Wiping Cloth Bucket

Viruses• Leading cause of foodborne illness• Can survive cooler and freezer temps• Can’t grown in food, grow once eaten• Found in food and water• Transfer - Person to person - People to food - People to food contact surfaces

Definition- The law, local codes and food safety best practices require wiping cloths to be kept in a sanitizing solution. Cloths should be rinsed in running water and wrung out before placing in bucket with sanitizing solution.

Information-A wet and dirty wiping cloth has all the ingredients present (moisture, soil, and temperature) to encourage bacteria growth. Wiping cloths kept in a bucket of sanitizer solution will keep bacteria from growing and contaminating your customer’s food when used to wipe up spills.

Process for Wiping Cloth Bucket Mixing and Testing-1. Fill bucket to the indicated line with warm water (65°-110°F)2. Pump in one stroke from SFSPac® Sanitizer Stock Solution Bottle3. Soak Clean wiping cloths between use4. To test, tear a 2” strip from Sanitizer Test Strip Dispenser5. Submerge into bucket for 10 seconds. Hold without moving.6. Remove and compare to color chart on dispenser-should be

200ppm. Refer to Sanitizer testing poster for more information.7. Record results on Sanitizer Test Log. If not 200ppm, empty and

rinse bucket, then prepare new solution.

You Should Know1. Why is it important to keep wiping towels in a wiping cloth

bucket?2. When should you change the sanitizer solution in bucket?3. What should be done before placing a cloth in the bucket?

Note: When mixed according to manufacturer’s instructions, SFSPac® Sanitizer complies with SFSPac® Sanitizer complies with 40 C.F.R. 180.940 at a concentration of 150-400 ppm as referenced in the 2005 Model Food Code.

Sanitizer Spray Bottles

Definition Health Departments have very specific sanitizer strength requirements in a spray bottle. Since diluted sanitizing solutions can lose strength when in storage, testing strips are used to check the ppm (parts per million) of all “ready to use” sanitizing solutions. Information Effective sanitizing procedures reduce the number of disease organisms which may be present after cleaning. All equipment and utensils used for cooking or preparing food must be washed, rinsed and sanitized after use throughout the day. This will insure that new food does not become contaminated and will reduce the build up of food particles. Spray bottles with sanitizing solution may be used to sanitize larger items that cannot be placed in a 3 compartment sink. Items must be washed with detergent, thoroughly rinsed and then spray sanitized. Sanitizer must be allowed to air dry. Process for Sanitizer Spray Bottle Mixing and Testing

1. Fill the properly marked sanitizer spray bottle to the designated label fill line with water.

2. Pump in one stroke from SFSPac® Sanitizer Stock Solution . 3. To test, tear a 2” strip from Sanitizer Test Strip Dispenser 4. Submerge into bottle for 10 seconds. Hold test strip STILL in the solution. (Tip – a

quick test can provide a good indicator by spraying gently a 2” strip of test paper) 5. Remove and compare to color chart on dispenser - should be a minimum 200ppm

and not more than 400 ppm. 6. Record results on Sanitizer Test Log Form.

7. If not 200 to 400 ppm, empty and rinse bottle, then prepare new solution. You Should Know

1. Why is it important to test solution in a sanitizer spray bottle? 2. When should you change the sanitizer solution in bottle? 3. How to test the solution for proper strength? 4. What is a use for Sanitizer in a spray bottle?

Sanitizer Sink

Definition Health Departments have very specific sanitizer strength requirements in a 3 compartment sink. Since sanitizing solutions can lose strength when in use, testing strips are used to check the ppm (parts per million) of all “ready to use” sanitizing solutions. Information Effective sanitizing procedures reduce the number of disease organisms which may be present after cleaning. All equipment and utensils used for cooking or preparing food must be washed, rinsed and sanitized after use throughout the day. This will insure that new food does not become contaminated and will reduce the build up of food particles. Process for Sanitizer Sink Mixing and Testing

1. Fill the sink to the designated “Sanitizer” label fill line with warm water (75°-110°F).

2. Open one pac of SFS Sanitizer solution using the SFS Pac Cutter. 3. Dump the entire contents of the SFSPac Sanitizer solution into the sink. 4. The sink is ready for use immediately. 5. To test, tear a 2” strip from Sanitizer Test Strip Dispenser 6. Submerge into sink for 10 seconds. Hold test strip STILL in the solution. 7. Remove and compare to color chart on dispenser-should be a minimum

200 ppm and not more than 400 ppm. 8. Record results on Sanitizer Test Log Form. 9. If not 200 ppm, empty and refill sink - Then prepare new solution.

