How to check the temperature of Other Packaged Food. | Open the package and insert the thermometer stem or probe into the food |
Temperature Criteria for Deliveries | Cold TCS food: Receive at 41°F (5°C) or lower, unless otherwise specified. Live shellfish: Receive oysters, mussels, clams, and scallops at an air temperature of 45°F (7°C) and an internal temperature no greater than 50°F (10°C). |
Shucked shellfish: | Receive at 45°F (7°C) or lower. Cool the shellfish to 41°F (5°C) or lower in four hours. |
Temperature Criteria for Deliveries | Shell eggs: Receive at an air temperature of 45°F (7°C) or lower. Milk: Receive at 45°F (7°C) or lower Cool the milk to 41°F (5°C) or lower in four hours. |
Temperature Criteria for Deliveries: continued | Hot TCS food: Receive at 135°F (57°C) or higher. Frozen food: Receive frozen solid. |
Temperature Criteria for Deliveries: continued | Reject frozen food if there is evidence of thawing and refreezing: Fluids or water stains in case bottoms or on packaging Ice crystals or frozen liquids on the food or packaging |

Required Documents: continued | Fish that will be eaten raw or partially cooked Documentation must show the fish was correctly frozen before being received. Keep documents for 90 days from the sale of the fish. |
Required Documents: continued | Farm raised fish Must have documentation stating the fish was raised to FDA standards. Keep documents for 90 days from the sale of the fish |
Assessing Food Quality: | Appearance: Reject food that is moldy or has an abnormal color. Texture: Reject meat, fish, or poultry if: It is slimy, sticky, or dry It has soft flesh that leaves an imprint when touched |
Labeling Food for Use On-site | All items not in their original containers must be labeled Food labels should include the common name of the food or a statement that clearly and accurately identifies it |
Labeling Food Packaged On-site for Retail Sale | Common name of the food or a statement clearly identifying it. Quantity of the food. If the item contains two or more ingredients, list the ingredients in descending order by weight. |
Labeling Food Packaged On-site for Retail Sale | List of artificial colors and flavors in the food including chemical preservatives Name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor. Source of each major food allergen contained in the food. |
Check the Date marking | Ready-to-eat TCS food must be marked if held for longer than 24 hours. Date mark must indicate when the food must be sold, eaten, or thrown out. |
Date Marking : continued | Ready-to-eat TCS food can be stored for only seven days if it is held at 41°F (5°C) or lower The count begins on the day that the food was prepared or a commercial container was opened |
Date Marking :continued | For example, potato salad prepared and stored on October 1 would have a discard date of October 7 on the label Some operations write the day or date the food was prepared on the label. Others write the use-by day or date on the label. |
Date marking :continued | If: A commercially processed food has a use-by date that is less than seven days from the date the container was opened. Then: The container should be marked with this use-by date As long as the date is based on food safety |
Date marking: continued | When combining food in a dish with different use-by dates, the discard date of the dish should be based on the earliest prepared food Consider a shrimp and sausage jambalaya prepared on December 4. |
Temperatures | Store TCS food at an internal temperature of 41°F (5°C) or lower or 135°F (57°C) or higher. Make sure storage units have at least one air temperature measuring device. It must be accurate to +/- 3°F or +/- 1.5°C. |
Temperatures continued | Do not overload coolers or freezers Frequent opening of the cooler lets warm air inside, which can affect food safety Use open shelving Monitor food temperatures regularly |
Rotate food to use the oldest inventory first | One way to rotate products is to follow FIFO: Identify the food item’s use-by or expiration date Store items with the earliest use-by or expiration dates in front of items with later dates |
How to prevent Cross Contamination: | Store all items in designated storage areas. Store items away from walls and at least six inches (15 centimeters) off the floor Store single-use items (e.g., sleeve of single-use cups, single-use gloves) in original packaging. |
Preventing Cross Contamination: continued | Store food in durable containers intended for food. Use containers that are durable, leak proof, and able to be sealed or covered. Never use empty food containers to store chemicals. Never put food in empty chemical containers. |
Preventing Cross Contamination: continued | Keep all storage areas clean and dry Clean up spills and leaks right away Clean dollies, carts, transporters, and trays often Store food in containers that have been cleaned and sanitized |
Preventing Cross Contamination: continued | Wrap or cover food Store raw meat, poultry, and seafood separately from ready-to-eat food |
Preventing Cross Contamination: continued | Store food items in the following top-to-bottom order: Ready-to-eat food Seafood Whole cuts of beef and pork Ground meat and ground fish Whole and ground poultry |
Food should be stored in a clean, dry location away from dust and other contaminants | To prevent contamination, NEVER store food in these areas. Locker rooms or dressing rooms Restroom or garbage rooms Mechanical rooms Under unshielded sewer lines or leaking water lines Under stairwells |
