Study Notes
Food Safety Fundamentals
- Food that makes people sick can taste normal, emphasizing the importance of food safety practices.
- Food sanitation rules mandate that someone must oversee operations and ensure compliance in a restaurant.
Personal Hygiene and Illness Prevention
- An infected cut requires washing hands, bandaging, and covering with a glove to prevent contamination.
- Notify management if feeling unwell before reporting for work; symptoms like sore throat and fever necessitate going home.
- For egg preparation, only remove the necessary number of eggs to avoid contamination.
Safe Food Handling Practices
- Proper sanitization involves washing, rinsing, and sanitizing tools after use.
- Gloves create a barrier between hands and food, enhancing safety. Change gloves before handling ready-to-eat foods.
Temperature Control and Safe Cooking
- Cook ground beef to a minimum of 155°F (68°C) to eliminate harmful germs.
- Hot food storage equipment must maintain temperatures of 135°F (57°C) or higher to inhibit bacterial growth.
Cross-Contamination and Safe Storage
- Store raw meat, fish, and poultry below ready-to-eat foods in the refrigerator to prevent cross-contamination.
- Store unwashed or raw foods away from ready-to-eat foods to mitigate contamination risks.
Food Temperature Guidelines
- The danger zone for food safety is between 41°F to 135°F, where bacteria thrive.
- Cold food should be held at or below 41°F; check internal temperatures regularly.
- Reheat food for hot holding to reach 165°F within two hours from the danger zone.
Foodborne Illness and Symptoms
- Foodborne illness occurs when individuals become sick due to contaminated food.
- Contamination can arise from factors like foodborne illnesses, sneezing, and unwashed hands.
Understanding Foodborne Pathogens
- Parasites live on or in a host, causing harm, and can contribute to food safety issues.
- It's crucial to keep different types of raw meat separated to avoid cross-contamination from varied pathogens.
Equipment and Tools
- A food thermometer's effective range is from 0°F to 220°F to accurately check food temperatures.
- Meat slicers need to be washed, rinsed, and sanitized after each use for safe food preparation.
Safe Food Serving Practices
- Unpackaged prepared food that requires no additional preparation can be served using clean utensils like tongs or spatulas.
