This document discusses the risks involved with providing off-site foodservice for events as an independent restaurant or foodservice operator. It describes common food safety violations seen at such events, like transporting food outside safe temperature ranges or without temperature control, lack of equipment to properly cook, hold, and serve food, and inadequate handwashing facilities. It stresses that operators must have a formal off-site food safety management plan to safely prepare, transport, hold, and serve food at an off-site event, as the standards are more stringent than a fixed restaurant location. The plan should document food temperatures, time and temperature control, cleaning and sanitation procedures, and staff hygiene practices.
The document discusses National Food Safety Month in September 2017. It is organized by weekly themes: Week 1 introduces the five most common food safety risk factors; Week 2 focuses on proper handwashing techniques; Week 3 discusses the importance of food safety training for all employees. Key points include controlling food temperatures, preventing cross-contamination, practicing good hygiene, and establishing a culture of food safety through training and monitoring correct procedures.
This study evaluated food handling practices and potential sources of cross contamination in four types of foodservice operations. Researchers observed practices, tested mitigation strategies, and measured temperatures and sanitizer concentrations over time. Key findings included sources of cross contamination during receiving, preparing, and serving foods. Educational strategies focused on handwashing, cleaning/sanitizing, and cold temperature maintenance. Food safety practice scores improved for all sectors after the interventions.
This document outlines hygiene policies and procedures for food handling and preparation. It discusses requirements for formulating hygiene policies, identifying hazards, and complying with food safety legislation. Specific policies are presented for supplier selection, personal hygiene, cleaning, storage, handling and serving food, waste disposal, pest control, staff facilities, training, and quality management. The goal is to ensure food safety and maintain hygienic standards required by law.
This document outlines different work schedules and roles for food preparation and service. It divides tasks into groups of marketers, cooks, dishwashers, tool keepers, and house keepers. It then describes the responsibilities of personnel in food service organizations including the manager, assistant manager, head chef and cooks, and dietician. It also discusses different systems for storing and transporting ready-to-serve food, such as on-site preparation, bulk satellite, hinged tray, and cold-pack systems.
This document provides an overview of the history and development of the food service industry. It discusses how quantity cookery originated over 1000 years ago to feed large groups. In the 18th century in France, food production was controlled by guilds that licensed specific food items. The first restaurant opened in Paris in 1765 called "restaurants" that served restorative soups. The French Revolution led to the proliferation of restaurants as chefs went into business for themselves. Over time, French cuisine became more elaborate and consisted of many courses, known as Grande Cuisine. Notable chefs like Careme and Escoffier further refined and codified culinary techniques. The document also discusses types of kitchens, kitchen brigade systems,
The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system was developed to ensure food safety for astronauts and prevent foodborne illness. It is a structured approach used to identify and control food safety hazards during all stages of food production from farm to table. The HACCP system involves identifying critical control points during food handling and processing, establishing standards to control risks, monitoring procedures, and corrective actions to ensure food is safe for consumption.

48 RESTAURANT HOSPITALITY OCTOBER 2015
I
HAVE BEEN professionally involved
in sporting events where thousands
of meals were served in permanent
facilities, such as football stadiums,
and in temporary facilities created for
a major golf tournament. These experi-
ences have provided a unique oppor-
tunity to compare the food safety tech-
niques of contract feeders accustomed to
working in a high-volume environment to
independent foodservice operators who
occasionally take part in off-site events.
Typically, independent restaurants prepare food in
their existing kitchens and transport it to an event, or
they transport raw food product and cook at the event.
Simple enough, right? In fact, far too many fail to show
an adequate understanding of the risks involved in pro-
viding off-site foodservice. In many cases, if I had been a
local health department official, much of the food deliv-
ered and prepared at these events would not have been
allowed into the various venues.
Some of the more extreme examples have included:
• Transporting food in vehicles without temperature
control. Sushi delivered in the back of a van at 75°F to a
reception is not acceptable.
• Delivering food within the temperature danger zone
(41°-135°F), with no record of how long it had been at
that temperature. Raw or cooked chicken delivered at
60°F is not acceptable. A cooked, pulled pork product
delivered at 90°F is not acceptable.
• Delivering raw and ready-to-eat food with no equip-
ment other than chafing dishes and Sterno. Chafing
dishes warmed by Sterno cans, are approved for hot-

holding only and not for reheating.
• Many foodservice operators set up shop at an off-
site location without being properly equipped to clean
and sanitize food contact surfaces during the event.
Cross-contamination from unclean surfaces to food,
according to FDA, is one of the five major contributing
factors to the occurrence of foodborne illness. Without
an adequate supply of cleaning materials and sanitizer,
there is no way to properly protect against cross-
contamination. You must be able to clean and sanitize
food-contact surfaces as they become soiled.
• A lack of available hand-washing facilities, food
handlers without hair restraints and an inadequate
supply of food-grade disposable gloves or utensils to
handle food are other frequent violations.
I’ve seen these bad practices in different parts of the
country, which leads me to believe the behavior de-
scribed represents a general misunderstanding of food
safety rgulations. What should you do?
If you have made the decision to have an off-site cater-
ing component of your business, you need to have an
off-site food safety management plan (FSMP). Recognize
that to have an effective off-site food safety plan, you
must first have an effective on-site FSMP.
The off-site plan needs to take into account the dif-
ferences between preparing meals in your kitchen for
customers sitting in your dining room and preparing

meals for customers who are in a remote location miles
away. The plan also needs to recognize that the funda-
mentals of food safety are not somehow magically sus-
pended because you are taking food to another location.
In fact, there are additional rules and procedures to take
into account.
The plan: Make sure you have an on-site food safety
management plan to keep food safe up to the moment it
leaves your primary facility.
The off-site food safety management plan:
• Document the condition of the food when it leaves the
building. If it leaves the building in an unsafe condition you
are not going to fix it when you arrive at your destination.
• Document the condition of the food when it arrives.
• Document how long the food is held and displayed.
• Document what is done with the food that is not con-
sumed within predefined time periods.
Transportation:
If you are transporting food that must be temperature
controlled while in transit, use a temperature-controlled
vehicle or individual temperature-controlled containers.
At the site:
• How will you hold the hot and cold food at the site?
• How will you cook and/or reheat the food at the site?
Food handler personal hygiene:
• What steps are you taking to make sure the proper
personal hygiene procedures are followed?
• Will you ensure that there is no bare-handed contact
with ready-to-eat foods?
• Will there be proper hand-washing at the proper times?
• Is there an adequate supply of gloves, hair restraints
and utensils for the food handlers?
Cleaning and sanitizing:
• Even if the bulk of the cleaning and sanitizing will be
done when you get back to your home base, you must be
prepared to deal with basic cleaning and sanitizing needs
as you are holding, preparing and serving food.
