FOOD SAFETY
It'S essential to keep the food you serve safe. Even one customer's experience with bad food
can have a negative impact on your operation. So here's a list of facts and guidelines you
can share with your associates.
How to avoid food-borne illnesses:
Heat and cook all food thoroughly.
Cool food properly after cooking.
Enforce proper hygiene in your associates.
Avoid preparing food too far in advance and always store it properly.
Don't leave food at temperatures between 40║ and 140║F (or 4║-60║C) for
prolonged periods.
Heat all leftover food rapidly to 165║F or (73.9║C).
Avoid cross-contamination from raw protein food.
WASH YOUR HANDS...
before beginning and ending a work shift
before and after contact with customers
before putting on gloves and after removing them
after using the restroom
after handling raw food
after using a tissue
after working with dirty equipment, work surfaces, clothes or washcloths
after clearing away/scraping soiled dishes and utensils
after smoking or chewing tobacco
after eating or drinking
after hands become soiled
HACCP Food safety guidelines:
The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system is sanctioned by the Educational
Foundation of the National Restaurant Association and provides a widely held standard for food
safety:
1. Assess food safety hazards and their risks. A risk is the chance of certain conditions
leading to a hazard.
2. Identify critical control points (CCPs). A CCP is any procedure which may prevent,
eliminate, or reduce the risk of a hazard.
3. Formulate procedures and critical limits for CCPs, including times, temperatures, acidity
levels, etc., that must be met to ensure food safety.
4. Monitor CCPs closely.
5. Take corrective action if critical limits for CCPs are not being met.
6. Keep accurate records which reflect daily operations and long-term trends.
7. Verify the effectiveness of the system to ensure accurate monitoring and prevention.
