Let's talk about cleaning and sanitizing
to prevent cross contamination in your cooking area.
Cleaning and sanitizing are a little different,
but hold equal and critical importance when working
at Bizeats.
Cleaning and sanitizing the surface
removes filth and bacteria, and is
critical to preventing food borne illness caused
by cross contamination.
So when should you clean and sanitize food prep surfaces?
The answers are when working with raw meat,
when switching from one food to another,
when switching tasks, after a break,
and after four hours of use.
Within four hours, food borne bacteria
can multiply exponentially.
Always clean and sanitize surfaces any time
you think that food contact surfaces have become
contaminated. When sanitizing, use either chemicals or very
hot water to kill pathogens that remain after cleaning.
When you're done sanitizing, items must be air dried.
We don't want to re-contaminate them by drying them
with a cloth or paper towel.
By using these methods, you're keeping our customers
and our company safe from food borne illness.
If you notice employees who aren't cleaning and sanitizing
safely, have them review these instructions to maintain
a safe workplace.
