Question 24: Identify the correct statements relating to the use and the legal requirements for food thermometers:
(Tick the correct answers)

In order to correctly determine the internal temperature of a food item, a laser


thermometer must be used.
Upon delivery the surface temperature equals the internal temperature, so measuring the False
outside is sufficient and more hygienic.
The probe thermometer must be accurate within 1°C, meaning that if the internal True
temperature is 4°C, the thermometer must display a temperature between 3°C and 5°C.
A thermometer can be calibrated by placing the probe in a container of barely-melted ice. True

returned to a supplier? Connect the appropriate procedure to the relevant action:

Food is subject to recall Food items may become contaminated with


microorganisms or physical contaminants; become
damaged; or deteriorate in quality

Food has been returned It is essential that these are stored, displayed and packaged
appropriately. For example, serviette and straw dispensers
should be used to prevent customers touching more than 1
item at a time. These must not be reused and torn or
damaged items must never be given out.

Food is not safe to eat This can occur when the manufacturer has identified
dangerous levels of pathogens or contaminants; faulty
packaging or incorrect labelling; or incorrect processing

Food is suspected of You might suspect that food is unsafe, even though you are
not being safe to eat not sure. For example, the food may have stayed in the
danger zone for too long. Although you cannot tell if the
food is unsafe, you can assume it is unsafe and therefore
dispose of it. If in doubt, throw it out!

Whenever single – use You might suspect that food is unsafe, even though you are
items are available not sure. For example, the food may have stayed in the
danger zone for too long. Although you cannot tell if the
food is unsafe, you can assume it is unsafe and therefore
dispose of it. If in doubt, throw it out!

Destroying or disposing A customer or business that has purchased food from you
of food so it is not may return items due to a fault, e.g. torn packaging or
usable for human contamination
consumption

Cooked rice and pasta True

Question 27: When cleaning utensils which come in direct contact with customers, the following aspects need to be
considered to prevent food safety issues:
(Tick the correct answers)
All cutlery, crockery and glasses need to be cleaned and polished. You should double check True
that there is no food residue, airborne dust or lipstick left on the items.
To remove slight smears you may blow into the glass when polishing it.
Never put your fingers on the rim, as this can transfer bacteria to customers’ lips. True
Crockery and glasses need to be washed and free of any chips or cracks, as these can trap True
food residue, which could contaminate food.
You also need to clean all small and large equipment, especially in hard to reach places. True
Items like blenders can develop mould or bacteria if not cleaned properly.
It is important to identify and report any maintenance or equipment cleaning needs that True
you cannot immediately handle yourself.
If equipment is broken or does not meet food safety requirements for some reason it must
be discarded.

Question 28: The following aspects must be considered when handling and preparing foods to avoid allergic
reactions through allergens in customers: (Tick the correct answers)
Food allergies occur when someone reacts badly to a particular type of food. True
Allergic reactions to nuts are common and severe enough for labelling requirements to be True
put in place for all foods that may have been in contact with nuts.
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can involve swelling and possibly closing of the True
throat, swelling and rash on the face, restricted breathing and low blood pressure.
Anaphylaxis can be caused by many different allergens and can have very severe True
consequences including unconsciousness and even death.
It is essential that you take this matter seriously as an allergic reaction may result in death! True
If you are unsure whether you can meet a customer’s request, it is bet to refuse to cater for True
their need.
If you are unsure of what would constitute a “safe” menu choice, always consult with a
dietitian or other dietary expert.
Many customers with health issues may have a list that specifies what ingredients they can True
and cannot have.
