General info about viruses

Location: -carried by human beings and animals -must have a LIVING host -dont grow in food at all -can be transferred and remain infectious through food Sources: -food, water, or any contaminated surface -typically occur fecal-to-oral routes Transfer: -viruses can be transferred from person to person, person to food, people to food contact surfaces People: -carry viruses in feces -can transfer them to their hands after using restroom

Equipment that hold and dispenses TCS food:

MUST be cleaned and sanitized every day unless otherwise indicated by the manufacturer

gloves

NEVER be used in place of handwashing should be used when handling RTE foods (mostly)

Handwashing

NEVER wash hands in sinks designated for food prep or dishwashing or sinks used for discarding waste water

What mark do you look for when purchasing equipment?

NFS

What not to do with gloves

Never blow into gloves Never roll gloves on Never wash and reuse them

Leading causes of foodborne illnesses

Nontyphoidal Salmonella, Toxoplasma, Listeria, and norovirus caused the most deaths. Nontyphoidal Salmonella, norovirus, Campylobacter, and Toxoplasma caused the most hospitalizations. Norovirus caused the most illnesses. Although norovirus usually causes a mild illness, norovirus is a leading cause of foodborne deaths because it affects so many people.

Thawing ROP fish

ROP: reduced oxygen packaging Frozen fish received in ROP packaging that must remain frozen until use, then remove fish from packaging before thawing in a fridge or after thawing under running water

Reconditioning

Restoring food to safe conditions Ex: Reheat food back up to temp

Backflow

Reverse flow of contaminates through cross-connection into drinkable water supply

145 for FOUR MINUTES

Roasts of pork, beef, veal, and lamb

The benefits of self-inspections:

Safer food Improved food quality Cleaner environment for staff and customers Higher inspection scores

Flooring must be:

Smooth Durable Nonabsorbent Easy to clean Wear-resistant Slip-resistant

Physical contaminants

Sources: common objects that get into food like hair, fingernails, dirt, etc. and naturally occurring objects such as bones or pits symptoms: -bleeding and pain -mild to fatal injuries prevention: -inspect food received -take steps to prevent such as hairnets -purchase from approved, reputable suppliers

Reject these

to create a master cleaning schedule, identify:

What should be cleaned Who should clean it When it should be cleaned How it should be cleaned

Final step to recovering from foodborne illness outbreak

Work with the regulatory authority to resolve issues. Clean and sanitize all areas of the operation. Throw out all suspect food. Investigate to find the cause of the outbreak. Review food handling procedures

A foodbourne illness is

a disease transmitted to people through food

Active Managerial Control

actively control all risk factors for foodborne illness

Remove garbage from prep areas as quickly as possible

be careful not to contaminate food and food-contact surfaces

Viruses CANNOT

be destroyed by normal cooking temperatures

Cook-chill equipment

an intergrated piece of equipment that can cook, cool, and reheat food

Temperature

bacteria grow between 41-135 F --> 70-125 F very rapid growth This is the "danger zone" bacteria growth is limited when held above or below

Time

bacteria need time to grow, and the more time bacteria spend in the temp danger zone, more opportunity they have to grow to unsafe levels

When to wash hands

before: -preparing food -working with clean equipment and utensils -putting on single-use gloves after: -using restroom -taking out garbage -changing tasks -etc (gross stuff)

characteristics: -spoil food quickly -may produce a smell or taste of alcohol -may look pink or white discoloration or slime, may bubble -grow well in acidic food with little moisture -MUST THROW AWAY IF IT HAS YEAST

Mold

characteristics: -spoil food and sometimes cause illness -may produce toxins -grow well in almost any condition -are only slowed not destroyed by cooler or freezer temps Prevention: throw out all moldy food unless the mold is a natural part of food

holding food- time

check temps at least every 4 hours

General guidelines

checking temperature of meat, poultry, and fish checking temps of ROP (reduced oxygen packaging) food checking temps of other packaged food look at documentation quality

Hepatitis A (infection of liver)

common foods: -ready to eat foods -shellfish from contaminated water Most common symptoms: -fever -general weakness -Nausea -abdominal pain -jaundice (appears later) Important prevention measure: -good personal hygiene -exclude food handlers who have been diagnosed with it out or people who have had jaundice for seven days or less -avoid bare-hand contact with RTE food -purchase shellfish from approved, reputable suppliers

