The goals of this act are to ensure safe food and avoid misleading sales processes. Food Regulation 2016 provides licensing value to different food businesses. Food Production (Safety) Act 2000 promotes food safety schemes and it also investigates the sales of the food. Food Production (Safety) Regulation 2014 controls the quality of the food.

2. Each Food Safety Program must comply with state or territory legislation. Describe 2 procedures a food business must implement according to the legislation of your state or territory. The two procedures of the food business according to food safety programs and legislations are as follows: 



The food business in Queensland has an accredited license by the local government. The conditions are the food business involves off-site catering. On the on-site, the license is given more value and premises (Queensland Health, 2020). The premises for the catering are based on the food safety program. The parameters are 200 or more human beings, 12 or more occasions and the time period of 12 months. The license in the food business process is not required if the business is granted by the Food Production (Safety) Act 2000.

15. Describe how cross-contamination can occur. Cross-contamination happens when the germs are transported from various materials like dirty clothes, utensils and food ingredients to the food preparation system. This leads to many numbers of health threats and food poisoning. This phenomenon occurs when the bacteria and other microbes get in contact with the prepared meals which are stayed under any noncovering or protection for some periods. The ingestion of the food from those cooking items leads to infection and diseases. 16. Identify 3 causes of food contamination. The three causes of food contamination are as follows:   

The use of raw and semi-cooked seafood contains some presence of microbes in them. The use of un-pastured milk and dairy products contains microbes in large quantities. The use of the spoiled meat and non-vegan items as these are multiplication bases of the microbes.

17. How can you, as an employee, avoid contaminating food products? List 4 personal hygiene requirements. The four personal hygiene requirements are as follows:

    

Following the guidelines of the personal hygiene programs. This will help to make the cleanliness process more disciplined.

The stale and un-sold food must be eliminated without any kind of processing. The working environment of the food business has to be repetitively cleaned and sanitized to reduce the multiplication of germs.

18. Match the disease to its definition by drawing a line connecting each box on the left with the correct answer on the right.

Disease Food-borne disease is: An airborne disease is:

An infectious disease is:

Any disease that is caused by pathogens and air. Caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such a parasites or fungi; the diseases can be spread, one person to another. Any illness that results from consuming conta

19. Name the 3 types of hazards that are most likely to contaminate food products. Give an example of each hazard. The three types of hazards which cause food contamination are as follows: 

Biological hazards: It is mainly caused by the spread of the diseases through the bacteria, virus, protozoa and fungi. The spread of malaria germs is such an example through the mosquitoes.

 

Chemical hazards: it is caused due to harmful chemicals. The example is the use of unwashed vegetables which have harmful pesticides. Physical hazards: The use of unhygienic rules may lead to physical hazards. The example like the spread of the germs through the dirty hands of the cook in the food industry to the customers and resulting in food poisoning.

20. In a Food Safety Program, you are required to follow procedures which will help prevent food poisoning. List 3 procedures you must follow to remove or minimize any potential hazards that could cause food poisoning. The three procedures to remove the food hazards in the Food Safety Program are as follows:   

The proper inspection of the cooking materials, utensil, gloves, accessories and protective wearing will help to reduce the physical hazards. The hard boiling of the food materials and pasteurization will prevent biological hazards. The proper washing of the food ingredients and vegetables will remove the harmful chemicals which are the pesticides and will prevent chemical hazards.

21. Bacteria need a number of conditions to multiply. List 6 conditions bacteria need for growth. The six conditions for the growth of the bacteria are as follows:     





Food: The materials of the food like meat. Dairy products, eggs, fish and rotten vegetables provide the nutrients which are essential for the growth of the bacteria. The nutrients like the proteins and carbohydrates help the bacteria to multiply and breed. Acidity: The pH scale determines the level of acidity in any materials. The acidic range is based on a scale of 7.5 to 4. Thus provides the ideal multiplication for the bacteria. The acidic property provides a scenario for the bacteria to grow and spread. Temperature: The bacteria require the temperature as the medium of surviving. The temperature from 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 142 degrees Fahrenheit is the best for the growth of the bacteria. Crossing this temperature level is not perfect for the bacteria. Time: Bacteria need time to grow and survive like all living beings. Bacteria have a lifespan of 20 minutes. This time is the ideal period for the multiplication of the bacteria. This may result in doubling their number. Oxygen: This is the vital element for all living beings to survive. Bacteria as the other living beings require oxygen. Bacteria perform anaerobic respiration in many cases. Many bacteria can grow and survive without or minimum oxygen presence. The growth of the bacteria can also increase without oxygen. Moisture: It is one of the specific elements of the growth of the bacteria. This gives the water balancing and metabolism support for the multiplication and breeding of the bacteria. The decay and spoils of the food and other biological materials are the best breeding grounds as it contains some levels of moisture. 22. Indicate whether the following statements about handwashing procedures are true or false.

Correct handwashing procedures include these steps: Use handwashing facilities designated for handwashing only. Clean hands thoroughly using soap or other effective means. Only use cold running water.

True True True

Rinse hands underwater first before soaping. Dry hands on a tea towel or other cloth. Wash hands in the closest sink for speed and efficiency. Dry hands thoroughly on a single-use towel or paper towel, or in another way that is not likely to transfer disease-causing organisms onto the hands. 23. Food handlers are expected to wash their hands whenever their hands are likely to contaminate food. Provide 8 different circumstances that would require a food handler to wash their hands. The eight different circumstances for the food handlers to wash their hands are as follows:         

Washing the hands before cooking and preparing the food. Washing of the hand is also essential during the process of selecting the food ingredients for cooking. Washing the hand is also required during the serving of the food to the customers. After the sneezing and coughing the washing of hands is also essential. After any kind of smoking and chewing habits, the wash of hands is compulsory. Washing of the hand is also essential after any kind of physical contact with the customers. Washing of the hands is also performed after the use of mobile phones and other electronic accessories. The washing of the hand is also required during any faults like cuts and bleeding. 24. Describe a personal health issue that requires you to cease working with food and report it to the appropriate person.



The food handlers must work with proper concern and efficiencies. The health issues like foodborne diseases like cholera, diarrhoea, etc which can be contagious can lead to the cease of their work. These types of diseases are caused by the microbes which can easily spread from one body to another body. The food handler must understand the disease which he or she is having. The symptoms have to be identified with proper medical checkups. The food handlers can report to the supervisor or manager about the disease which is the health issue leading to the spread of diseases to the other members of the food supplies and customers. This may hurt the reputation of the food business. During such cases, the food -handlers can cease from their work.

27. Describe 2 ways that a food handler can ensure hygienic personal contact with food or food contact surfaces. The two ways for the food handlers to ensure the hygiene of personal contact with food or food contact surfaces are as follows:  

The proper maintaining of clothes and dress is essential. The dress and clothes must be approved by the hygienic and food safety organizations to ensure safe and hygienic conditions. The unhygienic cleaning and food preparation practices are to be eliminated. The cooking ingredients and utensils have to be properly sanitized and washed before and after cooking (Illés et al., 2018). The serving tables are also required to be properly sanitized and washed and this would prevent the spread of diseases to the customers.
