Important Notes From TargetYou are required to stay for the entire duration of the class. Missing a portion of the class (ex. for a conference call) is not acceptable and the trainer will not allow you to sit for the exam.
Cell phone use (including texting and emailing) is not permitted during the class or exam. Cell phones must be turned off (not just turned to silent).
This program is designed to inform and enhance your knowledge of food safety as a Target team member.
Trainers are experts in Food Safety practices set forth by the FDA food code. Target specific (process oriented) questions should be saved and directed back to your FBP/GML.
While the program will prepare you to successfully take the National Registry Food Safety Manager Certification exam, there may be some questions on the exam we will not specifically cover during the classroom instruction.
Remember: most of food safety is common sense. Along with the information you will learn today, you will do great!!
6
1. To review critical food safety regulations and best practices, primarily those in the FDA Model Food Code
2. To pass an exam and become a Certified Food Manager
This course is designed to help you pass the National Registry Exam.
National Registry Exam Questions are sealed, instructor has no prior knowledge to test questions you will receive today.
There may be questions that you get that are not in the training today; make educated guesses (and stay calm).
Please remove one of the blank temperature charts from back of your manual to use throughout the day. See example on next slide.

9
Why Study Food Safety?
1. To Protect our guests Illness, Injury or Death
2. To Protect our team members Illness or Injury Lost work time
3. To Protect our Brand Lawsuits Lost Reputation Lost Sales
4. Legal Compliance
10
Legal Compliance
Many States have adopted FDA’s FOOD CODE that requires each facility to have a person in charge (PIC)
The PIC must be able to demonstrate food safety knowledge and is responsible for food safety in the facility
The PIC can demonstrate his/her knowledge by attending and passing an accredited Food Safety Certification Training Course -- like this one
11
• Young Children• Pregnant Women• Diabetics• Ulcer Patients
• Elderly• Cancer Patients• Immune-Compromised• Kidney Dialysis Patients
High Risk Groups
12
Tracing the Sources of Foodborne Illness
The source of most foodborne illness is unknown –
Out of those that have been identified:61% ate food prepared by foodservice 32% ate food prepared at home7% ate food commercially prepared (packaged potato salad,
chicken salad, deli meats, franks, etc.)

13
Target Team Members
Team members are Target’s greatest assets
Untrained and unsafe team members are our greatest liability
Most problems in an unsafe kitchen are caused by poorly trained or unsupervised team members
Unawareness is a major contributor to foodborne illness
14
SummaryFood safety affects everyone because
everybody eats food
During its journey from farm to fork, food must be protected from contamination
There are policies, practices and procedures that are used to keep food safe
In the next sessions, we will discuss in more detail how these can be used to prevent foodborne illness

Section 1
16
DefinitionsFoodborne illness:When a person gets sick from eating contaminated food
Foodborne illness outbreak:When two or more people, not related, become ill with similar symptoms from eating a common food and cause is confirmed with laboratory testing
Potentially Hazardous Foods (PHF) also known as High Risk Foods (HRF):Food that supports the survival and/or growth of pathogenic organisms
17
DefinitionsTime and Temperature Control for Safety (TCS)Also know as Time/Temperature Control Foods (TTCF):Foods that require time and temperature control in order to keep them food safe
United State Department of Agriculture (USDA):Regulates poultry, meat processing, and raw foods
Food and Drug Administration (FDA):Regulates foods (except meat, poultry, and some eggs)
18
Definitions
Model Food Code:A set of recommended definitions and standards from the FDA. The purpose of this “code” is to safeguard public health and to provide to consumers food that is safe, unadulterated, and honestly presented.
The Food Code is updated every 4 years. The current version was updated in 2009.
19
Jurisdictional Structure
The Food Code is made law at the State level. Additional regulations can be added at both the state and local level.

