food service materials and equipment requirements Flashcards
multiuse characteristics
- not allow migration of deleterious substances or impart colors, odors, tastes to food and under normal use conditions.
- safe
- durable, corrosion-resistant, nonabsorbent
- sufficient in weight and thickness to withstand repeated warewashing
- finished to have smooth, easily cleanable surface
- resistant to pitting, chipping, crazing, scratching, scoring, distortion, decomposition
cast iron, use limitation
- used as a surface for cooking
- used in utensils for serving food if are used only as part of uninterrupted process from cooking through service
lead, use limitation
- ceramic, china, crystal utensils, decorative utensils that are used in contact w/t food shall be lead-free; solder lead must be less than 0.2
copper, use limitation
- copper, copper alloys such as brass may not be used in contact w/t a food that has PH below 6 such as vinegar, fruit juice (causing corrosion)
galvanized metal, use limitation
- not be used for utensils or food-contact surfaces of equipment that are used in contact with acidic food
stainless steel
- approved as food contact surfaces
sponges, use limitation
- not be used in contact with cleaned and sanitized or in-use food-contact surfaces
wood, use limitation
(wood and wood wicker not be used as food-contact surface except)
- hard maple/equivalently hard, close-grained wood used for
cutting boards
cutting blocks
bakers’ tables
wooden paddles (used in confectionery operations)
utensils (rolling pins, doughnut dowels, salad bowls, sushi bamboo rolls, chopstick
nonfood-contact surfaces
- equipment that are exposed to splash, spillage, other food soiling/require frequent cleaning, constructed of corrosion-resistant, nonabsorbent, smooth material
paint or other coating, application
- not approved for application on food-contact surf,
- not applied to a food-contact surf. or splash zone
plastic, use prohibition
- soft plastic containers not intended as multiuse equipment
- single-use deli packages
- pails
- milk jugs
not be reused for food storage
pallet use
- package food stored on NSF international listed plastic pallets or wood pallets
- wood pallets, not used in food preparation areas/anywhere unpackaged food is processed, prepared, handled
- w/p, used for storage of bulk produce in retail stores where limited processing occurs (shipboard bulk storerooms)
single-service and single-use characteristics
(materials that are used to make single-service and single-use articles)
may not
- allow migration of deleterious substances
- impart colors, odors, or tastes to food
shall be
- safe and clean
single-service and single-use design and construction
durability and strength
- equip and utensils - designed & constructed, durable and retain characteristic qualities under norm use conditions
- food temp measuring devices- not have sensors/stems constructed of glass (except if encased shatterproof coating)
single-service and single-use sealing compounds
- capable of withstanding full range operating temp (hot/cold) without cracking/unsealing
- materials /equipment requiring use sealing compounds shall be physically secured before compounds are applied
cleanability food-contact surfaces
- smooth
- free of breaks, open seams, cracks, chips, inclusions, pits, similar imperfections
- free of sharp internal angles, corners, crevices
- finished to have smooth welds and joints
- accessible for cleaning and inspection
- ) without being disassembled
- ) by disassembling without the use of tools
- ) by easy disassembling w/t use of handheld tools commonly available to maintenance & cleaning personnel
cleanability, clean-in-place equipment
- cleaning, sanitizing solutions circulate throughout a fixed system, contact all interior food-contact surfaces
- system self-draining/capable of being completely drained
- any CIP equip. that is not designed to be disassembled for cleaning shall be designed w/t inspection access points
cleanability, fixed equipment
- intended to be cleaned and sanitized using pressure spray methods
cleanability, can openers
- cutting/piercing parts of can openers shall be readily removable for cleaning and for replacement
cleanability, nonfood-contact surfaces
- shall be free of unnecessary ledges, projections, crevices, designed, constructed to allow easy cleaning
accuracy, temp measuring devices, food
- scaled only in Celsius/dually scaled in C/F shall be accurate to =1*C intended range of use
- scaled only in Fahrenheit shall be accurate to =2*F intended range use
accuracy, temp measuring devices, ambient air and water
- scaled in Celsius/dually scaled in C/F shall be designed to be easily readable and accurate to =1.5*C intended range of use.
- scaled only in Fahrenheit shall be accurate to =3*F intended range of use.
accuracy, pressure measuring devices, mechanical warewashing equip.
- display pressure in water supply line for fresh hot water sanitizing rinse shall have increments of 7 kilopascals (1 pound per square inch) / smaller, shall be accurate to =14 kilopascals (=2 pound per square inch) (PSI)
functionality, ventilation hood systems, drip prevention
- exhaust ventilation hood systems in food prep and warewashing, designed to prevent grease/condensation from draining/dripping onto food, equipment
- ventilation is used to remove dust, grease, humidity, heat, smoke, odor
