Holding
Meat should always be wrapped or sealed immediately upon removal from
your smoker, and held this way until ready to serve.
To minimize the danger of food becoming contaminated, follow a few key
steps.
The most important step is hand washing. Employees can easily transmit
germs to clean food if they don’t follow basic personal hygiene. It is very
important to wash after touching raw meat, fish, poultry, or dirty utensils.
Refrigerated cases should keep food at 38°F or below. Hot display cases
should keep food above 140°F
Some microorganisms, which can cause disease when present in low
numbers, don’t require temperature abuse to be dangerous. To avoid these
diseases, exclude infected personnel from foodservice operations, use clean
utensils when handling food, practice clean personal hygiene, and use the proper
containers when covering food.
Remember, these are basic guidelines only and are not intended to replace
laws, regulations, or restrictions concerning the handling and processing of food
products. For further information, use your local health department guidelines to
determine the best method for holding product, hot or cold.
