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 toxic items. Food Establishment Regulations can be found at https://publications.tnsosfiles.com/rules/1200/1200-23/1200-23-01.20150716.pdf. Please be sure you and all food handling employees are familiar with these regulations. Guidance/Educational documents can be found at https://www.tn.gov/health/health-program-areas/eh/eh-foodlaw.html. These are an excellent resource to help reduce the risk of a food borne illness. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
