HACCP
Critical Temperatures for Food ServiceThe following temperature guidelines, based on the federal Food and Drug Administration’s 2009 Food Code, apply at various stages of food preparation and serving. Strictly maintaining these temperatures is particularly important when dealing with potentially hazardous foods. These foods, which favor bacterial growth, include meat, poultry, eggs, seafood, dairy products, cut melon, raw seed sprouts, garlic-in-oil mixtures, cooked rice or potatoes and others.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points

Refrigerated potentiallyhazardous foods
41º F or below
Frozen foods 0º F or below
Check temperatures of food upon receipt and reject any potentially hazardous foods that fall outside of accepted ranges. Put perishable foods away promptly

Refrigeration (air) temperature 38º F or below
Refrigeration (food) temperature 41º F or below
Seafood 30º F - 34º F
Fresh produce 41º F - 45º F
Deep chill 26º F - 32º F
Freezer (food) temperature 0º F or below
Dry storage 50º F - 70º F

Why is measuring the temperature of food important? Because microorganisms (germs, bacteria, and viruses) that can cause food borne illness grow best on foods in the temperature danger zone. The temperature danger zone includes the temperatures between 45 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit on a food thermometer. Food should be in this temperature range for no more than a total of four hours.

• SIMPLE WAY TO TEST A THERMOMETER.• Stick the sensing tip or stem in a clean, Styrofoam
or glass cup that contains half ice and half water. Make sure the tip does not touch the side or bottom of the cup.
• Wait four/ five minutes or until the needle is steady. The temperature should read 32 degrees F
• If the dial does not read 32 degrees F• Turn the nut until the needle is on 32 F. • Less expensive thermometers do not have calibration
nuts. • If the dial is reading more than five degrees above or
below 32 degrees, you should replace the thermometer

Convection Plate Heaters gets plates up to 170 degrees
Radiant Plate heaters gets plates up to 140 degrees-Note: The bottom plate gets to that temp however the top plate temp. could be much less
The wax base gets up over 212 degrees & holds for 1-1.5 hours
Induction systems gets to 175 degrees and hold temp for 45 min. to a hour

Cold product coming out of milk cooler or air curtains are around 40 to 41 degreesIt is very important to put product into these units cold

Hot Food Counters holds your food temps. Point to Remember: HFC do not heat your food products.
12WWW.ALLUSERV.COM
TRAY PREPARATION:The average tray line time is 3-4 trays per minute. During that time, food products is moving down the tray line uncover. Points to remember: Cover food asap, reassess tray line process to accommodate better temperature retention.

Typical Tray Delivery Carts with domes
Points to Remember: Heat is building up in a closed cart so be aware of delivery times from kitchen to patient. Patient Satisfaction Scores-e.g. Press Ganey will be affected unless you assess delivery times from point of kitchen to patient.