TIP – Sanitizer sink solution will generally handle up to three (3) Pot & Pan sink changes. Use the time when refilling Pot & Pan sinks to test Sanitizer solution. If solution still tests over 200 ppm and is clean then it is still good to use. You Should Know

1. Why is it important to keep wiping towels in a wiping cloth bucket? 2. When should you change the sanitizer solution in bucket? 3. What should be done before placing a cloth in the bucket? 4. How to test the solution for proper strength?

Thermometers and Calibrations

Thermometers can lose their accuracy when bumped, dropped or go through

severe temperature changes.

Calibrate at least once weekly.

Definition- Thermometers are used to determine the temperature in coolers, freezers, ovens, warewashing machines, etc. But perhaps the most important use is to measure the temperature of food. Thermometers should be calibrated weekly, after being dropped or after being used to check very hot or cold foods.

Information-Thermometers are essential for keeping food out of the temperature danger zone (41°-135°). The most common type used in food service the bi-metallic stemmed thermometer, which measures temperature from 0°F to 220°F. These thermometers are accurate to with +/- 2° degrees. They can be calibrated by two methods: Ice Point and Boiling Point.

Process for Ice Point Method Calibration-1. Fill a large container with crushed ice. Add clean tap water until the

container is full. 2. Put the thermometer stem or probe into the ice water so the sensing

area is completely submerged. 3. Wait 30 seconds, or until the indicator stops moving. 4. Hold the calibration nut securely with a wrench or other tool and rotate

the head of the thermometer until it reads 32°F.

Process for Boiling Point Method Calibration-1. Bring clean tap water to a boil in a deep pan. 2. Put the thermometer stem or probe into the boiling water so the

sensing area is completely submerged. 3. Wait 30 seconds, or until the indicator stops moving. 4. Hold the calibration nut securely with a wrench or other tool and

rotate the head of the thermometer until it reads 212°F, or the appropriate boiling point for your elevation.

You Should Know1. What is the temperature danger zone?*Note: The Temperature Danger Zone in the current FDA Food Code is 41°F to 135°F. Some jurisdictions are on

older versions of the Food Code and use 41°F to 140°F. Use the temperature that is in the version of the Food Code followed by your jurisdiction.

Safe Food Handling

USDA guidelines to keep food safe:1. Clean - hands and surfaces often2. Separate – don’t cross-contaminate3. Cook – to proper temperatures4. Chill – promptly

1 2 3 4

Definition- Time and temperature play critical roles in the process of maintaining a safe food supply. They affect food quality and safety from the moment food arrives at the back door to the time a prepared meal is presented to the customer.

Information-Handling food properly plays a critical role in ensuring that the food that you serve to your customers stays safe. There are several factors that should be taken into consideration when preparing food, holding and serving food.

Process for Safe Food Handling-1. Thawing food properly minimizes the growth of foodborne

microorganisms.2. Thawing should be done either in the refrigerator, under running

potable water at 70° F, in the microwave if it will be cooked immediately or as part of the cooking process.

3. Fruits and vegetables should not be washed in detergents or sanitizers. They should be prepared away from raw meat, poultry and eggs.

4. Pay attention to leafy vegetables that can trap dirt and microorganisms, remove outer leaves, pull leafy heads apart and rinse.

5. Prepare fruits and vegetables on clean and sanitized surfaces, using clean and sanitized utensils.

6. After cooking food to its minimal internal temperature it should be hot held at 135° F or above, until it is ready to be served.

7. Reheat all previously cooked foods to 165° F for 15 seconds, within 2 hours.

The following are minimum temperatures only. Always follow the product label.165° F = Whole and ground poultry, casseroles, and previously cooked items155° F = Ground meats; beef and pork (hotdogs and sausage)

You Should Know1. What are the 4 ways of thawing food properly?2. What should you remember when preparing fruits and vegetables?3. At what temperature should hot food be held at, prior to serving?

Cooling Food

If food has not cooled enough during cooling process, reheat it

to 165° for 15 seconds andthen re-cool it.

Discard if you cannot re-cool within the 2 hour cooling time frame.

Definition- Cooked food that will not be served right away (or is left over and can be saved) must be cooled quickly to prevent microbial growth. Temperatures must be taken during the cooling process to ensure that time and temperature standards are met and to ensure the safety of food.

