From food borne illness each year! Why Safety First? Over 5,000 deaths 76 million illnesses 325,000 hospitalizations From food borne illness each year!
Safe Working Conditions Personal Protective Clothing Aprons Gloves Shoes Personal injuries Slips and falls Cuts Burns and scalds Back injuries and strains Kitchen equipment Cleaning Maintenance
Fire Safety Equipment Procedures Fire extinguishers Hood and sprinkler systems Procedures Be familiar with your workplace/ school fire emergency procedures. What is ours? Stay calm Call fire department Clear the building
First Aid Burns Choking Wounds Heimlich maneuver CPR Remove the heat source Cool with cold water for at least 5 minutes. Never apply anything but Aloe Vera. Bandage Choking Heimlich maneuver CPR Wounds Minor wounds Wear gloves Clean cut Cover with gauze Apply with direct pressure to stop bleeding. Serious wounds Control bleeding by applying pressure with gauze/clean cloth. Cover Wash your hands.
Types of Wounds Abrasion – scrape/ scratch Laceration – cut that can be deep such as a knife cut. Avulsion – part of the skin is partially/completely torn off. Puncture wound – skin is pierced with a sharp object
Sources of Food Contamination Biological Foodborne illness Bacteria – Salmonella, E-coli FATTOM Viruses – Hep A Need a host Parasite Fungi Molds Yeast Chemical Detergents Degreasers Cleaners Pesticide Physical Pests – keep your work stations clean to manage pests Hair Nails
Food Borne Illness: Disease carried or transmitted to people by food Food Based Hazards Contaminated ingredients Biological Chemical Physical People Based Hazards Food handling Time & Temp abuse Cross contamination Poor hygiene Improper cleaning & Sanitizing
Potentially Hazardous Foods PHF: Support rapid growth of microorganisms Every 20 minutes bacteria double Foods have naturally occurring bacteria living on them that are there to break down the food. There are a list of characteristics of PHF’s that you can remember by the acronym FAT TOM
FAT TOM F: Food A: Acidity T: Temperature T: Time O: Oxygen Animal origin foods that are raw or heat treated Plant origin foods that are heat treated A: Acidity 4.6-7.5 ideal for bacteria growth High acidity neutralizes the bacteria Acid will eat the protein T: Temperature 40˚F or colder 140˚F or hotter T: Time Food can be in the danger zone for a maximum of 4 hours before becoming hazardous O: Oxygen Allows bacteria to grow Wrap food products tightly to eliminate exposure to oxygen M: Moisture Bacteria need moisture to grow
When is the food cooked safe? Danger Zone When is the food cooked safe? Poultry and Stuffing: 165º F Pork: 145º F Beef, Lamb and Seafood: 145º F Rare Beef: 135º F Hamburger (ground beef): 155º F Definition: The temperatures at which bacteria multiply rapidly. 140˚F Danger Zone 40˚F
Chapter 2 The Safe Foodhandler
OBJECTIVES Demonstrate appropriate personal hygiene for the workplace. (Lab) Illustrate proper personal health practices to avoid the spread of foodborne illness. (Lab) Explain the purpose of the HACCP system. Outline the processes of monitoring, corrective action, record keeping, and verification.
Personal Hygiene Clothes Hair Handwashing Six steps are Wet hands and forearms with hot water Apply enough soap to get a good lather Rub hands and arms for 15 seconds. Rinse off with hot water Dry with a paper towel Turn water off using the towel
HACCP – Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point HACCP was developed to monitor the flow of food. The flow of food is the path food takes from the time it is received until it is served.
HAACP Processes Monitoring Corrective Action Record Keeping Foodservice workers are responsible for monitoring the food safety systems. Things to watch for would be temperature and cross-contamination. Corrective Action When a problem is discovered, fix it. Examples are…. Record Keeping Flow charts Manuals Descriptions Food temp guides Verification Write everything down. Show standard operation procedures.
Flow of Food Safely receiving Safely storing Watch for foods that Dry Have been thawed and refrozen Insects Damaged food or containers Repacked or mishandled Incorrect temperatures Safely storing Dry 6 in. off the floor and away from wall Refrigerator 6 in. off the floor, away from wall, and at least 41°F. Frozen 6 in. off the floor, away from wall, and at least 0°F.
Refrigerator Storage
Cross Contamination Definition: The transferring of bacteria from person or object to another. Lather Up Always wash hands, cutting boards, dishes, and utensils with hot, soapy water after they come in contact with raw meat, poultry, and seafood. Safely Separate Separate raw meat, poultry, and seafood from other foods in your grocery shopping cart and in your refrigerator. Seal It To prevent juices from raw meat, poultry, or seafood from dripping onto other foods in the refrigerator, place these raw foods in sealed containers or plastic bags. Marinating Mandate Sauce that is used to marinate raw meat, poultry, or seafood should not be used on cooked foods, unless it is boiled before applying. Take Two If possible, use one cutting board for fresh produce and use a separate one for raw meat, poultry, and seafood. Clean Your Plate Never place cooked food back on the same plate or cutting board that previously held raw food. http://www.foodsafety.gov/~fsg/f00separ.html
Storage by Food Type Seafood Fresh meat/poultry Eggs Dairy Products 41°F or lower Approved vendor Must tag if live Fresh meat/poultry Temp - 41°F Color – red to pink Odor – no offensive odor Texture – no slim Packaging – clean and unbroken Eggs Purchased from approved plants Dairy Products Refrigerated/ frozen Foods Dry/ Canned Foods Fresh Produce
Preparation and Cooking Guidelines Holding Keep covered Hot foods – 135°F or above, cold foods – 41°F or below Stir regularly Never mix old with new. Discard after 4 hours. Serving Never touch food with hands. Hold dishes from the bottom/handles Use utensils to serve food Cooling Cool to 70°F in 2 hours. Then cool to 41°F in 4 hours. If this is not done in the allotted time, then discard the food. Reheating Min. temp should hold at 165°F for 15 sec.
Dish Washing Use a Dish Cloth not a Sponge! Sponges contain approximately 7.2 Billion Germs! That is the equivalent to smearing an 8oz raw piece of chicken breast on your surface! We use dish towels because we wash them after every use.
Quiz: What is the correct way to disinfect a sponge? Wash it in the sink Throw it in the dishwasher Throw it in the microwave Let it dry out
The difference between Clean & Sanitize NO visible dirt or gunk -wash surface with soap & water. SANITIZE Removal of all harmful microorganisms -Use 180˚F water -Use sanitizer liquid (bleach, 409)
How to Wash Dishes SET up sinks and drying rack as seen below Sink 1 Sink 2 Hot Soapy H20 HOT H20! WASH RINSE DRY *Note: The hotter the water the faster the dishes will dry because hot water evaporates quicker
How to Wash Dishes Scrape Dishes to clear food Lightly rinse dishes and stack by category Wash dishes by category Rinse dishes Put in drying rack Dry dishes Put away dishes Let water go down & empty food particles from sink Clean sink and put washing & drying towels in washer
