Discussed proper hand washing, ware washing, food source, food storage, holding and cook temps, cooling when applicable, employee hygiene, employee health, demonstration of knowledge, and storage and use of of toxic items. Food Establishment Regulations can be found at http://publications.tnsosfiles.com/rules/1200/1200-23-01.20150716.pdf. Please be sure you and all food handling employees are familiar with these regulations.
