Receiving & Shipping

  • Why:
    Potentially Hazardous Foods (PHFs) need to be delivered at the proper temperature so that bacteria can’t multiply. Damaged packaging may be a sign that food is contaminated. Labels will identify food sources and ingredients. Food stored properly will prevent cross- contamination, and keep bacteria from multiplying.

    Check that:
     The receiving area is clean.
     The delivery vehicle is clean & there are no chemicals transported with the food.
     Frozen foods are frozen solid, and do not show evidence of thawing and refreezing.
    (Common signs of thawing and refreezing are large ice crystals on the surface, and frozen juices or liquids in the package.)
     Take temperature of PHF with clean calibrated thermometer. Cold foods must be less than 4°C. Hot deliveries need to be greater than 60°C.
     Food doesn’t show signs of spoilage.
     Product packaging is not damaged exposing food to contamination.
     Cans do not bulge, leak, or have creased seams.
     There are no insects, insect eggs, dirt, rodent droppings, or other contaminants.
     All products are properly labeled with the name and address of the manufacturer, and
    the ingredient statement.
     Food is stored properly as soon as possible. Protect Ready-to-Eat foods from raw
    foods. Store raw foods under Ready-to-Eat foods, and separate from raw foods.
     All products are within their “use-by” date

Cold Storage

  • Why:

    For all foods
     Make sure indicating thermometers are correctly placed and working
    properly in cold holding units.
     Check PRODUCT with calibrated clean and sanitized thermometer at
    determined frequency.
     Keep the cold holding unit at 4°C or colder.
     Place prepared food into the cold holding unit as soon as possible.
     Do not mix old food with fresh batches of food.
     Do not overload the cold holding unit.
     Separate raw from RTE, and raw from raw (example: beef over chicken)

PREPARATION

  • HOW TO CALIBRATE THERMOMETERS
    Thermometers should be calibrated whenever they are dropped, before first use, and when going from one temperature extreme to another.
    Temperature is a critical measurement for ensuring the safety and quality of many food products. Whether monitoring temperatures thermometer calibration is essential. The validation, verification reassessment section of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point system specifies that instruments used for monitoring critical control points must be calibrated.
    Sanitize thermometers before using and in between uses. To clean and sanitize the thermometer, wash it in hot, soapy water, rinse, and wipe down with an alcohol pad or use a sanitizing solution appropriate for food contact surfaces.

  • Evidence of Calibration

  • Logs for Calibration of Thermometers

  • Color Coded Cutting Boards

  • Multiple Cutting boards to prevent cross contamination<br>

COOKING

  • Why:
    Harmful bacteria and parasites can cause illness if foods are not cooked to proper temperatures for a specified time.

     Use a clean and calibrated thermometer to check the final cooking temperature.
     Specify each food/equipment/temperature
    Complete the table for the foods and equipment used:

    Poultry - stuffed meat, seafood, or poultry - stuffing containing meat, seafood or poultry - traditional, wild game meat - casseroles containing PHF
    74°C. 15 seconds

    Pork, - game meat – meat – ground or restructured meat or seafood – injected meat
    70°C. 15 seconds

    Other PHF requiring cooking
    63°C. 15 seconds

    Rare roast beef and rare beef steak
    55°C. 15 seconds










  • Temperature Probes used

  • Logs for Cooking maintained

HOLDING

  • Why:
    Bacteria can multiply in food if it is held at temperatures between 4°C and 60°C

     Keep food above 60°C, or below 4C, check with calibrated clean and sanitized thermometer at determined frequency.
     Protect food from contamination.
     Prepare and cook only as much food as needed.
     Do not mix old food with fresh batches of food.
     Follow manufacturer’s directions for hot holding equipment operation.
     Do not overload holding equipment – follow manufacturer’s directions.

  • Temperature Probes used

  • Logs for Cooking maintained

COOLING

  • Why:
    Cooling food too slowly can allow bacteria to grow or toxins to be produced, causing foodborne illness. It takes longer to cool large batches of food.

  • Temperature Probes used

  • Logs for Cooking maintained

RE-HEATING

  • Why:
    Bacteria can survive and multiply in foods during reheating, unless the temperature reaches 74°C quickly. Reheat to kill bacteria that could have multiplied when it was held or cooled.

    Foods for hot holding that have been previously cooked & cooled:
     Reheat rapidly to 74°C within 2 hours without interruption.
     Use a calibrated thermometer to make sure that 74°C is reached in the center
    of the food each time food is reheated.
     Do not reheat more than one time.
     If using a microwave, stir, rotate, & allow it to sit for 2 minutes.
     Commercially prepared, hermetically sealed foods for hot holding reheat to
    60°C.

Warewashing

  • Type

Sanitation

  • Why:

     After each use.
     Every 4 hours if used to prepare Potentially Hazardous Foods (PHF) on a
    continuous basis.
     Clean and sanitize utensils and equipment between preparing raw and
    Ready-to-Eat foods.