Information-There are two acceptable methods of cooling foods. 1. Use the one-stage method to reduce the food temperature from

135°F to 41°F or lower within four hours.2. Use the two-step method to reduce the food temperature from

135°F to 70°F within two hours and from 70°F to 41°F or lower within an additional four hours. Employees should utilize the following practices to cool food rapidly.

Process for Cooling Food Safely-1. Reduce the quantity of the food being cooled by dividing food into

smaller containers.2. Use ice water baths.3. Stir foods to cool them faster. Use ice paddles, if available.4. Use steam-jacketed kettle filled with cold water to cool food rapidly.5. Add ice or cold water as an ingredient.6. Use blast or tumble chillers, if available.

You Should Know1. The denser the food, the slower it will cool.2. Shallow pans allow heat from food to disperse faster than deep pans.3. If food has not cooled enough in allotted time it should be reheated to

165° for 15 seconds and then cooled. If food has been reheated and the second attempt to cool is not successful, the food must be discarded.

4. Document the cooling process on a Cooling HACCP log. Include times and temperatures.*Note: The Temperature Danger Zone in the current FDA Food Code is 41°F to 135°F. Some jurisdictions are on

older versions of the Food Code and use 41°F to 140°F. Use the temperature that is in the version of the Food Code followed by your jurisdiction.

“PASS the Test!!” Fire Extinguisher Use & Safety

Objective Fires in a kitchen can occur quickly and without warning. It is critical that all staff know the proper procedures for using a fire extinguisher in case of an emergency. Give every employee a chance to pick up the fire extinguisher and review the P.A.S.S. method (WITHOUT ACTUALLY DISCHARGING THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER). Make sure they know where it is located and are familiar with its different parts. In addition, find out if your school has a fire blanket and where is located. TRAINING TIP - Have a fire extinguisher available to demonstrate.

Discussion Points:

• An untrained person cannot safely use a fire extinguisher • If there is a fire there is not enough time to read directions. • Fires only take 30 seconds to get out of control.

• There are 4 main parts on a fire extinguisher • Carrying handle/Operating lever. • Locking pin • Pressure gauge • Discharge nozzle

• Limiting factors of a fire extinguisher • Range is only 3-15 feet • It discharges its contents VERY QUICKLY (5 to 30 seconds)

What should you do if you see a fire?

• Make a quick “Fight or Flight Assessment” by evaluating the following • Can you . . .

Remove source of fuel Turn off equipment if possible Turn off vents if necessary

• Has the Fire Alarm been sounded? • Is the fire small and NOT spreading? • Do you have a CLEAR escape route? • Should you use a fire extinguisher?

• If you use a fire extinguisher remember the P.A.S.S. Method

P Pull the pin A Aim low at the base of the fire S Squeeze the lever S Sweep the flames from side to side

Is the fire out? Watch the fire area, if the fire re-ignites repeat PASS. If the fire cannot be controlled then LEAVE!

Hand Washing

19 million food borne illnesses each year are the result of

improper handwashing.

Definition- The majority of foodborne illness is transmitted by people. While it may appear fundamental, many food handlers fail to wash their hands properly and as often as needed. Never take this simple action for granted. You can help eliminate cross contamination from poor hygiene through frequent and proper hand washing with an effective cleansing agent.

Information-Wash your hands every time you enter the kitchen facility, use the restroom, eat, drink, clean, take out the garbage, handle raw food, touch your hair, face or body, after sneezing or coughing, when changing food handler gloves and when touching anything that could contaminate hands.

Process for Proper Hand Washing-1. Wet your hands with hot running water (100°) at dedicated

hand wash sink. 2. Apply soap.3. Rub hands together for at least twenty seconds.4. Clean under fingernails and between fingers.5. Rinse hands thoroughly under running water.6. Dry hands with single use towel.7. Turn off water using a single use towel if available.8. Always open door with towel when exiting a restroom or

wash hands again before returning to work station.

You Should Know1. How often should you wash your hands?2. Is it OK to wash hands in dish sink?3. Is it OK to use cold water to wash your hands?



Food Handler Gloves

You should NEVER use gloves in place of handwashing.

ALWAYS wash hands before putting on gloves and

when changing to a new pair.

Definition- If used, SINGLE-USE gloves shall be used for only one task such as working with READY-TO-EAT FOOD or with RAW FOOD, used for no other purpose, and discarded when damaged or soiled, or when interruptions occur in the operation.

