  • Temperature control is a critical way to manage food safety—by properly heating and cooling foods, and limiting the time potential hazardous foods spend in the danger zone.
  • Personal hygiene, equipment and tool cleanliness, pest control, and environmental sanitation are all areas to scrutinize when considering an operations ability to control cross-contamination.
