What food causes illness?What food causes illness?• Any food can cause foodborne illness
– Even non-time/temperature control for safety foods
• Characteristics of a time/temperature control for safety (TCS) food:– Low acid
– Moist
– Contains protein
6
Keep time/temperature control for safety food out of the temperature danger zone!
Temperature danger zone• When food is in this
temperature range, harmful bacteria can grow, multiply, and possibly cause infection
• Bacteria can double in number in as little as 20 minutes
7
Cross contamination Cross contamination • Bacteria can be transferred from one food to
another if food is not properly stored
• Store raw food below cooked or ready-to-eat food
• Properly cover foods

Facility and Storage
Preventing cross contaminationControlling time and temperature
19
Temperature of storage Temperature of storage unitsunits
• Refrigeration– Must keep food at 41°F or colder– Air temperature should be 39°F or colder
• Freezer – Must keep food at 0°F or colder– Air temperature should be 0°F or colder– Keep floors dry and clean
• Dry storage– Best if temperature is between 50°F and 70°F– Humidity level should be between 50% and 60%
20
First In, First Out (FIFO)First In, First Out (FIFO)• FIFO ensures proper
rotation of foods in storage• When foods are received,
put the oldest in the front and the newest in the back
• Past-dated foods will lose their quality and sometimes become unsafe
• Inventory cycle
21
Storage layout and cleaning• Cleaning is the process of
removing food and other soils
• Maintaining an unobstructed 12-18 inch distance from walls to pallets
• Food products stored off floor by 6 inches or on pallets
• Pick up debris and sweep floors
– Broken pallets, plastic wrap, etc

before deliveries• Inspect food items to
minimize the risk for foodborne illness and liability– Insert a food
thermometer between 2 packaged products to check the temperature
– Check dates of perishable goods
– Mark with date arrival or use by date
• Inspecting deliveries for
– Tampering, discoloration, pinholes, leakage
– Unusual packages
– Contamination (rodent activity or insects)
– Proper temperatures (receiving log)
37
ReceivingReceiving• Unloading food items
– Frozen first, refrigerated second, and dry goods last
• Substandard food items (Rejection policy)– A record should be kept of
rejected food items
– Photos should be taken if necessary
38

Criteria for Accepting or Rejecting Criteria for Accepting or Rejecting a Food Deliverya Food Delivery
40
Shipping
41
Pre loading process• Check to make sure
truck is clean and remove any debris
• Turn on cooler at least 45 minutes
• Items to be loaded are sorted and staged
42
Loading • Wheels are chocked• Dry products first
followed by refrigerated and then frozen items
• Load to minimize damage and movement during transportation
43
Unloading• Travel time with/without
refrigeration (temperature)
• Multi-stop delivery process
• Kitchen staff available to receive product
• Unload with hand trucks
• Store all product in appropriate location to prevent cross contamination
44
Catering • Prepared food is handled to minimize contamination
during transportation– Vehicles shall be maintained in a clean, sanitary condition
• Temperature monitoring – Cold foods cold <41°F, Hot foods hot >135°F
• Food in transit must be protected from contamination and must meet the temperature requirements noted above
• Proper storage at location
45
Power OutagePower OutagePreventing cross contamination
Controlling time and temperature
46
RefrigeratorsRefrigerators• Note the time the outage
occurred• Food should be safe as long
as the power is out no more than about 4 to 6 hours.
• Leave the door closed – When open needed cold air
escapes, allowing the foods inside to reach unsafe temperatures
47
FreezersFreezers• Leave the freezer door closed• With the door closed, food in
most freezers will stay below 41°F for up to 3 days– Full freezer should keep food
safe about 2 days– Half-full freezer, about 1 day
• You can safely re-freeze thawed foods that still contain ice crystals and are 41°F or less
48
ThawingThawing• Freezing does not kill microorganisms, but it does slow
their growth
• During a power outage, frozen food can begin to thaw, resulting in the outer surface warming up and allowing harmful microorganisms to grow
• The time it takes for food to thaw depends on:– Amount of food in the freezer
– Kind of food
– Temperature of the food
– Size and insulation of freezer
49
When in doubt, throw it out!When in doubt, throw it out!• If it appears the power will be off for more
than 6 hours– Ice, dry ice, or frozen gel packs may be used to
keep TCS foods at 41°F or below
• Moving refrigerated food to a walk-in freezer or obtaining a refrigerated truck are other options to keep food safe
• Food should not be transferred to
private homes
50
Discarding itemsDiscarding items• Foods that can safely be stored above 41°F for a few
days include:– Whole non-cut fresh fruits and vegetables– Condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relishes,
barbecue sauce, soy sauce, olives– Jams and jellies– Bread, rolls, bagels, cakes (without cream or custard),
cookies and muffins– Most hard cheeses including parmesan, asiago and
pecorino
51
52
Power restoredPower restored• Identify and discard TCS foods that may have been
above above 41°F for 4 hours
• Check the internal food temperatures using a food thermometer and record the temperature.
• If practical, separate packages of food in refrigeration units and freezers to allow for faster recooling.
• The refreezing of food may affect the quality and should be used within a short period of time.
53
Food DefenseFood Defense
54
Food defense• Protect food from intentional contamination
– Disgruntled current or former employee – Members of terrorist or activist groups posing as: cleaning
crew, contractors, truck drivers. Visitors, utility representatives
• Primarily about limiting access to products• Understanding what might happen and monitoring
who has access to food• Identify your vulnerabilities and implement food
defense solutions
Exterior security measuresExterior security measures• Providing adequate lighting around the
outside of building • Accounting for all keys to establishment • Locked doors, gates, roof access, windows
– Emergency exits
• Loading dock access• Prevent environmental contamination and
infestation by insects or vermin
56
Interior security measuresInterior security measures• Accounting for all keys to
establishment
• Providing adequate lighting– Emergency lighting and alert
system
