    • Linens used to line bread baskets should be replaced for each new customer.
    • Parasites are commonly associated with seafood, not baked goods, poultry, or produce.

    Pesticide Storage

    • Pesticides must be stored in clearly labeled containers away from food items.

    Proper Food Storage

    • Bare-hand contact is allowed only during washing of raw carrot garnishes.

    Temperature Control

    • Reheating soup to 165 F demonstrates taking corrective action to ensure safety.
    • A test kit should be used to check sanitizing solution concentration.

    Contamination Prevention

    • Hard water reduces the effectiveness of sanitizers.

    • Example of sanitizing includes spraying slicer parts with a sanitizing solution after washing.

    Handwashing and Food Preparation

    • Correct handwashing procedures are crucial in preventing foodborne viruses and bacteria.
    • Cooking chili in a microwave should be reheated to the proper temperature to prevent time-temperature abuse.

    Plumbing and Food Safety

    • A vacuum breaker helps prevent backflow of contaminants into potable water.
    • Shell eggs for immediate service must reach an internal temperature of 145 F for 15 seconds.

    Food Storage Practices

    • Food handlers should cover long hair with a restraint for hygiene.
    • Areas where floors and walls meet should be coved to facilitate cleaning.

    Training and Management

    • Managers verify HACCP systems by monitoring critical limits and preventing time-temperature abuse.
    • Staff must be trained to store food correctly to avoid time-temperature abuse and cross-contamination.

    Safe Food Handling Temperature

    • Food must be cooked to minimum internal temperatures for safety (e.g., baked fish at 145 F).

    Post-Cooking Procedures

    • After microwaving food, allow it to stand covered for 2 minutes to achieve an even temperature.

    Additional Safety Practices

    • Important food handling practice includes cooking food to minimum internal temperatures to prevent illness.
