  1. Answer the following questions about the usage and maintenance of food thermometers.
    • Describe when you must use a thermometer.

To avoid food poisoning, minimum internal temperature must be reached. To make sure that temperature does not fall into the danger zone of cooked food, a food thermometer is needed.

  • How do you clean and sanitise a thermometer?

To sanitize the thermometer simply wash it with hot, soapy water. If the water isn’t accessible wipe the thermometer with clean alcohol swab.

  • How do you calibrate a thermometer?

·         Glass should be filled with ice-cubes then top with cold water

·         Water should be stir and sit for 3 minutes

·         In the water insert the thermometer and make sure to not touch the sides.

  • What actions are you required to take if you identify a fault in a thermometer; for example, the temperature variance during calibration is more than 1°C?

·         Conduct testing in hot and cold temperature.

·         Make sure that calibration is included in service agreement if auto mated system is used.


  1. Answer the following questions about the danger zone.
    • What is the temperature danger zone?

The term is used to describe the range of the temperature where the food is at risk of developing the harmful bacteria. The food in the danger zone can cause illness.

  • How you would prevent food being left in the danger zone when storing, thawing and reheating food?

Process

Prevention method

Storing

The temperature of the freezer should be below -15 degree Celsius. For checking the temperature of the fridge, use thermometer.

Thawing

In frozen food the food poisoning bacteria can grow, it is thawing. 

Reheating

Reheat the hazardous food that is to be hold hot.

  • For each of the following situations, explain the corrective action you would take in case these food hazards cannot be controlled.

Situation

Corrective action

Food has not cooled from 21°C to 5°C within 4 hours in the cool room

·         For dividing the food into smaller container, reduce the bulk of the food.

·          Before cooling the meat and poultry cut it into large joints

·         Make sure that there is space in the container so that the air can circulate.

Food is ready to serve to the customer when you notice that food has not reached 60°C or higher

Increase thermostat on holding out, If critical limit has not been met

Food for thawing has been placed in the coolroom above ready-to-eat or cooked food

Don’t refreeze the thawed food. There is higher risk of food poisoning bacteria in the food that is frozen.


  1. What is the 2-hour/4-hour rule and how do you apply it?

The Rule tells how long  conceivably unsafe foods*, food sources like cooked meat and food varieties containing meat, dairy items, arranged products of the soil, cooked rice and pasta is held at temperatures in the peril zone; that is between 5° C and 60° C.

How to apply 2-hour/4-hour rule:

·         Food can be used, sold if the food is held between 5°C and 60°C.

·         Food should be thrown away if the food held between 5°C and 60°C for 4 hours.


  1. How do you monitor and record the temperature of storage equipment such as the coolroom and freezer?

Chilled Storage (<8°C).  Cold rooms and refrigerators should be kept clean and tidy. Catering manager is responsible to raise the request if the refrigerated space is inadequate.

Frozen Storage (-18 to -21°C). The operating temperature of a freezer is between –18°C to –21°C.To be sure about the maximum operating efficiency of a freezer it is to be regularly defrosted.


  1. When chemical testing is conducted on food products?

Foodborne illness can be traced of unhealthy level of chemical residues that is contaminated from soil, water, virus and microbiological contaminants. Therefore, the first line of defence is effective chemical and microbiological testing.


  1. Describe the safe food-handling practices for the following food items. Include storage and temperature requirements.

Food item

Safe food-handling practices

Dairy

Store Dairy products at the temperature of 2°C to 4°C (36° to 39°F).

Dried goods