Part 1Biological Growth Conditions
How bacteria grow
FATTOM
Potentially Hazardous Foods (TCS)
21
Microbial Multiplication
Bacteria reproduce by dividing
BILLIONS
Colonies may be visible to the naked eye after growing for 10-12 hours
Cells cannot be seen with the naked eye
20 min. 40 min. 1 hr. 4 hrs. 10-12 hrs.
Enough cells to cause foodborne illness
Under ideal conditions, bacteria multiply (double) every 20 minutes.
22
Factors for Microbial Growth
F FoodA Acidity (pH)T TimeT TemperatureO OxygenM Moisture
23
F = Food
Microbes require nutrients, particularly proteins, to survive and grow in foods
Bacteria like foods that are high in protein (dairy, meats)
Growth begins to slow down as nutrients are depleted and waste products build up
24
A = Acidity
Acidic Basic1.0 7.0 14.0
4.6 pH 2.0 – 2.1
Baking Soda pH 8.1- 9.0
Raw Chicken and Meats pH 5.5-6.4
Egg yolkspH 6.0-6.3
NeutralSoda
pH 2.0 – 2.5
The pH Scale
KetchuppH 3.9
25
A = Acidity
To increase Acidity, lower pH:
Add vinegar............................ Marinate (sushi
rice)
Add lemon or lime juice.......... Dressings
Ferment ................................. Beer, wine
26
T= Temperature
135ºF (57ºC)
41ºF (5ºC)
Bacteria survive and grow
Cook and hold hot foods above 135ºF (57ºC)
Store and hold cold foods below 41ºF (5ºC)
27
T= TimeTime and temperature work together
Bacteria can double every 20 minutes with ideal temperatures
In four hours there are enough bacteria to cause illness
The TOTAL time food is in the TDZ can not be more than four hours
If unsure how long food has been in the TDZ, throw it away!
28
T+T = Time + TemperatureWhat can you do?
Monitor and control temperatures• Check food (receiving, cooking)• Holding units (hot holding, coolers, freezers)
Store food quickly • Upon receipt, after using
Make sure equipment functioning properlyKeep food out of Temperature Danger Zone
• The TOTAL time food is in the TDZ can not be more than 4 hours
Controlling the time that food is in the Temperature Danger Zone is critical to food safety
29
O= Oxygen
Different bacteria have different oxygen requirementsfor growth: Aerobic – must have oxygen to grow Anaerobic – can not survive in oxygen
Danger in vacuum packaged and sealed (canned) foods Facultative anaerobe – can grow with or without oxygen
most foodborne, disease-causing bacteria fall into this category
Controlling oxygen content alone is not an effectivebarrier
Some bacteria will always find conditions right for growthMust be used in combination with other factors to be effective
30
M = Moisture
Water Activity (Aw or aw):The amount of moisture available to bacteria to support their growth
High Risk Food’s are high in moisture (Aw > 0.85)
No growth of pathogens Growth of pathogens
0.0 1.0
Threshold Value = 0.85 Pure H2OPure Oil
31
Reduce water activity below thresholdvalue of 0.85 by:
- Add sugar
- Add salt
- Dehydrate food
- Freeze food
M = Moisture
32
Potentially Hazardous Foods (TCS)
Milk and Milk Products
Eggs and Egg Products
Meat and Poultry
Fish
Sushi
Shellfish
Leafy Greens
Sliced Tomatoes
33
Potentially Hazardous Foods (TCS)
Tofu
Cooked Rice & Beans
Baked Potatoes
Cut Melons
continued…
34
Bacterial growth depends on FATTOM foods that have all the requirements of FATTOM
are potentially hazardous foods (TCS)
Water activity and pH can be used asEffective barriers to bacterial growth Only need one barrier (either water activity or pH)
to prevent bacterial growth or make food non-hazardous.
Water Activity and pH along with Temperature and Time play a key role in maintaining the safety of potentially hazardous foods (TCS)

