Organization
The first and most important aspect of a clean and healthy kitchen is
organization. This applies in multiple ways, and can have a large overall
effect on your food storage safety. For example, an organized kitchen is
easier to keep:
The rule of FIFO is that the first food purchased is the first food you use. By
following this rule, and always making sure to use the oldest ingredients
first, you can reign in a large portion of any waste issues you might be
experiencing. Of course, depending on the volume and size of your kitchen,
its possible to bend this rule a little. But always make sure that if any of
your food items are approaching their use by date, or expiration date, you
use them before they expire.
Temperature Control
Well-spaced Storing
foods on top of other food,
or over-packing the fridge,
can affect the rate of
spoilage and overall
quality of the food.
Following these simple rules can have an extremely positive impact on your
food preservation.
Pest control Pests are a problem no matter where in the world you
are. Keep an eye on the floor, corners, and tight spaces within your
kitchen to avoid having pests become a problem.
Sausage can be stored over 4-5 months if the conditions for storage. The
dried meat dishes are to be kept in a room with a minimum amount of
moisture.

Learning Objectives:
From the time the food is delivered to the minute it is served to the
customer, food safety should be at the top of the list. Food business
operators in particular should bear in mind that they are required by law, to
ensure that any of their staff who handle food receive appropriate training in
hygiene matters that are in line with their work activity.
There is little margin for error in any stage of food handling, whether it is
preparation, processing, packaging, storage, transportation or offering it for
sale. Also, note that if you prepare high risk foods the standards required of
you will be much stricter than if you only prepare low risk foods.

Storage
Always wash hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before
and after handling food.
Do not wipe your hands on your clothing as this can easily transfer
microbes and bacteria.
Try to have just one person serve food that is about to be eaten.
Have foods ready not any longer than necessary before serving time.
Wash and sanitize flatware or other utensils, which fall to the floor.
Do not taste foods with any utensil used either to mix or stir food.
Whenever possible always try to handle any food items that are about
to be eaten, with a utensil (i.e. tongs) rather than your bare hands.
Hand washing
Clean hands are essential for working in a kitchen environment. Its very
easy for bacteria to spread from the food we touch to door handles, plates,
cutlery and so on. Hand washing is one of the best ways to prevent the
spread of germs between people.
Starting work
Taking breaks
Eating
Drinking
Smoking
Scratching
Rinse thoroughly
Dry with paper towels or a hot air dryer (remember that wet hands
can carry and transfer more germs than dry ones)
Turn of the taps with your elbows (if possible) or use a paper towel to
do so.
Gloves
Gloves are ideal for helping you to minimize bare hand contact with any
cooked and ready-to-eat foods. They are there to protect both the food and
the worker (i.e. they can be used to cover damaged sin or protect hands from
risk of developing skin conditions).
The improper use of gloves can increase rather than reduce food
hygiene risks, for instance a punctured glove can lead to glove
material ending up in food.
Change gloves:
If they tear.
Try not to touch any part of a dish or plate which will come into
contact with a persons food or mouth.
Pull out disposable cups from the base of a tube. This prevents your
fingers from going inside the cup.
Clothes
Try to avoid wearing outdoor clothes in a food preparation area, instead wear
clean, and where appropriate, washable protective clothing.
Wear:
Gloves
Hairnet
Do not:
Personal hygiene
Food service workers must maintain a high degree of personal cleanliness
when receiving, storing, cooking, processing, packaging, transporting or
disposing of food.
Here are some basic tips to follow;
Keep fingers away from your face, mouth, hair, skin and other parts of
the body.
Don't brush or comb your hair when you are near food.
Don't cough, sneeze, spit or smoke near food and avoid touching your
nose, teeth, ears and hair, or scratching when handling food.
Tips:
Preheat hot holding equipment before you put any food in it. If you
dont then youll be putting food into cold equipment which encourage
bacteria growth.
To distribute the heat evenly, make sure to stir the food at regular
intervals.
Keep the food covered, this not only retains the heat but also stops
contaminates from falling into the food.
Perishable foods
After, a delivery always unload perishable foods first and immediately
refrigerate them.
Make sure that all necessary guards are in place before operating any
equipment.
Do not to operate any machinery or use any chemical until it has been
assessed by a qualified person.
Make sure you are properly trained to use any kitchen appliances.
Turn off all equipment and appliances at the end of each shift.
Work surfaces
Make sure that work surfaces and equipment are visually clean, this goes a
long way towards ensuring that they are free from high levels of harmful
bacteria.
Clean as you go
Train yourself to 'clean as you go', for instance
cleaning up any spillages immediately.
Cans
Before opening a can of food always clean the top of it first. Remember that
once the can is opened, any food which is not used immediately must be
quickly stored in food grade containers and placed in a refrigerator.
Can openers
Food can be left on any can opener after it has been used, its therefore
advisable to clean it after each use.
Plates
Never place cooked food on a unwashed plate that had previously held raw
meat, poultry, or seafood.
Food labels
Take the time to read product labels very carefully, and look for advisory
statements like may contain ingredient X.
Ovens
Close oven doors straight after removing or adding food items.
Uncovered food
Try not to leave food unattended or uncovered for long periods.
Cutting boards
Use separate cutting boards, dishes, utensils and cooking equipment for
vegetables, raw meat and cooked meats.
Plates
When handling plates and trays do not touch eating surfaces with fingers.
Unused sauces
Keep unused condiments, marinades and sauces separate from leftover
ones.
Jewelry
Do not wear any watches, rings, bracelets or other jewelry when working
with food. Germs can hide under them or just as worse they could
accidentally fall off into the food.
Mitts
Use oven mitts when taking hot dishes from an oven or microwave. Do not
use a wet oven mitt, as it can present a scald danger if the moisture in the
mitt is heated.
Cook or freeze fresh poultry, fish, ground meats, and variety meats
within 2 days; other beef, veal, lamb, or pork, within 3 to 5 days.
Canned foods are safe indefinitely as long as they are not exposed to
freezing temperatures, or temperatures above 90 F. If the cans look
ok, they are safe to use. Discard cans that are dented, rusted, or
swollen. High-acid canned food (tomatoes, fruits) will keep their best
quality for 12 to 18 months; low-acid canned food (meats, vegetables)
for 2 to 5 years.
