Study Notes
Safety Standards in Food Product Flow
- Receiving: Poor receiving procedures increase the chance of theft, accepting underweight merchandise and contamination/waste resulting from accepting products not meeting specifications. Always check packaged foods for leaks, bulges, dents, broken seals, damage, rust and missing labels.
- Red Meat: Fresh meat should be firm and elastic. "Off" odors and sliminess indicate spoilage. Frozen meat must be received frozen and packaged to prevent freezer burn.
- Poultry: Chicken, turkey, duck, and geese should be without "off" odors or soft meat tissues (signs of spoilage). Sticky wings and darkened wing tips are indicators for rejecting poultry.
- Eggs: Eggs should be firm, white should cling to yolk, free of noticeable odor and cracks.
- Fish: Fresh fish have a mild pleasant odor, bright, shiny scales, bulging eyes and bright red, moist gills. Fish flesh should be firm and elastic.
- Vegetables/Fruits: Raw produce, generally not considered hazardous, should be thoroughly washed. Purchase from approved suppliers and wash thoroughly to remove contaminants before being cut, combined with other ingredients, cooked or served.
- Storage: Stock rotation, FIFO (First In, First Out), is important. Utilize dry storage, refrigerators, and freezers.
Food Preparation
- Food Preparation: "Small batch" preparation, avoid temperature abuse, and good handwashing are essential. Use four acceptable thawing methods: under cool running water, in a microwave (followed by immediate cooking), in a refrigerator, or as part of the cooking process.
- Cooking: Cooking heats food and destroys harmful microorganisms.
Serving Food
- Serving Food: Always practice good personal hygiene. Do not touch food or surfaces with bare hands. Hold utensils by the handles and do not touch rims of glasses. Handle plates and bowls by the bottom or outer rim. Be mindful of cross-contamination.
