NEHA 5-6 Flashcards
(35 cards)
TCS
Time/temperature control for safety foods
Foods that under right circumstances support growth of food borne illness causing microorganism
PHFs
Foods that are high in protein
Slightly acidic ph
Have high moisture content
TCS foods
Milk and milk products
Meat
Melons
Green leafy vegetables
Cross contamination an happen:
Direct - raw meat touches other food
By drip- raw meat drips into ready to eat foods
Indirect- raw and ready to eat are prepared with same equipment
Stock rotation
Practice of ensuring oldest stock is used within its shelf life
FIFO
First in first out
Stock rotation
TCS foods must be stored
At or below 41’
Max shelf life is 7 days
ROP
Reduced oxygen packaging
Kept at 41’ or below
Susceptible to clostridium botulinum
Thawing methods
Refrigerator method
Submergence method
Microwave method
Microwave methods
Is acceptable, provided that it will be cooked immediately afterwards
Slacking
Process of gradually increasing frozen food from -10 to 25’
Facilitates even heat distribution during cooking process
Cooling TCS foods
135-70 w/in 2 hrs
135-41 w/in 6 hour
Most important design principle for food premises
Workflow should be linear or continuous
Progressing from raw material to finished product
Air gap
Space between a water outlet and highest level water can reach in a sink drain or tub.
Cheapest and most reliable method of preventing backflow
Cross. Connection
Mixing of drinking and contaminated water in pluming lines
Potable water
Water that is safe to drink
Approved
Thermometers most comet used
Acceptable range
Bi metal stem thermometer
0-220
When using hot water to manually sanitize objects
Immerse for
At least what temp
30 seconds
171’
CIP
Clean in place
Necessary when equip cannot be dismantled or moved
Chemical method
Chlorine
Iodine
Quaternary ammonium compounds
MSDS
Material safety data sheet
Contain hazards if specific chemicals and directions for safe use.
Sanitize
Chemicals or heat reduce number of microorganism to safe level
Disinfectants and sanitized are not the same thing
Disinfectants not permitted in food prep area
Quats is chemical disinfectant, ? Why in food prep area?
?
IPM
Integrated pest management
An approach to pest control in which a wide range of practices are used to prevent or solve pest problems
