– Immunocompromised
– Taking specific
④Contaminated equipment
medications

⑤Poor personal hygiene

What food causes illness?
• Any food can cause foodborne illness
– Even non-time/temperature control for safety foods
• Characteristics of a time/temperature control for
safety (TCS) food:
– Low acid
– Moist
– Contains protein
Keep time/temperature control for safety food out
of the temperature danger zone!

3
Temperature danger zone
• When food is in the
danger zone, harmful
bacteria can grow,
multiply, and possibly
cause infection
• Bacteria can double in
number in as little as 20
minutes

4
Cross contamination
• Bacteria can be transferred from one food to
another if foodReady
is not To Eat foods
properly stored

Leftover
• Store raw food below foods
cooked or ready-to-eat food

Whole

Storage
Preventing cross contamination
Controlling time and temperature

Food Labels
• Do not remove the labels from commercially
processed food
• If removed, label the container with the name of
the contents
• Date food items with the month and year
• Fresh produce should be dated with month and day

10
Temperature of storage
• Refrigeration
units
– Must keep food at 41°F or colder
– Air temperature should be 39°F or colder
• Freezer
– Must keep food at 0°F or colder
– Air temperature should be 0°F or colder
– Keep floors dry and clean
• Dry storage
– Best if temperature is between 50°F and 70°F
– Humidity level should be between 50% and 60%

11
Storage of cleaning chemicals
• Improperly stored
chemicals can possibly
contaminate food
• Store separate from food,
equipment, utensils,
linen, and single-service
and single-use items

12
First In, First Out (FIFO)
• FIFO ensures proper
rotation of foods in storage
• When foods are received,
put the oldest in the front
and the newest in the back
• Past-dated foods will lose
their quality and sometimes
become unsafe
• Inventory cycle

13
Cross-contamination in
storage
• Bacteria can be
transferred from one
food to another if food
is not properly stored

• Store raw food below


cooked or ready-to-eat
food

• Properly cover foods

14
Proper storage to prevent
contamination
Whole beef, fish,
and pork

Ground meats and


fish

Whole and ground
