Food Prep Hygiene Guidelines

Quick Answer: Follow all food safety rules: proper handwashing, correct temperatures, use gloves, keep surfaces clean, and follow the store's hygiene protocols. Health inspectors and EcoSure may visit — compliance matters.

Details: Inspections: Stores may receive Health Inspector and EcoSure inspections checking food handling, hygiene, cleanliness, sanitation, and equipment. Issues affect the store team and could impact your ability to work there.

Key food safety guidelines:

  • Wash hands before handling food and between tasks
  • Wear gloves when handling food items
  • Maintain correct temperatures: hot items 140-150°F, cold items per store guidelines
  • Use timers for expiration tracking
  • Keep work surfaces clean and sanitized
  • Do not cross-contaminate between raw and prepared items
  • Follow all posted food safety signage in the store

Review these guidelines before each shift. Food safety violations can result in shift rejection and removal from the project.

When to Submit a Ticket: Not needed. If you observe serious food safety concerns at a store, report through the support chat.