Norovirus

common foods: -ready to eat foods -shellfish from contaminated water Most common symptoms: -vomiting -diarrhea -nausea -abdominal cramps Prevention measures: -good hygiene -exclude food handlers who are vomiting/have diarrhea -avoid bare-hand contact with RTE food -purchase shellfish from approved, reputable suppliers -wash hands

Five factors influencing sanitizer effectiveness

concentration temperature contact time water hardness and pH

generally only unopened, prepackaged food in good condition can be re-served:

condiment packets wrapped crackers or breadsticks

Poor personal hygiene can cause a foodborne illness when food handlers:

contaminate ?

To prevent foodborne illness from bacteria:

control time and temperature so we cannot give them room to grow

Parcooking

cooking food more than halfway, but not all the way

Tumble chillers

cool prepackaged food inside a drum that rotates in chilled water

holding food- sneeze guards/food covers

cover food and install sneeze guard

To prepare for a foodborne illness outbreak:

create a foodborne illness incident report form and train staff on how to use it

Dealing with wounds

depends on where wound is located: 1. hand/wrist: cover with impermeable cover and then a single use cover 2. arm: cover wounds with impermeable cover such as a bandage 3. other areas: cover wounds with a dry, tight-fitting bandage

4 categories of cleaners

detergents, degreasers, delimers, and abrasive cleaners

to prepare for crisis

develop an emergency contact list and post by phone develop a crisis-communication plan Appoint a spokesperson Assemble a crisis kit

Rely on your PCO to:

develop an integrated approach to pest management stay current on new equipment and products provide prompt service to address problems as they occur keep records

Consumer advisory

disclose any raw or undercooked TCS items on the menu

Present food honestly

do not use food additives, colored overwraps, lights to misrepresent the appearance of food food must be presented as described (if it says it has tuna, must have tuna) food not presented honestly must be thrown out

Variance

document issued by your regulatory authority that allows a regulatory requirement to be waived or changed

Equipment accessibility

equipment is placed so staff can easily clean the facility and all equipment

water hardness and pH

find out your operation's water hardness and pH from your municipality work with your supplier to identify the correct amount of sanitizer to use for your water

Principle 2: determine CCPs

find points in the process where hazards can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to safe levels control measure: action or activity that can be used to prevent a food safety hazard or reduce it to safe levels

temperature

follow manufacturers recommendations for the correct temperature

NEVER re-serve

food returned by a guest uncovered condiments or combine leftover condiments uneaten bread plate garnishes

frozen foods must be received

frozen solid, no freezer burn

135 degree min internal temp

fruit, vegetables, grains, and legumes that will be hot-held for service

When responding to a crisis

gather the crisis management team Implement plan work w the media communicate directly with key audiences fix problem and communicate what has been done

cross-contamination

happens when pathogens are transferred from one surface or food to another

Pathogen

harmful microorganisms that make people sick by eating or producing toxins

Allergy symptoms

hives, nausea, anaphylaxis, vomiting, itchy throat

holding food- temp and thermometer

hold TCS foods at the correct temp and use a thermometer to check temp

Handwashing stations must have

hot and cold running water, soap, a way to dry hands, garbage container, signage

Onset times

how quickly foodborne illness symptoms appear in a person

corrective action for washing hands

if food handlers have touched food or food-contact surfaces w unclean hands: -throw out food -clean equipment -retrain If using hand antiseptics: -must comply w the CFR and FDA standards -should be used only after handwashing -never be used in place of handwashing -should be allowed to dry before touching food or equipment

FDA

inspects all food EXCEPT meat, poultry, and eggs

contamination

layout minimizes the risk of cross-contamination equipment is placed to prevent splashing or spillage

