Food Service Storage

Course description

Food storage affects both quality and safety.
Food stored improperly will lose its quality, spoil more rapidly, and can cause a foodborne illness when harmful bacteria are allowed to grow.
Sometimes two different kinds of food stored together can result in cross-contamination, with one food contaminating others in storage.
Improperly stored food can also come in contact with other harmful substances such as toxic chemicals—for example, cleaning supplies and pesticides.
Today, you’ll learn how to store food properly to preserve quality and prevent contamination that can lead to food poisoning.
