Comprehensive HACCP & Food Safety
Training
• Ensuring Safe Food Handling in Professional
Kitchens
Introduction to Food Safety
• - Prevents foodborne illnesses
• - Critical in professional kitchens
• - Covers hygiene, safe handling, and HACCP
principles
Personal Hygiene in the Kitchen
• - Wash hands frequently (20 sec)
• - Wear clean uniforms, aprons, hair restraints
• - Keep fingernails short and clean
• - Stay home when sick
• - Cover cuts with waterproof bandages
Safe Food Handling Practices
• - Use separate cutting boards for raw &
cooked foods
• - Thaw frozen food properly
• - Keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat
foods
• - Never store food on the floor
Understanding HACCP
• - HACCP = Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Points
• - A systematic approach to food safety
• - Identifies and controls food hazards
The 7 Principles of HACCP
• 1. Conduct a Hazard Analysis
• 2. Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs)
• 3. Establish Critical Limits
• 4. Establish Monitoring Procedures
• 5. Establish Corrective Actions
• 6. Establish Verification Procedures
• 7. Establish Record-Keeping & Documentation
Food Safety Hazards & Prevention
• - Biological: Bacteria, viruses, parasites
(Salmonella, E. coli)
• - Chemical: Pesticides, cleaning agents, food
toxins
• - Physical: Glass, metal, bones in food
Cross-Contamination Control
• - Use color-coded cutting boards
• - Store raw foods below cooked foods
• - Wash hands & sanitize surfaces between
tasks
Allergen Management
• - Common allergens: Peanuts, eggs, milk, soy,
fish, wheat
• - Label & store allergens separately
• - Prevent cross-contact
• - Train staff on allergy protocols
Cleaning and Sanitation
• 5 Steps of Cleaning:
• 1. Remove food debris
• 2. Wash with hot, soapy water
• 3. Rinse with clean water
• 4. Apply a food-safe sanitizer
• 5. Air dry before use
Temperature Control & Storage
• - Hot foods: Keep above 60°C (140°F)
• - Cold foods: Keep below 5°C (41°F)
• - Frozen foods: Store at -18°C (0°F) or lower
Record-Keeping & Compliance
• - Temperature logs for food storage & cooking
• - Cleaning & sanitation schedules
• - Food safety training records
• - Supplier delivery inspection logs
