This includes ensuring that surfaces, utensils, and equipment are kept clean and sanitary; properly storing food items at correct temperatures and in containers closed tightly enough to prevent contamination; using separate cutting boards for meat and vegetables; enforcing proper glove use when handling ready-to-eat food items; utilizing chaffing dishes or heat packs in order to maintain the temp of prepared foods; separating raw materials from finished goods throughout preparation and service cycles; disposing of cooked meals within two hours if unable to refrigerate quickly after reaching 140°F; thoroughly washing all incoming shipments prior to use if receiving produce that must be handled without contaminants present before reaching their point of consumption.
