Study Notes

Sanitary Facilities, Equipment, and Integrated Pest Management

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a coordinated approach using pest and environmental information alongside pest control methods to prevent unacceptable pest damage with minimal risks to people, property, and the environment.
Refuse is solid waste not disposed of through the sewage system.
Garbage is food waste that cannot be recycled.
Clean and sanitary facilities, equipment, utensils, and food contact surfaces are essential for serving safe food.
Cleanable floors, walls, and ceilings simplify maintaining food safety in a kitchen.
Efficient workflows improve hygiene practices in kitchens.
Proper cleaning and sanitizing minimize cross-contamination risks.
Handwashing and good hygiene are important for food handlers to reduce contamination.
Sanitary facilities include potable hot and cold running water, adequate plumbing, toilet facilities, handwashing facilities, and trash cans.
Plumbing systems must efficiently remove sewage and liquid garbage.
Proper drainage prevents backflow and cross-contamination.
Raw sewage backups require immediate facility shutdown, cleaning, and sanitization.
Toilet facilities should be adequate, clean, and maintained.
Handwashing facilities should be strategically located and equipped with appropriate soap, dryers, or towels.
Trash cans should be emptied daily and lined with disposable liners.
Maintaining plumbing, sewage, electricity, lighting, ventilation, garbage disposal, and solid waste management is crucial.
Proper food establishment design ensures efficiency, sanitation, and food safety, aligning with menu trends and procedures.
Employee training is more important than design for food safety practices.
Sanitary plant design principles include control zones for different activities, temperature and moisture control to reduce microbial growth and facilitating sanitation to minimize contaminants.
Key factors in optimal design for efficiency include defining well-defined work areas for various activities, energy efficiency, collaboration between engineers and food service staff, and visualizing activities, creating flow diagrams, optimizing workflow for efficiency.
General areas in food establishments should have specific functions for receiving, storage, preparation, holding, service, warewashing, garbage handling, food display, housekeeping, and toilet facilities.
Workflows should minimize travel time and distance, and should be maintenance-friendly.
Walls and ceilings should be smooth, non-porous, and light-colored for easy cleaning.
Materials for walls and ceilings can be ceramic tile with clean grout, stainless steel, painted plaster or cinder block coated with epoxy.
Flooring should be non-absorbent, durable, and nonskid to ensure employee safety and easy cleaning.
Options for flooring include marble, quarry tile, sealed concrete, terrazzo, or coving for floor-wall junctions, carpeting in dining areas.
Equipment selection factors include design, construction, and durability for operational efficiency and safety.
Maintaining a pest-free food service establishment is important for food safety.
IPM combines sanitation, mechanical measures, and chemical methods to manage and prevent pest infestations.
Common pests include cockroaches (German, American, Brown-banded, Oriental), mice, and rats.
Cockroaches are one of the most common pests and can transmit microorganisms.
Rodents like mice and rats spread diseases and can contaminate food.
Crucial components of IPM include inspection, identification, sanitation, pest management, and evaluation.
