Violations are given out if any of these foods are at unsafe temperatures during the allotted amount of time.  \nTCS foods, including milk and dairy products, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, can become unsafe when kept at certain temperatures for a specific amount of time. As a rule of thumb, TCS food should never fall into what is known as the temperature danger zone, the temperature range between 41°Fand 135°F (5°C and 57°C) . These temperatures create the perfect environment for pathogens to grow on food surfaces.  \nManagers should ensure all food handlers follow critical time and temperature control procedures including, but not limited to:  \nUnderstanding which food items should be checked and how often  \nRecording temperatures regularly and keeping a written record of when the temperatures were taken  \nPutting thermometer stems or probes into the thickest part of the food  \nCleaning and sanitizing and calibrating thermometers regularly  \nLimiting the time food spendsin the temperature danger zone (e.g., limiting the amount of food that can be removed from a cooler when prepping)  \nFollowing procedures for when time and temperature standards are not met  \n[foodsafetyfocus.com |](foodsafetyfocus.com | 2)[ 2](foodsafetyfocus.com | 2)  \nFood Storage  \nProper food storage is vital for keeping food safe and preventing cross-contamination. During an inspection, the inspector will look for proper food storage practices like labeling foods with use-by dates, using proper food-grade storage containers, and checking to see if ready-to-eat food has been stored above raw food. Common violations occur when raw and ready-to-eat foods are being stored improperly.  \nCross-contamination can occur when one food item touches or drips onto another food item during storage. For this reason, it’s best to separate all raw and ready-to-eat food items into their own designated areas. If this isn’t possible, use the following top-tobottom order when storing food:  \n1 Ready-to-eat food  \n2 Seafood  \n3 Whole cuts of beef and pork  \n4 Ground meat and ground fish  \n5 Whole and ground poultry  \nPersonal Hygiene  \nProper food storage is vital for keeping food safe and preventing crosscontamination. During an inspection, the inspector will look for proper food storage practices like labeling foods with use-by dates, using proper food-grade storage containers, and checking to see if ready-to-eat food has been stored above raw food. Common violations occur when raw and ready-to-eat foods are being stored improperly.  \nThe inspector will look for signs of illness among your staff, including persistent sneezing, coughing, or a runny nose that is associated with discharges from the eyes, nose, or mouth. Managers must also watch for these signs and exclude employees who have the following symptoms: vomiting, diarrhea, or jaundice (a yellowing of the skin or eyes) . Follow these guidelines for handling sick employees:  \nRequire staff to report illnesses before they come to work and let you know immediately if they get sick while working.  \nSend employees home immediately if they feel sick and ensure they STAY HOME until fully recovered or cleared for work by a doctor.  \nDiscard all food items touched by sick empl","cbCaibvZq7gMaG9U","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibvZq7gMaG9U","pdf",5798540,"English","# Most Common Health Code Violations\n## Time and Temperature\n## Food Storage\n## Personal Hygiene\n## Must-Have Policies and Procedures\n### Food Temperature Control\n### Food Preparation","[{\"question\":\"What time-and-temperature rules matter most during a health inspection?\",\"answer\":\"Inspectors check TCS foods against unsafe temperature ranges and time limits.