Potentially Hazardous Food (TCS):Sushi
Approved Suppliers Do not accept from unapproved suppliers
Verify products being served raw complies with regulations and Target policy Especially fish – must comply with freezing
requirements Acidified rice protects from bacteria – low pH
bacteria don’t survive (FATTOM)
Target responsibility to ensure compliance Monitor and verify food safety processes Follow cleaning and hygiene procedures Keep pH log – review weekly Acidify rice to pH <4.6

Target Temperature Danger Zone
89
Temperature Danger ZoneFood must go through Temperature Danger Zone at certain times:
• Preparation• Cooking• Cooling• Reheating
Must minimize Time in Temperature Danger Zone to keep food safe
• Total for food in TDZ is less than 4 hours
90
Checking TemperaturesTemperature of food is critical Maintaining proper temperatures is essential to food
safety Must know when and how to measure temperature Keep required logs of temperatures
Temperature measuring devices: Thermometers
Dial or bimetallic Digital (lollipop) Infrared (IR) – not to be used at Target
Thermocouples QuickCheck
T-Stick Disposable; Single Use Temperature Device Made for a specific product/specific temperature range
Understanding the use and care of thermometers is an important part of keeping food safe
91
Calibrating a Dial Thermometer
Range Oº- 22OºF (-18ºC - +104ºC)
Calibrate in ice at 32º +2ºF
Or boiling water at sea level 212ºF (100ºC).
Most thermocouple and digital thermometers can not be calibrated – but accuracy should be verified and documented daily.
92
Plenty of ice -Very little water
Calibrating a Thermometer
93
Checking Thermometers For Accuracy
When it is NEW – before first use
If DROPPED – on floor or other surface
DAILY – at a minimum (Target Standard) Food Code only requires Weekly calibration
RE-CALIBRATE – when reading is off by more than 2F (1C)If digital or thermocouple, change batteries and test
again
Calibrate Thermometers…
94
Checking Food Temperatures
1. Clean and sanitize thermometer probe2. Insert probe into the thickest part of
the food (thermal center)3. Allow temperature reading to stabilize4. Read and record temperature of food5. Remove probe6. Clean and sanitize before storing or
taking another temperature
95
Taking TemperaturesDifferent types of foods and packages requiredifferent techniques:
Open foods: insert probe directly into food
Pre-packaged product: wrap around probe or sandwich between two packages
Shell eggs: break open egg into container and measure directly
Frozen products: sandwich between two packages or wrap package around probe
96
ContaminationThe presence of harmful substances (glass, chemicals, etc) or harmful microorganisms in food.
Cross-ContaminationThe transfer of harmful microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, etc.) from one food to another by means of either a nonfood surface such as utensils, equipment, or human hand or directly from one food to another.
97
Cross-Contamination Examples
Raw food over cookedRaw / Cooked on same cutting boardUsing raw food in a cooked foodPlacing cooked food on surface after raw products (i.e. chicken strips)Unclean equipment, food prep tables and utensilsDirty Team member handsDirty cutting boardsTouching garbage then the foodUnclean work clothesUnsanitary wipe cloths
98
Barriers to ContaminationClean and sanitized between preparing different foods
especially when handling raw and ready-to-eat products
Eliminate bare hand contact when handling ready-to-eat foods by the use of additional barriers such as gloves, tongs, utensils etc.
Properly store foods to prevent possible contamination between uses
Wash hands often
99
Using Gloves: Precautions
Food handling gloves are single use only. Always wash hands before putting on gloves.
Gloves and hand sanitizers are considered additional barriers and are NOT substitutes for hand washing. Frequent, thorough hand washing is our MOST effective defense against the spread of disease.
Gloves can provide a false sense of security and safety. Gloves should be worn for handling ready-to-eat foods or when the use of some other additional barriers, such as utensils, tongs, deli paper, etc, are not practical.
100
Target Best Practices: GlovesGloves should be worn for handling any RTE food: Pizza preparation and serving Slicing and chopping fresh fruits and vegetables Combining ingredients for salad mix and coleslaw Portioning salads Cutting rotisserie chicken for chicken salad, etc Slicing and portioning RTE meats and cheeses
Team members must change gloves:When beginning a new taskIf interrupted from a single taskIf gloves are heavily soiledAfter four hours of continuous use
Use only non-latex, vinyl gloves for handling foods.
101
Personal HygienePracticing good personal hygiene is critical to
minimizing the risk of contaminating food which could cause a foodborne illness
InjuriesAny wound or infected sore must be covered with clean dry, blue bandage (Staph. aureus)
Single-use vinyl glove must cover any bandages on hands.
102
Employee HealthExcluding or Restricting employees from working with food depends on level of risk in transmitting pathogens through food: Type of population being served (HSP vs general) Specific pathogens involved Symptoms and/or diagnosis of illness Time since symptoms resolved
DefinitionsExclude – prevent from working as an employee in a food establishment or entering a food establishment as an employee
Restrict – limit activities so there is no risk of transmitting disease and that the employee does not work with exposed food, clean equipment, utensils, linens, or unwrapped single service items
103
In general, exclude employees that have:Diagnosed with reported diseases
Hepatitis A virus Enterohemorrhagic or Shiga-
toxin E. coli (EHEC) Norovirus Shigella Salmonella
Active gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting)Jaundice
In general population, restrict employees that have:•Infected cuts or wounds•Diagnosed but asymptomatic with EHEC, Shigella or Norovirus•Exposed to one of the listed pathogens •Sore throat with fever
If highly susceptible persons are being served, exclude employee for all above except for infected cuts or wounds
Employee Health
If diagnosed with any of these diseases, you must be cleared by a medical provider and provide a doctor’s note in order to return to work.
104
Requirements affect both Team Members and Supervisors:Health regulations require team members working with
food to notify a supervisor if they have any of the following health symptoms: Diarrhea Vomiting Jaundice (yellowish eye color) Lesions with pus (boils or infected wounds)
If a Team member has been diagnosed with one of the following infections, the team member must be excluded from working within any area of the store: E. coli 0157:H7 Salmonella Shigella Hepatitis A Norovirus
Target Health Policy
105
Target Health Policy Form
All team members in SuperTarget and PFresh locations are required to sign this form.
Team members working in food areas in a GM store are required to sign this form.
106
Personal Habits No smoking, eating or drinking except in team
member break room

