Study Notes
Definition & Importance of Sanitation
- Sanitation refers to being free from harmful microorganisms and contaminants.
- It is crucial for preventing foodborne illnesses, maintaining food quality, and ensuring consumer safety.
Cleaning vs Sanitation
- Cleaning: Removal of visible dirt, dust, and debris.
- Sanitation: Eliminates harmful microorganisms to safe levels.
Goals of Food Sanitation
- Prevent food contamination and the spread of foodborne illnesses.
- Maintain the quality and integrity of food supplies.
Food Safety vs Food Quality
- Food Safety: Protects consumers from hazards (chemical, physical, biological).
- Food Quality: Focuses on sensory attributes (taste, texture, appearance) and customer satisfaction.
Concerns of Food Safety
- Risks from bacterial contamination and cross-contamination.
- Inadequate cooking temperatures and allergen presence.
- Chemical contamination, e.g., food additives and pesticides.
Sources of Foodborne Illness
- Bacteria: Salmonella (raw meat, eggs), Clostridium perfringens (sewage, soil), Bacillus cereus (cereals).
- Viruses: Hepatitis A from infected food handlers or contaminated water.
- Parasites: Toxoplasma from raw food, tapeworms from undercooked meats.
- Moulds: Can lead to mycotoxin production, causing symptoms like vomiting and convulsions.
Signs of Spoilage
- Food may appear slimy or emit unpleasant odors.
Types of Foodborne Illness
- Salmonellosis: Associated with raw milk, raw eggs, undercooked meat.
- Campylobacteriosis: Linked to undercooked poultry.
- Listeriosis: Related to soft cheese and deli meats.
Cross-Contamination
- Direct cross-contamination involves handling allergens or contaminated foods.
- Indirect occurs through shared utensils or surfaces.
Proper Storage and Handling
- Use separate utensils for allergens to prevent cross-contamination.
- Maintain proper storage conditions to prevent mould growth.
Potentially Hazardous Foods
- Require refrigeration, including fish, meats, and cooked rice.
- High moisture content promotes pathogen growth.
Cleaning Procedure Steps
- Identify cleaning materials and equipment needed.
- Prepare a master cleaning schedule: responsibilities, timing, methods.
- Forecast cleaning supply requirements and ensure timely purchase.
Case Study Example
- Sausage left out from breakfast should be discarded to prevent foodborne illness.
- Notify management, sanitize the area, and wash hands afterward.
Regulatory Compliance
- Sanitation practices help in adhering to food safety regulations.
- Consumer preferences shape food quality regulations, which may lack specificity.
Conclusion
- Maintaining hygienic practices in food handling is vital for consumer safety and quality control.
