Study Notes
Food Safety and Allergies
- Chocolate sauce is safe to serve to highly susceptible populations, unlike poached eggs, medium-rare steak, or alfalfa sprouts which may pose risks.
- Designating a manager to handle all allergy-related questions enhances assistance for customers with food allergies, rather than simply cooking food correctly or suggesting customers contact regulatory authorities.
Food Labeling
- Foods prepared and packaged onsite for retail must disclose all ingredients in descending order by weight on their labels, not the recipe or inspection scores.
ALERT Food Defense Awareness
- ALERT stands for actions to mitigate the risk of intentional food contamination, emphasizing proactive measures over legal or regulatory reporting procedures.
Consumer Advisory
- Menu items such as eggs cooked to order require consumer advisories to inform customers of potential risks, unlike baked potatoes, celery sticks, or stir-fried vegetables.
Training and Cross-Contact
- Training food handlers in allergy awareness is crucial to prevent cross-contact when preparing foods, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
Biological Hazards
- Ciguatera toxin found in red snapper exemplifies a biological hazard, while pesticides, staples, and fish bones represent different hazard types (chemical or physical).
Employee Response to Allergens
- Employees unsure about food ingredients related to allergies should direct the inquiry to a manager rather than providing uncertain information, ensuring customer safety and trust.
Allergic Reactions
- Alfredo pasta is likely to cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals compared to candy, steak, or grilled chicken which are less likely to provoke allergies.
Allergens Identification
- Items like stir-fried tofu, cream of mushroom soup, pizza made with flour dough, or chocolate chip cookies can potentially contain allergens, underlining the importance of acknowledgment in food preparation contexts.