Containers

lids are sealed intended for food wrap/cover all food

characteristics of parasites

location: -require a host to live and reproduce Source: -seafood, wild game, food processed with contaminated water, such as produce Prevention: -purchase food from approved, reputable suppliers -cook food to required minimum internal temps -fish that will be served raw or under cooked must be frozen correctly by manufacturer

costs of foodborne illness

loss of customers and sales loss of reputation negative media exposure lowered staff morale lawsuits and legal fees staff missing work increased insurance premiums staff retraining

a good personal hygiene program

managers must focus on: 1. creating personal hygiene policies 2. training food handlers on hygiene policies and retraining them regularly 3. Modeling correct behavior at all times 4. Supervising food safety practices 5. Revising hygiene policies when laws or science change

FDA advises against serving ________ on childrens menu is they are raw/uncooked

meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs

TCS foods

milk, eggs, red meat, poultry, scaly fish, shellfish, baked potatoes, cooked grains, all soy products, raw sprouts, melons, leafy greens, sliced tomatoes, garlic and oil mix

Big eight food allergens

milk, soy, eggs, wheat, fish, crustacean, peanuts, tree nuts

Workflow

minimizes the time food spends in the temp danger zone minimizes the number of times food is handled

Moisture

more moist=more bacteria like it very dry=little chance

Acidity

pH of 7.5 to 4.6 is ideal Examples of ideal pH: -bread -raw chicken -cantaloupe -milk -cooked corn

Poor cleaning and sanitizing

pathogens can be spread if equipment has not been properly cleaned and sanitized

Concentration

sanitizers should be mixed with water to the correct concentration check concentration with a test kit change the solution when it is dirty or the conc. is too low

foundation of a food safety management system

personal hygiene program food safety training program supplier selection and specification program quality control and assurance program, cleaning and sanitiation program, standard operating procedures, facility design and equipment maintenance program, pest control program

Cross-connection

physical link between safe water and dirty water from drains, sewers, and other wastewater sources

toxin

poison

examples of imminent health hazards

power outages, fire, flood, water interruption, sewage backup

need 50 foot candles (540 lux)

prep areas

Date marking

ready to eat TCS food must be marked if held for longer than 24 hours ready to eat TCS food can be stored for only seven days if it is held at 41 degrees f (count begins on the day that the food was prepared or opened

Sanitizing is

reducing pathogens/bacteria to safe levels or eliminating them

Coving

required for resilient or hard-surface flooring materials

Symptoms of biological toxins

seems like an allergic reaction, reddening of face, sweating, burning/tingling sensation in mouth

Chemical contaminants

sources: -cleaners, sanitizers, polishes, machine lubricants, pesticides -deodorant, first-aid products, and health and beauty products -certain types of kitchenware and equipment, like items made from pewter, zinc, some types of painted pottery Symptoms: -very depending on chemical consumed -most illnesses occur within minutes -Vomiting and diarrhea are typical

cleaners must be

stable, noncorrosive, and safe to use

supplies storage

store all items 6 inches off the floor, single use stuff can be left in box

Storing chemicals

store in original containers keep it separate from food, equipment, utensils, linens always store chemicals BELOW food, equipment, utensils, linens

Key drop deliveries

supplier given after-hours access to the operation to make deliveries

Create a crisis management team

team size depends on size of operation consider including outside authorities such as regulatory authorities

high-temp dishwashing machines

temp of final sanitizing rinse must be at least 180F but not over 195

Construction plans require approval by

the local regulatory authority

contact time

the sanitizer must make contact with the item for a specific time

How does food become contaminated?

three types of contaminants: 1. Biological 2. Chemical 3. Physical

Vending machines

to keep it safe: -check shelf life daily -keep TCS food at correct temperature -dispense TCS food in its original container -wash and wrap fresh fruit with edible peels before putting it in the machine

Delimers

use don mineral deposits and other dirt that other cleaners cant remove Use on: steam tables, dishwashers

self-service areas

use sneeze guards use labels to identify food items keep raw meat, fish, and poultry separate from RTE foods

Grading stamps are

voluntary and paid for by processors and packers

time-temperature abuse

when food has stayed too long at temperatures that are good for the growth of pathogens

Degreasers

work well with burned on grease Use on: backsplashes, oven doors, and range hoods

A well-designed kitchen will address:

workflow, contamination, equipment accessibility

An illness is considered an outbreak when:

• at least 2 people have the same symptoms after eating the same food • an investigation is conducted by state and local regulatory authorities • outbreak is confirmed by a laboratory analysis
