Food safety vs. Food sanitation Food Sanitation How food is handled to prevent foodborne illnesses Cleanliness of equipment and facilities Food Safety
Four Key recommendations for food Safety • Created by the USDA • CLEAN • Separate • Cook • Chill
Recommendation 1: Clean • Wash hands and food contact surfaces often • Cutting boards, knives, countertops • Use hot soapy water and sanitizing solution after each food
Recommendation 2: Separate • Never bag raw meats with other foods • Store raw meats on the bottom of the refrigerator
Recommendation 3: Cook Cook Foods to a safe temperature to kill bacteria • Temperature Danger Zone: • 40°-140° for home • 41°- 135° for food service • Different temperatures because home cooks do not always check the internal temperature
Cook continued • Check internal temperature for doneness • Use a food grade thermometer, place in center of food • Serve food quickly as possible after preparation: keep stored at 140°
Chill • Refrigerate foods promptly and defrost properly • Let food cool covered first then store below 40° • Marinate food in refrigerator • Defrosting: • In refrigerator • Under cold water • In the microwave
