Hands cleaned and properly washed/Gloves used properly
The hands are particularly important in transmitting foodborne pathogens. Food employees with dirty hands and/or fingernails may contaminate the food being prepared. Therefore, any activity which may contaminate the hands must be followed by thorough handwashing in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Code.
Even seemingly healthy employees may serve as reservoirs for pathogenic microorganisms that are transmissible through food. Staphylococci, for example, can be found on the skin and in the mouth, throat, and nose of many employees. The hands of employees can be contaminated by touching their nose or other body parts.

Employes must properly wash hands throughout the work day to prevent the contamination of food and food contact surfaces. Gloves must be worn as required.

Personal Cleanliness/ eating, drinking or tobacco use
Proper hygienic practices must be followed by food employees in performing assigned duties to ensure the safety of the food, prevent the introduction of foreign objects into the food, and minimize the possibility of transmitting disease through food. Smoking or eating by employees in food preparation areas is prohibited because of the potential that the hands, food, and food-contact surfaces may become contaminated. Insanitary personal practices such as scratching the head, placing the fingers in or about the mouth or nose, and indiscriminate and uncovered sneezing or coughing may result in food contamination. Poor hygienic practices by employees may also adversely affect consumer confidence in the establishment.
Food preparation areas such as hot grills may have elevated temperatures and the excessive heat in these areas may present a medical risk to the workers as a result of dehydration. Consequently, in these areas food employees are allowed to drink from closed containers that are carefully handled.

Have employees follow good hygienic practices.

All warewashing facilities must be used and maintained to properly wash and sanitize all food contact equipment and utensils.

Thaw food in an approved manner.
 
Proper Cold Holding temperature (41F/45F)
All potentially hazardous food being held cold, must be at the proper holding temperature. Failure to hold cold food at at the proper temperature can lead to increasing bacterial numbers and and increased likelihood of foodborne illness.

Voluntarily destroy Potentially Hazardous Food held above 41 degrees F for more than 4 hours. Food held above 41 degrees F for less than 4 hours may be rapidly cooled to 41 degrees F using an ice bath or similar process.
 
Thermometers provided, accurate, and calibrated; Chemical/ Thermal test strips
The presence and accessibility of food temperature measuring devices is critical to the effective monitoring of food temperatures. Proper use of such devices provides the operator or person in charge with important information with which to determine if temperatures should be adjusted or if foods should be discarded.

Accurate thermometers must be provided.