Information-Handling food properly plays a critical role in ensuring that the food that you serve to your customers stays safe. There are several factors that should be taken into consideration when serving ready to eat food or handling raw food.

Process for Safe Food Handling-1. Always wash hands before putting on a fresh pair of gloves.2. Never take off and re-apply a used pair of gloves.3. Never use the same pair of gloves with different foods

(raw and cooked or when performing different task).4. When gloves become soiled, torn or ripped, discard; properly

wash your hands and put on a fresh pair.5. Change gloves at least every 4 hours during continual use.6. Use gloves to protect a bandaged cut or abrasion.

You Should Know1. What should you do before putting on a fresh pair of gloves?2. What should you do if you have a cut or bandaged finger?3. When should you change gloves?

Loss Prevention Module

“Watch Your Step”

Objective: Prevent Slips and Falls Background Information: Falls hurt your business. They can lead to absenteeism, decreased productivity, high insurance costs and, when a customer falls, heavy liability. Educate your staff on how they can help prevent falls, for their safety and for the safety of your customers.

Discussion Points: General Wear slip-resistant flat-soled shoes to work. Watch out for potential hazards inside and outside the cafeteria. When lights burn out, replace or report them. Do not be afraid to ask for assistance with heavy or bulky loads. Do not carry loads you can not see over. Watch where you are going at all times. Walk - don't run! No horseplay!

Indoors Make sure floor mats are clean and in place. Sweep and damp mop regularly to keep kitchen floor clean and dry. Place caution signs around the area you are mopping or when floors are still wet. Notify the manager of damaged flooring. Keep kitchen aisles clear. Do not set up stumbling hazards. Keep waste cans, bun trays and product cases

away from walking areas. Outside Keep loading dock and parking lot clear of litter, equipment and wet-slick spots. Notify manager of outdoor hazards. Shovel snow, scrape ice and use melting chemicals on icy walkways.

HACCP-Based Education Module Date Marking Ready-to-Eat (RTE), Potentially Hazardous Food(PHF) Definition: To ensure appropriate rotation of ready-to-eat food to prevent or reduce the risk of foodborne illness. Process for Date Marking RTE / PHF: 1. The best practice for a date marking system would be to include a label with the

product name, the date, the time it is prepared or opened and a “use by” date. Examples of how to indicate when the food is prepared or opened include: • Labeling food with a calendar date, such as “cut cantaloupe, 5/16/08, 8:00 a.m.

use by 5/23/08,” 2. Follow State or local health department requirements. 3. Label all ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous foods that are prepared on-site and are

held. 4. Label any processed, ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous foods when opened, if they

are to be held. 5. Refrigerate all ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous foods at 41 ºF or below. 6. Serve or discard refrigerated, ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous foods within 7 days. 7. Foods to be frozen - Indicate with a separate label the date prepared, the date frozen,

and the date thawed of any refrigerated, ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous foods. 8. Calculate the 7-day time period by counting only the days that the food is under

refrigeration. For example: • On Monday, 8/1/08, lasagna is cooked, properly cooled, and refrigerated with a

label that reads, “Lasagna, Cooked, 8/1/08.” • On Tuesday, 8/2/08, the lasagna is frozen with a second label that reads, “Frozen,

8/2/08.” Two labels now appear on the lasagna. Since the lasagna was held under refrigeration from Monday, 8/1/08 – Tuesday, 8/2/08, only 1 day is counted towards the 7-day time period.

• On Tuesday 8/16/05 the lasagna is pulled out of the freezer. A third label is placed on the lasagna that reads, “Thawed, 8/16/05.” All three labels now appear on the lasagna. The lasagna must be served or discarded within 6 days.

MONITORING: A designated employee will check refrigerators daily to verify that foods are date marked and that foods exceeding the 7-day time period are not being used or stored. CORRECTIVE ACTION: 1. Retrain any foodservice employee found not following these procedures. 2. Foods that are not date marked or that exceed the 7-day time period will be discarded.


