Refrigerator and freezer temperatures (refrigerator: 41�F or lower; freezer: 0�F or lower).

Standard 4
Identify the factors contributing to food-borne contamination, illness, and prevention strategies.

Discuss general concepts of food-borne illness.
- Food-borne illness results from eating foods contaminated with pathogens.
- General conditions for bacterial growth include food, acidity, time, temperature, oxygen, moisture (FAT TOM).
- Contaminated food does not always have an off odor or flavor, so it may look and smell normal.

Three types of food contamination hazards.
- Physical - hair, glass, metal shards, fingernails.
- Chemical - cleaning supplies and pesticides.
- Biological - harmful micro-organisms (pathogens)

Identify the four types of pathogen contaminants
- Bacteria - tiny single cell micro-organism including Salmonella and E-coli.
- Viruses - simple organism responsible for majority of foodborne illness - Norovirus and Hepatitis A.
- Parasites - organism that must live in or on a host to survive ie. Giardia
- Fungi - spore producing organism including yeast and mold. Typically, visible on spoiled food.

Food-borne illness symptoms that exclude a worker from handling food may include the following:
- Sore throat with fever
- Jaundice
  - Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Open and infected sores
- Food handlers need to be symptom-free for 24 hours before handling food.

Discuss prevention strategies.
- Controlling Time and Temperature
  - In cold storage, place ready-to-eat (RTE) foods on top and uncooked animal products toward the bottom according to cooking temperature.
  - All TCS (Time and Temperature Control for Safety) foods need to be covered and stored inthe refrigerator with a label including a use-by date, store at 41�F or lower, if produced on sitefor no more than 7 days.
  - Food should not be in the Danger Zone (the temperature range of 41-135�F), for longer than 4 hours total from start of preparation.
  - Cooking to safe internal temperatures; be sure to use a clean and sanitized thermometer.
    - Seafood, pork, beef, veal, lamb-145�F (for a minimum of 15 seconds)
    - Ground meats (pork, beef, veal, lamb) and eggs-155�F (for a minimum of 15 seconds)
    - All Poultry (whole or ground)-165�F (for a minimum of 15 seconds)
    - Reheat temp-165�F (for a minimum of 15 seconds)

Cooling and reheating foods to the correct temperature for the correct amount of time using proper equipment.
- Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.
- Hold hot 135�F and above.
- Cold 41�F or lower.

Food needs to be cooled below 70�F within two hours and below 41�F within four more hours.
- Methods include ice water baths, ice paddles, blast chiller, and dividing large amounts of food in small, shallow, covered containers for quick cooling.
- Store foods in the refrigerator and freezer so that the cool air can circulate to keep food safe. Don't cover shelves or overcrowd.
  - Bring sauces, soups etc. to a boil when reheating; heat other TCS leftovers to 165�F (for aminimum of 15 seconds).
- Safely thaw foods, including in the refrigerator, under cold running water, in the microwave, oras part of the cooking process.
  - Never defrost at room temperature.
  - Cold running water should not exceed 70�F.
  - The product should not exceed 41�F internal temperature.
  - If thawing food in the microwave, cook immediately.

Preventing cross contamination and cross contact.
- Cross-contact happens when one food containing allergens comes in contact with a surface or food, thereby posing a hazard for persons having that allergy.
  - The big 8 allergens include: tree nuts, eggs, milk, soy, wheat, peanuts, fish, and shell fish
- Cross-contamination is the unintentional transfer of pathogens from people, surfaces or food toanother food.
  - Food Storage: food is 6 inches off the ground, label stored food correctly, store ready-to-eat(RTE) food separately or above raw food.
  - Equipment Storage: Store service-ware and food containers upside down on a clean, sanitized surface, and store utensils with handles up.
  - Food Preparation: clean and sanitize work area and equipment, wash hands between task,never place cooked food on a plate which has previously held raw meat, poultry or seafood.
    - When serving foods: no bare hand contact with RTE food.

Identify proper sanitation techniques used with tools, equipment, and surfaces.
- Discuss three-compartment sink dishwashing and the order used when washing and sanitizing dishes (i.e., rinse and scrape, wash, rinse, sanitize and air dry).
- Frequently clean and sanitize work surfaces (i.e., counters).
- Clean and sanitize cutting boards, dishes, tools, etc., after preparing each food item, or every four hours of continuous use.
- Never place cooked food on a plate which has previously held raw meat, poultry or seafood without first cleaning and sanitizing the plate.

Strand 3

Forecasting sales.

Standard 2
Determine how portion control effects food costs.

Portion cost
- Total cost � by the number of portions = cost per portion.

Standard 3
Identify concepts of purchasing food to control expenses.

Purchasing prepared and processed food items increases product costs.

Purchasing raw increases labor costs.
- As Purchased (AP) is the product before any trimming, cutting, or cooking.
- Edible Portion (EP) is the product after it has to be trimmed or cut.
- Percent Yield is percentage of the remaining food after cutting, trimming, or cooking.
  - Edible Portion (EP) � As Purchased (AP) = Percentage Yield
  - Edible Portion (EP) � Percentage Yield = As Purchased (AP)
  - As Purchased (AP) � Percentage Yield = Edible Portion (EP)

Standard 4
Calculate menu pricing.

Food Cost Percentage: the percentage of sales an operation spends on food products.
- The two main functions of menu pricing are:
  - Inform customers of cost.
  - Determine profitability of menu item.
- If your food cost percentage is 30% of the menu price, the additional 70% covers profit andexpenses such as labor, rent, utilities, equipment, and insurance.
- Industry standard food cost percentage ranges 28-35%.
  - Cost Per Portion � Food Cost Percentage = Menu Price
  - Cost Per Portion � Menu Price = Food Cost Percentage
- Menu item classification
  - A method to determine popularity and profitability of each menu item.
    - Star-high profit, high popularity
    - Plow Horse-low profit, high popularity
    - Dog-low profit, low popularity
