Food Safety Flashcards
Vulnerable Populations
- Infants under 5 yrs
- Pregnant women
- Older adults
- Immunocompromised indviduals
Bac/toxins concern for preg women?
Listeriosis and Toxoplasmosis
?: alert customers to raw/undercooked TCS items and increased risk of foodborne illness
Consumer Advisory
Big 8 Food Allergens
Milk, soy, peanuts, tree-nuts, eggs, fish, wheat, shellfish
Ways to prevent cross contact:
1) Purchasing
2) Receiving
3) Wash/sanitize
4) Storage
5) Food prep
6) Customer areas
7) Wait service
HACCP
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point: management system addressing food safety by analyzing, controlling hazards from raw material production, procurement/handling/manufact/distribution/consumption
HACCP 7 Principles:
1) Conduct Hazard Analysis
2) Determine Critical Control Points
3) Establish critical limits
4) Establish monitoring procedures
5) Establish corrective actions
6) Establish verification procedures
7) Establish record keeping/documentation procesures
Tasks to develop HACCP plan
1) Assembly HACCP team
2) Describe food and distribution
3) Describe intended use/customer
4) Develop flow diagram to describe process
5) Verify flow diagram
Principle 1 in HACCP
- Conduct Hazard analysis: by way of hazard identification and evaluation
Principle 2 in HACCP
Determine Critical Control Points. CCP a step at which we can implement a control measure to eliminate/reduce hazard
Principle 3 in HACCP
Establish Critical Limits: max/min value to which a parameter must be controlled at CCP to prevent/reduce food safety hazard
Principle 4 in HACCP
Establish Monitoring procedures: temp/pH monitored with correct equipment
Principle 5 in HACCP
Establish corrective actions: correct deviations by controlling and identifying. if food at wrong temp, bring to correct measure and document
Principle 6 in HACCP
Establish verification procedure: weekly review records and action reports. Verify that plan works
Principle 7 in HACCP
Establish record-keeping and documentation procedures: Logs
TCS
Time/temp control for safety foods require time/temp control to limit pathogen growth or toxin formation
Temperature Danger Zone
41F- 135F
Thawing:
Above 41F for less than 4 hrs
Cooling:
cool to 70F in 2 hrs, then 41F in 4 hours….total of 6 hrs
Reheating
- Hot TCS foods with initial temp >135F use/discard within 4hrs
- Cold TCS with initial temp <41F use/discard within 6 hrs if kept under 70, otherwise use/discard 4 hrs
4 ways the thaw:
1) refrigerate and under 41F
2) submerges in running potable water at least 70 or below (cant be above 41 for more than 4 hours)
3) In microwave used within 24h
4) As part of cooking process
Reheated:
165F and cant fall in temp danger zone for more than 2 hours.
Hot held items should be kept above ____F, and must be checked at least every ____hrs
135F, 4hrs
Plant foods for hot held service should have as minimal internal temp after cooking:
135F for 15 seconds
