CHOOSING A SUPPLIER
Make sure suppliers are approved and reputable.
Develop a relationship with your suppliers and get to know their food safety practices.
Arrange deliveries so they arrive one at a time and during off-peak hours.

REJECTING SHIPMENTS
You have the right to refuse any delivery that does not meet your standards.
![Page 11: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TO REJECT A PRODUCT OR SHIPMENT: Set the rejected product aside Tell the delivery person exactly what is
wrong with the rejected product. Get a signed adjustment or credit slip
from the delivery person before throwing the product away or letting the delivery person remove it
Log the incident on the invoice or receiving document
![Page 12: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HOW TO CHECK THE TEMPERATURE OF DELIVERIES
Meat, poultry and fish. Insert the thermometer stem or probe into the thickest part of the product (usually the center).
Reduced Oxygen Packaged (ROP) and bulk food. Insert the thermometer stem or probe between two packages.
Other packaged food. Open the package and insert the thermometer stem or probe into the product.
![Page 13: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
HOW TO CHECK THE TEMPERATURE OF DELIVERIES
Live, molluscan shellfish. Insert the thermometer stem in the middle of the carton or case-between the shellfish-for an air temperature reading.
Eggs. Check the air temperature of the delivery truck, as well as the truck’s temperature chart recorder for extreme temperature fluctuations during transport.

FRESH PRODUCE
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables have different temperature requirements for transportation and storage.
![Page 54: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

When receiving fresh cut produce, reject any items that have passed their expiration date.
![Page 55: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
FRESH PRODUCE
When receiving fresh cut produce, reject any items that have passed their expiration date.
Signs of Spoilage Mold Cuts Wilting and Mushiness Discoloration and dull appearance Unpleasant odors and tastes
![Page 56: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
FRESH PRODUCE
Reject deliveries if there is evidence of mishandling or insect infestation (including insect eggs and egg cases).
![Page 57: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
FRESH PRODUCE
Keep in mind that what applies to one item may not apply to another. For example, peaches with cuts in them could be considered poor quality, but potatoes and carrots with cuts would be considered acceptable.
![Page 58: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
FRESH PRODUCE
Discoloration in produce may vary as well. For example, oranges may actually revert to a green color without affecting the quality of the orange or its juice.
![Page 59: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
FRESH PRODUCE
If produce items are pinched, squeezed or roughly handled, they will bruise and spoil more quickly.
Bruised produce can pose a hazard because the bruises provide a potential entry point for pathogens.
![Page 60: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
FRESH PRODUCE
Use smell and taste to help determine produce quality. Unpleasant odors will tell you when a product is not acceptable. With fruit, sometimes taste is the best test.
![Page 61: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
FRESH PRODUCE
In general, produce should not be washed before it is stored. While washing would not hurt leafy green items, many other products are likely to decay faster if washed before storage.
![Page 62: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
PREPACKAGED JUICE
The juice must be treated (e.g. pasteurized) to prevent, eliminate, or reduce pathogens or have a warning label.
![Page 63: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
REFRIGERATED READY-TO-EAT FOOD
More and more establishments are purchasing ready-to-eat food items, such as precut meats, salads containing TCS food and refrigerated entrees that only require heating.
![Page 64: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
CANNED FOOD Canned products seem to pose little
threat. Most have a fairly long shelf life and are usually used long before they have a chance to spoil.
However, canned products provide a good environment for the microorganism that causes botulism.
Always check cans for expired code dates and damage.
![Page 65: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA ARE GROUNDS FOR REJECTING CANNED PRODUCTS
Swollen Ends Leaks and flawed seals Rust Dents Missing Labels
![Page 66: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
CASE (WHAT WAS DONE INCORRECTLY?) On Monday, a large food delivery arrived at
the Sunnydale Nursing Home during the busy lunch hour. It included cases of frozen ground beef patties, canned vegetables, frozen shrimp, fresh tomatoes, a case of potatoes, and fresh chicken.
Betty, the new assistant manager, thought the best thing to do was to put everything away and check it later, since she was very busy. She told Ed, in charge of receiving, to sign for the delivery and put the food into storage.
![Page 67: The Flow of Food- Purchasing and Receiving](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061403/55cf91f8550346f57b924cd5/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
CASE (WHAT WAS DONE INCORRECTLY?) Ed asked her if it would be better to ask the
delivery driver to come back later. Since she needed the chicken for dinner, Betty asked Ed to accept the delivery now, and then she went back to the front of the house.
Ed put the frozen shrimp and ground beef patties in the freezer and the fresh chicken in the refrigerator. Then he put the fresh tomatoes, potatoes, and canned vegetables in dry storage. When he was finished, he went back to work in the kitchen.
