FOOD SAFETY & HYGIENE STANDARDS
➢ ALL FOOD PRODUCTION AND SERVICE PERSONNEL WILL FOLLOW PROPER HANDWASHING PRACTICES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF FOOD SERVED TO CUSTOMERS.
Procedure: ALL EMPLOYEES IN THE KITCHEN AND RESTAURANT SHOULD WASH HANDS USING THE FOLLOWING STEPS
1. Wash hands (including under the fingernails) and forearms vigorously and thoroughly with soap and warm water (water temperature should be at least 37 Celsius) for a period of 20 seconds.
2. Wash hands using soap from a soap dispenser. Lather at least 10 seconds.
3. Use a sanitary nail brush to remove dirt from under fingernails.
4. Wash between fingers thoroughly.
5. Use only hand sinks designated for that purpose. Do not wash hands in sinks in the production area.
6. Dry hands with single use towels or a mechanical hot dryer. (Retractable cloth towel dispenser systems are not recommended.) Turn off faucets using a paper towel in order to prevent recontamination of clean hands if foot pedals are not available.
The Chef in charge and the Restaurant manager will:
1. Monitor all employees to ensure that they are following proper procedures.
2. Ensure adequate supplies are available for proper handwashing.
3. Follow up as necessary.
