Study Notes
Hazard Analysis
- Conducting a hazard analysis involves determining where hazards can occur during the flow of food and identifying potential hazards.
- Group food by how it is processed in an operation.
Food Safety Practices
- 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
- Raw ground pork should be placed above poultry when stored with other raw foods.
Serving Safe Foods
- Food managers should serve pasteurized apple cider to elderly residents for safety.
- Norovirus is frequently linked to ready-to-eat foods.
Illness Reporting
- Regulatory authority should be notified when a food handler is diagnosed with hepatitis C.
Safe Practices for High-Risk Populations
- Burgers fully cooked in a microwave are safe for high-risk populations.
- 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.
- Physical contaminants associated with salmon include fish bones.
HACCP and Food Storage
- A HACCP plan for sous vide soup must include materials, ingredients, and equipment used.
- Sliced roast beef can remain refrigerated at 41 F or below for a maximum of 7 days.
Chemical Safety
- Chemicals should only be used when the operation is closed to prevent contamination.
- Symptoms of food allergies include hives, nausea, and swelling.
Thawing and Cooking Guidelines
- Thawing meat must be done cold to minimize bacterial growth.
- 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
- Open bagged dry food must be stored in labeled containers with tight-fitting lids.
- Food handlers must be aware of ingredients to address potential food allergies.
Personal Hygiene
- 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.
