School HACCP n n A standardized food safety plan to prevent rather than react to food borne illness. Specifically, it is: n science-based n operation specific n practical. www. foodsafetysite. com

Process HACCP n Based on the number of times a menu item passes through the temperature danger zone (41 o. F to 135 o. F). n n PHF No Cook – does not go through temperature danger zone; there is no cook step. PHF Same Day Service – typically goes through the temperature danger zone time. PHF Complex Food Preparation – goes through the temperature danger more than one time. Non PHF – the food is not potentially hazardous; may be served hot or cold; may need to be refrigerated to ensure food quality 6

Just a few HACCP Reminders… n Proper hand washing

Speaking of hands…. n n n Nails – keep them short, clean unpolished and nothing artificial Studies show that food handlers who wear artificial nails are more likely to harbor pathogens on their fingertips than those who have natural nails, both before AND after hand washing Food Code: employees shall keep nails trimmed, filed, maintained so edges and surfaces are cleanable and not rough. Unless wearing intact gloves in good repair, a food handler may NOT wear fingernail polish or artifical nails when working with exposed food.

Jewelry n n n “Jewelry rule” is for jewelry worn on fingers, hands and forearms Keep it simple - wedding band only Medic Alert bracelets carry potential for transmitting pathogens to food (wear as necklace inside shirt, or on ankle) Name badges can be worn if secured on the body, not on hands/arms Food Code says: except for a plain ring such as a wedding band, food employees may NOT wear jewelry including medical information on their arms and hands

Leftovers n n n ALL leftovers- phf or non- must be used within three days (72 hours) from the time of preparation Does not include commercially packaged foods that are displayed for service in their original packaging Not all foods can be saved as leftovers… if a phf…check temp of food at end of service to determine if it can be safely saved If 135*F+ or 41*F, then you can safely save it- CLAD - COVER, LABEL AND DATE Record on section 15 of PR amount, temp, use by date

FIFO First In First Out n n n Can only be effective if you : Date foods as you receive them CLAD all leftovers Past-dated foods will lose their quality and sometimes become unsafe. FIFO ensures proper rotation of foods in storage. When foods are received, put the oldest in the front and the newest in the back.

Single-use Gloves Wear non-latex gloves because latex gloves might cause allergic reactions in some workers. n Change gloves: n when they tear n before beginning a new task n every four hours when doing the same task and n after handling raw meat, fish, or poultry n Safe Food Handler 27

Bare-hand Contact n n No bare-hand contact of ready-to-eat food Ready-to-eat food (RTE) includes: – – – – Cooked food Raw fruits and vegetables Baked goods Dried sausages Canned food Snack foods Beverages Safe Food Handler 28

Staff training n n Your staff must receive HACCP training at least every 5 years More often is better! Things change fast in this science-based world of food safety.

Pre-prepared Foods Items prepared in advance for future service beyond a specific meal. n Items cooked or prepared in-house and then frozen for future use. n Store for four weeks. CLAD !!! n Must include a list of these foods in Binder 1 and include steps in recipe for reheating and serving n

Wishing you a happy, safe, and healthy 2010 -11 school year!
