Mass Feeding Operations
3. Food Preparation- Cooking / Reheating
Food Minimum Temperature*
Raw Eggs prepared for immediate service, fish, pork, & meat
145°F
Raw Eggs not prepared for immediate service and hamburger or comminuted fish
155°F
Poultry or stuffed meat, pasta, poultry, or fish and reheating leftovers
165°F
* 15 seconds minimum holding time at this temperature
Mass Feeding Operations
3. Food Preparation- Holding Temperature
/ Time
Hot – 140°F or above
Cold – 41° or below
Time – <4 hours with controls
Mass Feeding Operations
3. Food Preparation- Cooling
Times / Temperatures
• 2 hours from 140°- 70°F
• 4 hours from 70°- 41°F
• 4 hours to 41°F for food preparedfrom ambient
• 4 hours to 41°F for received food
Field Tip: Avoid Leftovers unless excellent refrigeration is available and cooling is closely monitored.
Mass Feeding Operations
4. Cleaning and Sanitization- Warewashing
• Use potable water
• Pre-scrap to garbage cans
• Pre-flush to remove food debris
• Wash in clean, hot detergent solution
• Rinse in clean water
• Use automatic warewashing facilities where possible
Field Tips: Use single service and single use items to minimize warewashing / presoak pots and pans unless they can be immediately washed.
Mass Feeding Operations
4. Cleaning and Sanitization- Manual Sanitizing
• Warm, clean sanitizing solution
• Proper Strength verified with appropriate test strips
• Immersion for specified time and temperatures
Chlorine Solutions≥10 seconds
Quaternary ammonium chloride Solutions- see manufacturers label directions forconcentration / ≥75°/ 500 mg hardness / ≥30 seconds
Iodine Solutions
pH <5 – 12.5 – 25 mg/L / ≥75°F / ≥30 seconds
Hot Water171°F / ≥30 seconds
Mass Feeding Operations
5. FacilitiesIssues:
• Liquid and Solid Waste Disposal
• Vector Control, as needed
• Protection from Elements
• Toxic Item Control
• Physical Facility Security / Control
Field Tip: Use fixed preplanned facilities where possible.
Reopening Establishments
Plan the Work and
Work the Planwith Flexibility
Field Tips: Be professional and courteous; owners, managers, and workers will be under maximum stress; and be flexible and creative.
Reopening Establishments
The Environmental Public Health Agency will:
• Promptly respond to imminent health hazards.
• Provide guidance to help food establishments resume operation as quickly as possible
• Assist food establishments to assess and pre- plan for food safety during a widespread emergency in developing their Emergency Action Plan.
• Communicate with the industry during emergencies.
• Conduct enforcement activity as appropriate to protect public health.
Reopening Establishments
Each disaster will bring its own unique problems
• Promptly respond to imminent health hazards.
• Provide guidance to help food establishments resume operation as quickly as possible.
• Assist food establishments to assess and pre- plan for food safety during a widespread emergency in developing their own Emergency Action Plan.
• Communicate with the industry during emergencies.
• Conduct enforcement activity as appropriate to protect public health.
Reopening EstablishmentsAdministrative Details:
• Develop an assessment plan, reopening,
criteria, reporting and work tracking
procedures.
• Quickly do an overall survey of facilities
resume operation as quickly as possible.
• Determine which can be reopened soonest
• Limited menu service is an option.
• Communicate with decision-makers
• Communicate with the industry
• Communicate with the public
• Communicate with your staff
Field Tip: Harvest Low Hanging FruitIt will reduce the pressure to make bad choices.

• Waste Disposal
• Food Waste Disposal
• Food Salvage
• Vermin Control
• Clean Up
• Refrigeration
• Beverage Systems
• Ice Machines
• Food / Provision Resupply
Reopening EstablishmentsFood Establishment Assessment: - Water Supply Issues
Clear Consistent Guidance
• No Water Supply
• Potentially Contaminated Water Supply /
“Boil Water Notice”
• Tap Water
• Ice, Ice-making, Beverage & Water Vending
• Handwashing
• Cooking & Cleaning
• Dishwashing/Warewashing
• Rescinding The Boil Water Notice
Field Tip: Coordinate – Make sure that you are on the same page
Reopening EstablishmentsFood Establishment Assessment: - Water Supply Issues
Food Establishment Response:
• Suspend Food and Beverage Service until Approved Alternative Water Supply is initiated
• Recognize limitations required to protect food safety
• Provide alternative handwashing facilities
• Provide alternative restroom facilities
• Use approved alternative water supply for cooking and cleaning
• Disconnect ice and beverage systems from water supply
• Discontinue service when alternative supply fails or proves insufficient
Food Establishment Recovery:
• Flush water lines, hot water heaters, and other reservoirs for at least 5 minutes
• Clean ice machine, bins, and other equipment connected to water system and discard first hour of production of replacement ice and at least first 5 minutes of the beverage.
Reopening EstablishmentsFood Establishment Assessment: - Sewage Backup / Flood Issues
• Limited to small area or throughout establishment
• Involves food, food equipment, and food contact surfaces as well as facilities
Food Establishment Response:
• Suspend Food and Beverage Service until Reopened by Regulatory Authority
• Protect workers and patrons
• Remove standing flood water / sewage
• Remove and discard affected food, single service, and uncleanable surfaces
• Clean affected remaining hard surfaces with hot detergent solution and rinse
• Use approved disinfectant / sanitizer at proper strength to cleaned surfaces
• Thoroughly air dry area to remove residual moisture
• Use qualified service person to inspect affected equipment before reconnecting utilities
Food Establishment Recovery:
• Replace affected food, single service and other supplies
• Replace physical facilities to approved standards
