Detailed explanation-1: -Pests carry microorganisms that can contaminate food and food contact surfaces. Pest control is only the manager’s responsibility. Pest control includes tight sealing, self-closing exterior doors. Rodents, insects, and birds are considered pests.
Detailed explanation-2: -Foodborne illnesses are spread by pests as they pick up germs crawling across sewage, garbage, decaying matter and other filth, and then transfer these germs – along with their shed skins and fecal droppings – onto foods and food surfaces.
Detailed explanation-3: -Employees should wash hands in the nearest prep sink. A plain ring, such as a wedding band, is the only jewelry alowed on hands and arms while perparing or serving food. Employee hands must be scrubbed vigorously when handwashing.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sanitizing reduces the number of hazardous bacteria on a surface to levels that are considered safe by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). You must sanitize after cleaning. Cleaning removes soils, but it does not kill germs. The best way to ensure you are removing all germs is to use a food grade sanitizer.
