Applying Mansfield Independent School District’s Values
Values How we live our Values every day
Students First
All HACCP Standard Operating Procedures are implemented for the safety of our students and staff. Students need healthy and wholesome meals to perform their best in all their academic and extra- curricular pursuits.
Continuous Improvement
The MISD HACCP SOPs Manual is a living document that will be reviewed and updated as frequently as needed to reflect current USDA, state, and local health department requirements for the prevention of and protection against food borne illness and infection.
Integrity
MISD Student Nutrition is committed to maintaining HACCP principles in all aspects of our work. We strive for quality and choice for our students and staff. However, any conflict between food quality and food safety will always be decided in favor of food safety. Without safety there is no quality.
Communication
Our students, parents, and staff deserve transparency and upfront communication. All HACCP related documentation is available per the OPEN RECORDS NOTICE which are subject to Texas Open Records laws and may be disclosed to the public upon request.
Positive Relationships
Student Nutrition holds itself to a higher standard than expected by any governing body. We do so to protect the relationship we have built within our community.
Resiliency
We work tirelessly to put preventative measures in place through our HACCP plan so that every student gets a wholesome meal. When there is a failure, we have checks and balances to quickly respond and prevent further issue.

temperatures for all other deliveries with the exception of bread which is received ambient temperature on the FORM 3.1A- Receiving Log
5. Alcohol Sanitize Thermometer between each use 6. Deliveries during hours of operation: Check that products meet specifications and quality
requirements as ordered. Evaluate quality of products by checking temperature. In addition use odor, sight, touch, and condition of packaging. If any foods are deemed unacceptable, they should be rejected and returned with the vendor/ supplier. Follow department procedure for receiving credit on returned items and disposal of items not picked up by vendor.
7. Deliveries during non-operating hours: Check that products meet specifications and quality requirements as ordered using the same methods used for deliveries during operational hours. Product deemed unacceptable should be stored separately from other food items in a designated area. The item/ items for return should be clearly labeled. Contact the Student Nutrition Commodity Food Specialist. Follow department procedure for receiving credit on returned items.
8. Accept only pasteurized dairy products. 9. Remove temperature controlled for safety/potentially hazardous foods from the temperature
danger zone (41ºF to 135ºF), and place in storage as quickly as possible. 10. Record the month, day, and year received on the outside of each package, then on each
subsequent interior packaging if the case is opened and discarded. I.E. #10 Cans that will be added to a can rack
Receiving Frozen and Refrigerated Foods:
1. Check temperature with a calibrated thermometer to assure that potentially hazardous cold foods are received at or below 41°F.
For refrigerated packaged products, insert a food thermometer between two packages being careful not to puncture the wrapper. If the temperature exceed 41°F it may be necessary to take the internal temperature before accepting the product. Check random packages and record the temperature of two different types of food items (1 refrigerated and 1 frozen) immediately for each delivery. Record month, day, and year, employee initials, vendor, product name, and temperature of these products in the FORM 3.1A- Receiving Log.
For refrigerated liquid products such as milk or juice, insert a food thermometer in an open container. If the temperature exceeds 41°F. Reject the product.
2. For freezer packaged products, inspect package for signs of temperature abuse such as leaking, ice crystals, and soggy boxes. Then insert a food thermometer between two packages being careful not to puncture the wrapper. If the temperature exceeds 0°F, it is necessary to take the internal temperature before accepting.

Author: IS MISD SN Approved by:
Flow of Food SOP 3.8 Page 1 of 2 Policy: When cooked food will not be served right away, it must be cooled as quickly as possible to prevent microbial growth. Temperatures will be taken during the cooling process to make sure time and temperature standards are met to ensure the safety of food served. Scope: This procedure applies to all foodservice employees who handle, prepare, and serve food Procedure: One-stage (two hour) method:
1. Cool hot cooked food from above 135ºF to 70ºF within the first hour and to 41ºF in one additional hour.
2. Take temperatures to make sure that the appropriate temperature was reached. 3. Discard if food has not cooled to 41ºF or less in the allotted time. 4. Initially containers should not be covered. Once the food has cooled to 41ºF or less cover the
container with the appropriate lid or plastic wrap 5. Store cooled food labeled with the month, day, and year.
Factors that affect how quickly foods will cool down:
1. Size of the food being cooled – the thickness of the food or distance to its center plays the biggest part in how fast a food cools.
2. Density of the food – the denser the food, the slower it will cool. Chili will take longer than chicken noodle soup.
3. Container in which a food is stored – stainless steel transfers heat from foods faster than plastic. Shallow pans allow the heat from food to disperse faster than deep pans.
4. Size of container. Food may not move through the temperature danger zone fast enough if the food is still hot when placed in the cooler or freezer or kept in bulk. The hot food may also raise the temperature of the surrounding food items, placing them in the temperature danger zone (41ºF-135ºF). Placing just cooked food in cooler or freezer is not an acceptable method for cooling food without causing possible other food safety issues. Listed below are acceptable methods that can be used to cool foods more quickly. The methods can be used alone or in combination in order to cool foods quickly. Methods for cooling foods:
1. Reduce the quantity of the food being cooled – cut large food items into smaller pieces or divide large containers of food into smaller containers.
2. Use ice-water baths – divide the cooked food into shallow pans or smaller pots, then place them in ice water and stir food items frequently.
3. Stir food products to cool them faster and more evenly – ice paddles (plastic paddles that are filled with water and frozen). Stirring food with these cold paddles chills foods very quickly.
