Food Safety
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year: • roughly 1 in 6 Americans, or 48 million people,
get sick • 128,000 are hospitalized • and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases
CDC Findings 2011 Estimates of Foodborne Illness
Outbreaks
• Chipotle – 2015 – E. coli – 45 confirmed illnesses, 16 hospitalizations – Stocks down over 20%
• Blimpie – 2005 – Norovirus – 3 clusters – At least 100 ill

Outbreaks
• ConAgra – 2006 – Salmonella – 628 persons infected from 47 different states – 9 deaths – Company president sentenced to 28 years in
prison

Course Objectives
• Show how basic food safety practices can help prevent the threat of foodborne illness by focusing on the five major risk factors.
The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Foodborne Illness Risk Factors
1. Unsafe Sources 2. Poor Personal Hygiene 3. Inadequate Cooking 4. Improper Holding Temperatures 5. Contaminated Equipment
Risk Factor # 1 Unsafe Sources
Source
• Purchase only from approved, licensed sources
• NO home prepared foods • Keep documentation from suppliers
Receiving
• Check that cold foods are cold • Check that hot foods are hot • Check expiration dates • Check for evidence of pests or damage
Risk Factor #2 Poor Personal Hygiene
The “Big Five” Illnesses
– Salmonella typhi (Typhoid Fever) – Shigella species – Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) – Hepatitis A – Norovirus
Inform your manager if you are diagnosed with any of the above illnesses.
Symptoms
• Vomiting • Diarrhea • Yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice) • Sore throat with fever • Infected cut/wound/burn
Inform your manager if you are experiencing any of the above noted symptoms.
Restriction vs. Exclusion
Restriction • Can work in the facility but not with food,
clean equipment, utensils, linens, or unwrapped single-service or single-use articles.
Exclusion • Cannot work in the facility at all.
Returning to Work
• Diagnosed with one of the Big 5 illnesses – Seek approval from the health department
Information from MDARD’s Food Employee Foodborne Illness Guidelines Poster
Returning to work
• Diarrhea and/or vomiting – 24 hours symptom free – Or medical documentation that states the
symptom is from a noninfectious condition
Information from MDARD’s Food Employee Foodborne Illness Guidelines Poster
Returning to work
• Yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice) – Medical documentation that the employee is free
of hepatitis A virus or other fecal-orally transmitted infection
– Seek approval from the health department
Information from MDARD’s Food Employee Foodborne Illness Guidelines Poster
Returning to work
• Sore throat with fever – Medical documentation stating received antibiotic
therapy for >24 hours – One negative throat culture – Or free from Streptococcus pyogenes (Strep
Throat)
Information from MDARD’s Food Employee Foodborne Illness Guidelines Poster
Returning to work
• Infected cut or wound – Once properly covered with bandage – Use a bandage and glove if cut is on the hand or
wrist
Information from MDARD’s Food Employee Foodborne Illness Guidelines Poster
Hygiene
• Proper hair restraint – Hairnet, hat or visor with hairnet
• Designated areas for eating, drinking and smoking
• Clean uniform • Limited jewelry
Handwashing
• Use soap and running water • Rub your hands vigorously for 20 seconds • Wash all surfaces, including:
– Backs of hands – Wrists – Between fingers – Under fingernails
• Rinse well • Dry hands with a paper towel • Turn off the water using a paper towel instead of bare
hands
When to Wash
• Before handling food or clean equipment • After touching any source of potential
contamination – Hair/Skin – Soiled dishes – Money – Raw meat – Any unclean surface or item
Fact
• Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacterium found on the skin and in the noses of up to 25% of healthy people and animals.
• Staphylococcus aureus has the ability to make several different toxins responsible for food poisoning.

