\nCOMPLETED TRAINING RECORD .......................................................................... 301  \nWelcome to Costco’s Food Safety Program  \nCostco believes that food safety is a priority, and all food products should be “Handled with Costco Care.” This means we have a responsibility to keep food at safe temperatures (hot food should be kept hot and cold food should be kept cold) . It also means that every Costco employee in a food area should always have clean hands. This requires proper hand washing.  \nCostco Care includes ensuring that food is purchased, received, stored, prepared and kept Costco Clean and Safe by adhering to Costco food safety policies and procedures. You, your friends and family, as well as our members, deserve the very best.  \nWHY? Because people can get sick if food sits at room temperature for extended periods of time and bacteria can begin to grow and multiply. “Clean” is not the same as “Safe,” yet the two should always go hand in hand. Your hands may look clean, but if microorganisms are present, they are not safe. Food can smell and taste good, but if dangerous bacteria are in the product, it is not safe.  \nEvery employee must learn how to prevent illness by using safe food-handling procedures. Your effort in practicing safe habits in your work environment will help keep everyone safe and healthy.  \nAfter reading the Level 1 Food Safety Certification Program handbook or reviewing the information on Costco Online University, and then passing the food safety quizzes located throughout the program, you will be officially Costco Food Safety certified. Costco Care consists of the following:  \n Preventing foodborne illness/food poisoning that could result in illness or death.  \n Keeping food at safe temperatures.  \n Preventing contamination of food products.  \n Being aware of product handling procedures prior to receiving product in your work area  \n Cleaning and sanitising your work areas often.  \nMember Service  \nOne of the most important services you will perform is to anticipate any potential problems that may threaten the well-being of our members. It is your responsibility to comply with all food safety guidelines. Most cases of foodborne illness are caused by food that has been:  \n exposed to unsafe temperatures  \n handled by infected food handlers who practice poor personal hygiene  \n exposed to cross-contamination  \nAs a Costco employee, you must realise that foodborne illness is preventable if the basic rules of food safety are routinely followed.  \nFOODBORNE ILLNESS PREVENTION MUST BE A GOAL FOR EVERYONE!  \nOur members, employees, managers, supervisors, shareholders and the community in general can benefi","cbCaibI1K2cpShjU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibI1K2cpShjU","pdf",1135509,"English","# Welcome to Costco’s Food Safety Program\n## Member Service\n## You: The Food Surgeon\n## Hand Washing\n## Food Temperatures\n## Food Storage\n## A Clean Workplace Is Safer\n## HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Program)\n## Let’s Review\n## Foodborne Illness Reference Charts\n## Glossary\n## Completed Training Record","[{\"question\":\"What does “Costco Care” require from employees?\",\"answer\":\"It requires keeping food at safe temperatures, ensuring clean hands through proper hand washing, and following Costco food safety policies and procedures for purchasing, receiving, storing, and preparing food.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is handling food at room temperature risky?\",\"answer\":\"People can get sick when food sits at room temperature for extended periods because bacteria can begin to grow and multiply.\"},{\"question\":\"When must employees wash their hands according to the handbook?\",\"answer\":\"Employees must wash hands before starting work and before touching items used to prepare food, and after handling raw meat/fish/poultry, the trash, using the restroom, eating, touching the face or hair, and coughing or sneezing.\"}]","Food Safety Program - Level 1 - Handbook | PDF",1790553993,76]
