4. All service equipment must be wiped dry with clean wiping clothes to protect
them from watermarks. The clothes used for this purpose must be
segregated from other wiping clothes. They may be identified by color coding.
7. Avoid touching the food and utensils with bare hands. Use scooper for
scooping ice; serving spoon and fork for dishing out foods.
8. When serving straw or napkin, never hold them with bare hands. To protect
them from bacterial contamination, either serves them with their wrappers
or in their respective dispensers.
10. The thumb should be kept away from the plate to avoid touching the sauce,
meat or dish.
11. When setting up flat-wares and glasses, avoid leaving finger marks on them
by carrying them in trays or with a cloth napkin.
12. Never serve food and cutleries that have fallen on the floor
14. Never serve utensils, cups, glasses or plates that are oily, wet or with
finger marks, spots or lipsticks. Remove them from the station and replace
them with clean ones. Use hot water to remove grease.
15. Air dry china wares after coming from the dishwasher
16. Do not stack dishes too high. Only chinawares can be stacked using
the decoy system. This means chinawares of the same kind and size should
be stacked together.
17. Avoid handling in bouquet. Hold footed glasses on the stem and high
ball glasses on the base.

20. Trays must be handled with the palm and not the fingers holding the
plate.

Learning Objective: After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
Practice avoidance of cross-contamination
Cross-contamination is the transfer of pathogenic (disease-causing)
microbes from contaminated foods (usually raw) to other foods, either directly or
indirectly. It is a major cause of food poisoning, but is easy to prevent.
Consider the following:
1. Always wash your hands before preparing food, and after handling raw
foods.
2. Wash hands, dishcloths, chopping boards or any kitchen utensil that has
been in contact with raw food because they are all high on the risk list for
cross-contamination.
3. Cover any cuts with waterproof bandages and do not prepare food for others
if you are sick or have a skin infection.
4. Remember that all raw foods are potential sources of contamination and
store them separately from ready-to-eat foods. For example, in the
refrigerator, store raw meat and poultry below other foods and put them on a
plate to prevent dripping. It makes no difference if the raw material is free-
range or organic. The risk is the just the same.
5. Never use the same utensils for preparing raw and cooked foods. This might
be easily overlooked when preparing a barbecue. Use separate utensils and
plates for raw and cooked meat.
6. Do not prepare salads on cutting boards that have been used for raw meat. It
is a good idea to have a cutting board that is used only for meat. Clean all
utensils thoroughly with hot water after use.
7. Cleanliness in general, is essential. Kitchen work surfaces should be
regularly cleaned with hot water and detergent and kept free of domestic
pets.
8. Dishcloths, tea towels, hand towels and aprons should also be washed
frequently at high temperature. After use, dry them quickly to prevent the
multiplication of any microbes present.
9. Floor cloths must obviously be kept separately, but maintained in the same
way.
10. Ideally, cutlery and crockery should be allowed to drain and dry naturally, or
by using a dishwasher.
11. Lastly, cleaning agents and other items that contain antibacterial agents may
be effective in limiting cross-contamination, but they are not completely
effective. They should be regarded as an additional barrier and not as a
foolproof safeguard.
TRUE OR FALSE. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is
incorrect and indicate your answer in the space provided for.
You can use the same utensils for preparing raw and cooked
3. foods.

Grooming
The related term personal grooming/grooming means to enhance one's
physical appearance or appeal for others, by removing obvious imperfections in
one's appearance or improving one's hygiene.
Grooming in humans typically includes bathroom activities such as
primping: washing and cleansing the hair, combing it to extract tangles and snarls,
and styling. It can also include cosmetic care of the body, such as shaving and
other forms of depilation.

Besure to wash your hands
before preparing food.
Kitchen towels, sponges
and cloths can harbor
bacteria. Wash them
often and replace
sponges every few
weeks.
Thawing Food

thermometer to
ensure that meat
and poultry are
cooked to the
appropriate
temperature.

ahead of time,
divide large
portions into
small, shallow
containers and
refrigerate.

temperature.
Freezer Storage
3. Keep freezer
doors closed.
Wash your hands with warm soapy water for 20 seconds (count to 30)
before you handle food or food utensils. Wash your hands after handling or
preparing food, especially after handling raw meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, or eggs.
Right after you prepare these raw foods, clean the utensils and surfaces you used
with hot soapy water. Replace cutting boards once they have become worn or
develop hard-to-clean grooves. Wash raw fruit and vegetables under running water
before eating. Use a vegetable brush to remove surface dirt if necessary. Always
wash your hands after using the bathroom, changing diapers, or playing with pets.
When Wash your hands with warm soapy water for 20 seconds (count to 30) before
you eating out, if the tables, dinnerware, and restrooms look dirty, the kitchen may
be, too — so you may want to eat somewhere else.
Keep raw meat, poultry, eggs, fish, and shellfish away from other foods,
surfaces, utensils, or serving plates. This prevents cross-contamination from one
food to another. Store raw meat, poultry, fish, and shellfish in containers in the
refrigerator so that the juices don't drip onto other foods.
Follow Read the label and follow safety instructions on the package such as "KEEP
REFRIGERATED" and the "SAFE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS."
Serve safely.
Keep hot foods hot (140º F or above) and cold foods cold (40º F or below).
Harmful bacteria can grow rapidly in the "danger zone" between these
temperatures. Whether raw or cooked, never leave meat, poultry, eggs, fish, or
shellfish out at room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour in hot weather
90º F or above). Be sure to chill leftovers as soon as your are finished eating. These
guidelines also apply to carry-out meals, restaurant leftovers, and home-packed
meals-to-go.
If you aren't sure that food has been prepared, served, or stored safely,
throw it out. You may not be able to make food safe if it has been handled in an
unsafe manner. For example, a food that has been left at room temperature too
long may contain a toxin produced by bacteria that can't be destroyed by cooking.
So if meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, or eggs have been left out for more than 2 hours,
or if the food has been kept in the refrigerator too long, don't taste it. Just throw it
out. Even if it looks and smells fine, it may not be safe to eat. If you have doubt
when you're shopping or eating out, choose something else.
TRUE OR FALSE. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is incorrect
and indicate your answer in the space provided for.
1. When shopping, buy perishable foods last, and take them straight

3. Place foods that are to be chilled in the freezer and chill foods that
are needed to be frozen.
4. Food storage should be dry, well ventilated and adequately lighted.
6. Foods which are held, cooled and reheated, has an increased risk
from contamination caused by personal, equipment, procedures
and other factors.
7. If meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, or eggs have been left out for more
than 5 hours, or if the food has been kept in the refrigerator too
long, taste it.
8. Don't eat raw or partially cooked eggs, or foods containing raw eggs,
raw (unpasteurized) milk, or cheeses made with raw milk. Choose
