Study Notes

Supplier Selection and Goods Receiving

One way to ensure reputable suppliers are chosen is to check if they have a HACCP program in place.
An important aspect of receiving goods from suppliers is to inspect the supplier's warehouse or manufacturing facility.

Food Storage Guidelines

A key guideline for general food storage is to keep potentially hazardous food out of the temperature danger zone (between 5°C and 60°C).
Meat and poultry should ideally be stored in separate refrigerators.
Dry food should be stored using the first-in, first-out principle and kept away from walls and off the floor to prevent pest infestation and moisture buildup.

Temperature Control

The general rule for holding food in terms of temperature is to maintain a temperature of 5°C or below for refrigeration and -18°C or below for freezing.
If there's no external thermometer in the fridge/freezer, the internal temperature of the appliance should be checked regularly.
It's important to check the internal temperature of food using a thermometer to ensure it's within the safe temperature range.

Refrigerator Storage

When storing food in refrigerators, it's essential to avoid overcrowding, as it can lead to temperature control issues.
Dry food should be kept away from walls and off the floor to prevent pest infestation and moisture buildup.

Additional Tips

When practicality is an issue, meat and poultry can be stored in the same refrigerator if they are wrapped or covered to prevent cross-contamination.
It's crucial to implement a regular cleaning and sanitation schedule to prevent contamination and pest infestation.