167
HACCP
A proactive food protection program
Put in place to ensure the safety of foods as they flow through an establishment and minimize the risk of having any unsafe foods served to guests or team members
168
HACCPHazard - A biological, chemical or physical agent
that is reasonably likely to cause illness or injury if not controlled.
Analysis - The process of collecting and evaluating information on hazards to determine which are significant and must be included in a HACCP plan
Critical Control Point - The step in the process at which you would prevent, eliminate or control the hazard.
169
Prerequisites to HACCPThese programs must be in place before implementing
HACCP:
Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures
Good Retail Practices
Chemical Control Program
Pest Control Program
Trace and Recall Program
Guest Complaint Program
Allergen Control Program
170
7 Principles of HACCP1. Perform a hazard analysis2. Decide on the CCPs3. Determine the critical limits4. Monitor CCPs 5. Conduct corrective actions6. Verification that processes are working 7. Maintain record keeping system
Important: record logs (temperature, food prep) must be kept for 2 years
171
HACCP and Food SafetyHACCP focuses directly on the safety of food
Any process, environment or item is evaluated for its impact on the food
Primary objective is keeping food safe and free from contamination
Identifies potential hazards that directly effect foodLess emphasis on cleanliness of facilityGreater emphasis on procedures, process and
materials that directly contact food

