Study Notes
Dishwashing and Sanitizing
- The minimum temperature for the final rinse in a heat sanitizing dishwashing machine is 180°F.
- Using shields on fluorescent lightbulbs where food is stored helps reduce physical contamination risks.
Food Handler Regulations
- Food handlers displaying jaundice must be excluded from handling food to prevent contamination.
Temperature Control
- The temperature danger zone for food safety is between 41°F and 135°F, where bacteria can grow rapidly.
- Raw meat, poultry, and seafood should be stored at an internal temperature of 41°F or lower.
Food Safety Practices
- Cross-contamination can be minimized by using separate cutting boards for raw TCS (Temperature Control for Safety) food and ready-to-eat food.
- After washing hands, single-use paper towels should be used for drying to prevent bacteria transfer.
- Pasteurized eggs must be used for raw or undercooked dishes served to high-risk populations.
Allergies and Foodborne Illness
- Peanuts and soy products are common allergens that can pose serious risks to individuals with food allergies.
- Symptoms such as wheezing may indicate a customer is having an allergic reaction.
Storage and Transportation
- TCS food should be transported in insulated containers to maintain safe temperatures.
- Food in storage should follow the first in, first out (FIFO) method to ensure freshness.
- Ready-to-eat TCS food that has been prepared in-house must be labeled if held for longer than 24 hours.
Pesticides and Chemicals
- Only pest control operations should apply pesticides in food handling areas, which must be stored securely away from food.
- The effectiveness of chemical sanitizers is not influenced by their color.
Hygiene and Practices
- Food handlers must wash their hands after bus tables before handling food.
- A plain band ring is the only acceptable jewelry to wear on hands or arms while working with food.
Food Safety Education
- Learners need to practice skills to effectively learn new food safety protocols.
- Time-temperature abuse can lead to histamine formation in tuna, which can be harmful if consumed.
Facility Management
- In cases of backup raw sewage, promptly close the affected area and clean it to maintain sanitation.
- The arrangement of food in a cooler should follow the bottom-to-top shelving order based on the minimum internal cooking temperature for safety.
Integrated Pest Management
- The foundational rule of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program is to deny pests access to the facility.