Glove Use
• Wash hands before putting on • Designed for single use • Replace when torn or contaminated • Not a replacement for handwashing
Ready-to-Eat
• Ready-to-eat: food that will not undergo any further preparation, washing or cooking
• Only handle with gloves or other suitable
utensils (tongs, deli tissue)
Risk Factor #3 Inadequate Cooking
Minimum Cooking Temperatures
• 165°F – Poultry – Stuffed meats – Any meat or eggs cooked in a microwave
Minimum Cooking Temperatures
• 155°F – Ground meat – Minced fish – Mechanically tenderized or injected meat – Pooled shell eggs – Eggs for hot holding
Minimum Cooking Temperatures
• 145°F – Whole beef/pork – Fish/Shellfish – Raw shell eggs (cooked to order)
Minimum Cooking Temperatures
• 135°F – Cooked fruits – Cooked vegetables – Legumes or grains for hot holding
Thermometers
• Use the appropriate sized thermometer for the job
• Take reading in the thickest part of the food • Wait for temperature to steady before reading • Place unit thermometers in cold and hot
holding equipment
Calibration
• Step 1: Pack cup with ice. Add just enough water to cover the ice.
Calibration
• Step 2: Place thermometer stem at least 3 inches in the ice water. Wait 2 minutes. Thermometer should read 32°F.
Calibration
• Step 3: If the thermometer does not read 32°F adjust it as follows: – Grip the nut under the thermometer head with an
open end wrench or pair of pliers. – Turn face of thermometer until pointer lines up
with the correct temperature (32°F).
Risk Factor #4 Improper Holding Temperatures
Potentially Hazardous Foods
• Foods that contain the right features for harmful bacterial and viral growth: – Nutrients – pH – Level of acidity – aw – Available water level – Oxygen – Anaerobic versus Aerobic
Potentially Hazardous Foods
• Cut leafy greens • Cut tomatoes • Cut melon
Potentially Hazardous Foods
• Poultry, fish, meat & eggs
Potentially Hazardous Foods
• Heat-treated, plant-based food items (vegetables, fruit, legumes, grains, pasta), fresh garlic in oil, seed sprouts & dairy
Temperature Danger Zone
• 41°F - 135°F • Bacteria grow rapidly between 70°F and 125°F
Temperature Danger Zone
• Keep foods out of the temperature danger zone as much as possible
Thaw Cook Hold Cool Reheat
Thawing Foods
• Submerged under running water of less than 70°F
• Under refrigeration • As part of the cooking process • In the microwave if the item will be fully
cooked immediately
Cooling Hot Food
• 135°F - 70°F within the first 2 hours or less • 70°F - 41°F within an additional 4 hours or less • Total time = 6 hours or less
Cooling Room Temperature Food
• 70°F - 41°F within 4 hours or less • Use rapid cooling equipment
Cooling Methods
• Ice wand/ice bath • Smaller portions/shallow pans • Use ice or cold water as an ingredient • Walk-in cooler or freezer • Leave uncovered
Reheating Food
• 165°F in 2 hours or less • 135°F in 2 hours or less for commercially
prepared items • The key is to use equipment that can reheat
rapidly
Date Marking
• If product is Ready-to-Eat, potentially hazardous and prepared or opened over 24 hours prior, it needs to be date marked
• The pathogen Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerated temperatures
Date Marking Exemptions
• Exemptions: – Hard cheeses – Cultured dairy products – Commercially prepared deli salads
Date Marking
• If combining ingredients, use earliest date • Date cannot go past manufacturer’s use-by
date
Open/Prep Date + 6 Days = Discard Date
Risk Factor #5 Contaminated Equipment
Cross Contamination
• Harmful bacteria and viruses from one food item or surface are transferred to another – Food to Food – Equipment to Food – Hands to Food – Hands to Equipment
Preventing Cross Contamination
• Storage • Timing • Cleaning and sanitizing • Hand washing • Glove use
Proper Food Storage: Safe Refrigeration/Freezer Storage
Ready –to-Eat Fully Cooked Foods
______
Unwashed Produce ______
Raw Seafood/Fish Shell Eggs (cooked to order)
145° F
Raw Whole Muscle Intact Beef
145° F
Raw Whole Pork Raw Wild Game
145° F
Raw Ground Meat or Fish Mechanically Tenderized Meat Pooled Eggs/Egg Batter
155° F

BOTTOM
Cleaning versus Sanitizing
• Cleaning uses detergent to remove debris • Sanitizing uses heat or chemical to reduce the
number of harmful bacteria and viruses to safe levels
Wash, Rinse and Sanitize
• Food contact surfaces in constant use must be washed, rinsed and sanitized every 4 hours
• Other items should be washed, rinsed and sanitized – After contamination – Before working with different food items – Between uses
Three Compartment Sink
1. Pre-rinse, scrape or soak
2. Wash
3. Rinse
4. Sanitize
5. Air Dry
Three Compartment Sink
• Step 1: Rinse, scrape or soak items before washing them.

• Step 5: Air-dry items on a clean and sanitized surface.
Wiping Cloths
• Wet wiping clothes should be stored submerged in sanitizer solution
• Solution buckets should be kept off the floor in an area where they will not contaminate food items or clean equipment