“Customer TLC”

Objective: Eliminate Customer Accidents Background Information: A good reputation is the key to a successful business. That is why it is important to make your cafeteria a safe one. It only takes a second for dangerous situations to pop up. Therefore, guest safety is everyone’s responsibility. This lesson plan will review different ways you and your staff can make your location a safe place for everyone. Discussion Points: • Clean spills and pick up trash immediately. • Keep the parking lot clear of trash and spills. • Keep floors clear of obstacles such as food, trash, brooms, trays, etc. • Put out “Caution: Wet Floor” signs when mopping or when floors are wet. • Make sure floor mats are clean and in place. • Report damaged carpet or flooring that may cause falls immediately. • Watch for unsafe conditions inside and outside the cafeteria. Report them immediately or

correct them yourself. • Change or report burned-out light bulbs. • Watch where you are going! • Watch for unsafe conditions outside the location that may cause injuries, for example,

cracked sidewalk, potholes and slick areas caused by ice, snow or rain. • Know your school’s Emergency Evacuation Plan. To accurately document training, progress and education credit, be sure to complete Attendance Roster and Training Record. .

“Protect Your Back”

Objective: Proper Lifting Techniques

Background Information: Back strain is a common cause of injuries and the leading cause of absences from work. There are various reasons for strained backs, but the leading cause is improper lifting techniques. Stress to your employees the importance of proper lifting. Practicing correct lifting techniques will cut down on injuries and relieve the strain on our Health Care, Insurance, and Workers’ Compensation systems. Discussion Points: Stretch before you lift to prevent muscle strain. Plan your lift. Know where you are going. Make sure the path is clear to where you will be carrying your load. Store heavy items between knee and shoulder height – it is easiest to reach. Have delivery people unload and deliver merchandise as close as possible to where it will

be stored. Do not carry more than one item at a time. Do not be afraid to ask for help if the load is too heavy or bulky.

Managers: Demonstrate and practice proper lifting techniques with employees. Follow These Steps When Lifting

1. Plant you feet shoulder width apart. 2. Bend at your knees. Keep your back straight. 3. Use your leg muscles to lift. 4. Lift smoothly. Do not stand up quickly. 5. Hold load firmly and close to your body. 6. When changing directions, turn your feet with the load. You could injure yourself if you

twist your back. 7. Do not stretch to pick up or set down loads.

HACCP-Based SOPs Education Module

Machine Warewashing - High Temperature Definition: To prevent foodborne illness by ensuring that all food contact surfaces are properly cleaned and sanitized. Information: 1. Train foodservice employees on using the procedures in this SOP. 2. Follow State or local health department requirements. 3. Follow manufacturer’s instructions regarding the use and maintenance of equipment

and use of chemicals for cleaning and sanitizing food contact surfaces. Refer to Storing and Using Poisonous or Toxic Chemicals SOP.

All silverware, serving dishes, and utensils are washed, rinsed, and sanitized after each use. The machine for warewashing will be checked prior to each meal period to ensure that it is functioning properly. Employees who use the warewashing machine will be responsible for knowing how to use the machine, document its use, and properly maintain it after use. Steps include:

1. Fill dish machine tanks prior to use, utilizing the automatic filler 2. Run dish machine for 10 minutes after being filled, but prior to being used, to

heat water. 3. Check that soap and rinse additive dispensers have enough products for the

day’s use. 4. Scrape and rinse all items before placing them in the machine. 5. Load the dishwasher racks. Avoid overloading or improper loading. 6. Place rack in machine and close door. 7. Check temperatures for wash, rinse, and final rinse cycles and the water

pressure. Temperatures and pressure should be at least: Wash - 150°F and run for a minimum of 2 minutes. Rinse - 170°. Final rinse - 180°F. For stationary-rack, single-temperature machines, the

rinse must be at least 165°F. Minimum water pressure for final rinse should be at 20 psi.

8. Record the date, temperature, and psi and initial the entry on the provided Warewashing Log. This should be done one time per meal period.


Machine Warewashing - High Temperature, continued

9. If available place a thermal strip or a t-stick on a tray. Check the thermal strip (or t-stick) after it has run through the machine to make sure it has changed to black, indicating that the rinse temperature is adequately hot. The strip (or t-stick) should be taped on the Warewasing log with the temperature readings. If final rinse temperature does not meet the standard, do not run anything through the machine and report the problem to a supervisor immediately.

10. Run racks of trays and flatware through the dish machine. 11. Remove trays and flatware from machine and allow to air dry. MONITORING: Foodservice employees will: 1. During all hours of operation, visually and physically inspect food contact surfaces of

equipment and utensils to ensure that the surfaces are clean. 2. In a 3-compartment sink, on a daily basis:

Visually monitor that the water in each compartment is clean. Take the water temperature in the first compartment of the sink by using a

calibrated thermometer. If using chemicals to sanitize, test the sanitizer concentration by using the