219
General Facility
Food facilities have three distinct areas:Exterior premisesGuest areasFood handling areas
Each plays important part in:Food safetyGuest experienceCommunity relations
220
Facility Exterior - Grounds
Grounds should be kept clean and free of litter
Keep landscaping/green spaces neat and tidyLooks good and minimizes pest harborage
Parking lot, walks clean and unobstructedConcrete, asphalt surfaces are easier to
clean than gravel or dirtMaintain signage and keep in good repair
221
Facility Exterior – BuildingExterior of building should be clean and
maintained
Repair cracks, holes in exterior to eliminate pest entrances
Keep doors, windows clean, maintained and securedGuest entrances should be clean, bright and free of
obstaclesReceiving docks and doors must be kept clean
• Eliminate food that attracts pests• Minimizes potential food contamination sources• Controls odors that may be drawn into the facility
222
Guest Areas Guests expect clean, inviting facilities
Free from trash, soils, unpleasant odors, soundsAdequate lighting to read and see foodClean and sanitary surfaces, utensils and restrooms
Well-maintained guest areas impact food safetyClean floors, walls, surfaces minimizes pests and contamination
sources• Including quick clean-up of spills, soiled utensils and materials
Regularly maintained restrooms reduces transfer of contamination by guests to food areas
Proper design separates food handling, service from soiled items and clean-up operations
Proper protection of guest self-service areas minimizes potential of contamination and cross contamination
• Proper temperature control is critical to prevent microbial growth
223
Food Handling AreasCritical to keep food handling areas clean, sanitary and
properly maintained
Floors, walls, ceilings should be clean and intactKeep floors clean to reduce slip hazards and kept free of water
puddlesFloor and wall junctures should be sealed and easily cleanableCeilings should be intact, free from dust and condensation
Hand washing facilities must be available and functionalLocated in food handling areasUnobstructed, properly stocked and functionalSignage to remind Team members to wash hands often
224
Team Member AreasTeam member restrooms, locker rooms must be kept
clean, functional and well stockedMust have doors or closures that separate from food handling
areasCleaned and sanitized at least dailyShould be used only for storage of Team member personal items
– not for food or other materialsRestrooms must be adequately stocked and functionalSignage to remind team members to wash hands after using
restroomTeam member breakrooms must be kept clean and
properly maintainedMust not be used to store food, single use items, chemicals, etc.Cleaned and sanitized at least daily
225
Water Supply
Use only potable water from a certified source municipal (public) water supplyapproved well (tested annually)
Provide sufficient flow and volume of water to service facilityAdequate supply of hot water
If water supply is disrupted and/or facility does not have potable water, call Alert One immediately
If there is a sewer back-up, stop food production and call Alert One immediately
226
Avoid cross-connections
A cross-connection is any physical link
between a potable water source and
water of uncertain origin which may
carry contaminants from drains, sewers,
waste pipes, etc.

Do not use paper bags or boxes for trash
Do not have to be covered while in use
Remove garbage promptly when full
Do not block walkways, sinks, exits
Inside the building:
231
Garbage Areas
Exterior areas:Keep area around compactor/dumpster clean
Close lid on dumpster and/or garbage cans when not in use
Have dumpster emptied routinely and consistently
Keep areas sanitary where garbage cans are washed
Dumpster must be sealed completely to prevent leakage of fluids.
Locate dumpster on hard, cleanable, impermeable surface (concrete or asphalt)
232
Integrated Pest ManagementIntegrated Pest Management (IPM) is the prevention of pest infestation
through cleaning, sanitation, product rotation and facility maintenance
SuperTarget stores are USDA Certified Organic retailers and must follow specific pest control procedures to maintain certification
Focus is on prevention: Limiting access to facility Monitoring for pests before they become a problem Following proper procedures for storage, maintenance and cleaning
PCO (Pest Control Operator) is responsible for checking and maintaining monitoring traps
they also help identify conditions that may lead to pest problem such as spills, improperly sealed doors, etc.
Contact LOD if you see a pest problem or signs of pest activity.
