to-eat food prepared on-site must be stored for no more than 7 days at 41°F.
- Hot TCS food can be held without temperature control for a maximum of 4 hours.
Handwashing and Glove Use
- To wash hands correctly, a food handler must first wet their hands and arms.
- Food handlers should change gloves if they are torn or after handling raw meats, poultry, or seafood.
- Hands should be washed after leaving and returning to the prep area and after handling food.
Food Handling and Storage Practices
- Ground fish should be stored below pork roasts in a cooler to prevent cross-contamination.
- Chemicals should be stored away from prep areas to prevent contamination.
- Foods such as lettuce, halibut, beef roast, and ground chicken should be stored in this order: halibut on top, followed by beef roast, ground chicken, and lettuce on the bottom.
Food Safety Regulations and Practices
- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires the provision of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for hazardous materials.
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is responsible for inspecting food.
- Cross-contamination can be prevented by purchasing food from approved suppliers.
Effective Cleaning and Sanitizing
- Cleaning involves washing, rinsing, and sanitizing, with rinsing being the third step in a three-compartment sink process.
- Utensils should be cleaned and sanitized after guests leave the table to avoid contamination.
Allergies and Illness Prevention
- Symptoms like jaundice require exclusion of food handlers from work to prevent Hepatitis A spread.
- Food handlers should inform customers about how items are prepared to prevent allergic reactions, with specific attention given to rare cheeseburgers on children's menus.
HACCP Principles
- Critical limits in a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan are set to reduce hazards.
- The first step in developing a HACCP plan is to conduct a hazard analysis.
Safe Food Practices
- A food handler with a sore throat and fever should be excluded from the operation, especially if serving high-risk populations.
- Items that have been recalled should be segregated and stored separately from food that will be served.
Temperature Management
- Food temperatures should be taken in multiple locations to ensure accuracy since temperature may vary within the food.
- Infrared thermometers measure surface temperature, while penetration probes are used for checking internal temperatures.
Miscellaneous Food Safety Guidelines
- Food held at temperatures between 70°F and 125°F promotes bacterial growth.
- Preset, unwrapped utensils should be cleaned and sanitized if left unused after guests depart.
- Food like bean sprouts from reputable suppliers is allowed without a variance from a regulatory authority.
Recall and Re-service Protocols
- Unopened, pre-packaged food may be re-served, while items like bread should not be re-served if uneaten.
- Food that has signs of dampness, like flour, should be rejected and returned to the supplier.
Special Considerations
- Children are at risk for foodborne illness due to compromised immune systems, as are individuals on certain medications.
