Q1. Drag the ticks to the correct answers. What does the legislation governing food
handling practices outline and how is this governed at state, territory and local
government levels?
The food safety standards are administered through the Australia New
Zealand Food Standards Code.
The Food Standards Code sets the standards for Food labelling, Food
composition, Product contaminants and Codes of conduct.
The Food standards provide the minimum requirements for food businesses
and allow for planning of all food-related operations around this framework.
It is a criminal offence to supply food that does not conform to the Code.
It is illegal to sell food which is damaged, deteriorated, has been tainted, or
which is unfit for human consumption.
Q2. Indicate true or false to the following statements relating to the role and rights of
an Environmental Health Officer (EHO)?
T
- EHOs, commonly referred to as Health Inspectors, have wide-reaching powers to
conduct checks of premises, compliance with building codes and adherence to safe
food handling practices.
T
- An EHO has the right to enter your premises at any time during normal operating
hours, including in the middle of your busiest lunch service!
F
- In Australia, the state health authority is in charge of enforcing building codes,
supervising safe food handling and conducting inspections of food premises through
an EHO.
T
- A well-run kitchen should be able to maintain good hygiene practices, even
during the busiest times.
T
- An EHO has the right to inspect any and all areas of your business including
taking food samples from any area, for the purposes of testing for bacteria.
T
- Failure to comply with food legislation can result in breach notices, fines and
prosecution.
Q3. Indicate true or false. The following HACCP statements are:
T
- A hazard analysis involves identifying and assessing the seriousness and
likelihood of the hazard occurring.
F
- Maximum internal temperatures are critical limits for cooking.
F
- Once critical limits have been set, they do not need to be monitored.
T
- All businesses must make sure that their HACCP procedures are working
correctly.
T
- Under HACCP all testing, monitoring and verification must be recorded and those
records must be stored.

Q5. Drag the ticks to the correct answers. The following statements relating to
hazards and hazard analysis are:
Hazards are any biological, chemical or physical properties which could
cause a food safety problem.
Hazards can occur at any part of the food production pathway.
Hazard analysis involves identifying and assessing the seriousness and
likelihood of the hazard occurring.
Q6. Drag the ticks to the correct answers. The following statements relating to a
critical control point are:
A Critical Control Point is a point, step or procedure at which control can be
applied so the hazard can be prevented, eliminated or reduced to an
acceptable level.
Any critical control point which has been identified needs to be analysed
and documented as part of HACCP.
Q7. Indicate true or false. How would a critical limit be determined and applied during
the cooking process?
T
- Critical limits are the maximum or minimum levels which ensure safety of the
product.
T
- If the number of bacteria in a sample is below a certain level, then the product is
deemed acceptable.
T
- If the number of bacteria is above the maximum level, the product is deemed
unacceptable.
F
- Maximum internal temperatures are critical limits for cooking.
T
- Minimum internal temperatures are critical limits for cooking.
Q8. Drag the ticks to the correct answers. The following statements relate to
procedures for monitoring and sampling:
The systems and procedures used in food production must be monitored to
make sure they are being followed.
Samples are taken at each step so they can be tested to see whether the
critical limits have been breached.
If the monitoring and sampling indicates an unacceptable level, then the
processes and procedures must be adjusted to prevent it happening again.
Q9. Indicate true or false. What are the legal requirements for record keeping and
verification of HACCP procedures?
T
- All testing, monitoring and verification must be recorded and those records must
be stored.
T
- By storing all HACCP related records you can prove that your procedures meet
the requirements.
F
- If all recording mechanisms are in place then all HACCP procedures must be
working correctly.
T

Flyscreens and plastic curtains help to keep out adult insects.
Pests, such as rats, need to be kept under control using barriers or
poisoning.
Pets are also carriers of bacteria and are never allowed in a food
establishment with the exception of guide dogs, which are limited to food
service and accommodation areas only.
Q23. Drag the ticks to the correct answers. There are several groups of people who
are generally more at risk of food poisoning and therefore special care in the selection
and preparation of food is a requirement:
High risk groups include the elderly, pregnant women and children.
People with immune deficiencies and food allergies also belong in the high
risk category of customers.
People with allergies to certain foods, such as nuts, may react badly to the
slightest contamination.
People who are already unwell due to various reasons.
Q24. Drag the ticks to the correct answers. Drag the correct statements relating to
the use and the legal requirements for food thermometers to the drop-boxes on the
right:
The probe thermometer must be accurate within 1ºC, meaning that if the
internal temperature is 4ºC, the thermometer must display a temperature
between 3ºC and 5ºC.
A thermometer can be calibrated by placing the probe in a container of
barely-melted ice. The thermometer should read between -1ºC and +1ºC.
Before the thermometer is used it must be cleaned and sanitised.
Use detergent and an appropriate sanitiser, then rinse or air-dry (depending
on the thermometer and sanitiser used).
Q25. Select from the drop-down menus to choose the correct answers. What are the
general requirements for single use items and for foods which are to be disposed of or
returned to a supplier? Match the appropriate procedure to the relevant action.
Food is subject to recall
This can occur when the manufacturer has identified dangerous levels of
pathogens or contaminants; faulty packaging or incorrect labelling; or
incorrect processing
Food has been returned
A customer or business that has purchased food from you may return items
due to a fault, e.g. torn packaging or contamination
Food is not safe to eat
Food items may become contaminated with microorganisms or physical
contaminants; become damaged; or deteriorate in quality
Food is suspected of not being safe to eat
You might suspect that food is unsafe, for example, the food may have
stayed in the danger zone for too long. Although you cannot tell if the food
is unsafe, you can assume it is unsafe and therefore dispose of it
Whenever single-use items are available
It is essential that these are stored, displayed and packaged appropriately
to prevent customers touching more than 1 item at a time. These must not
be reused and torn or damaged items must never be given out
Destroying or disposing of food
If large amounts of food are to be disposed of, you may need to destroy it
before dumping it, so that it cannot be taken from the dump and used. An
alternative is to donate or sell appropriate food items as animal feed
Q26. Indicate true or false. According to the Food Safety Standard 3.2.2, which of the
following foods are examples of potentially hazardous foods?
T
- Raw and cooked meat such as casseroles, curries and lasagne.
T
- Dairy products, e.g. milk, custard and dairy-based desserts such as cheesecakes
and custard tarts.
F
- Fresh fruit and vegetables.
T
- Cooked rice and pasta.
Q27. Drag the ticks to the correct answers. When cleaning utensils which come in
direct contact with customers, the following aspects need to be considered to prevent
food safety issues:
All cutlery, crockery and glasses need to be cleaned and polished. You
should double check that there is no food residue, airborne dust or lipstick
left on the items.
Never put your fingers on the rim, as this can transfer bacteria to
customers’ lips.
Crockery and glasses need to be washed and free of any chips or cracks, as
these can trap food residue, which could contaminate food.
You also need to clean all small and large equipment, especially in hard to
reach places. Items like blenders can develop mould or bacteria if not
cleaned properly.
It is important to identify and report any maintenance or equipment
cleaning needs that you cannot immediately handle yourself.
Q28. Drag the ticks to the correct answers. The following aspects must be considered
when handling and preparing foods to avoid allergic reactions through allergens in
customers:
Food allergies occur when someone reacts badly to a particular type of
food.
Allergic reactions to nuts are common and severe enough for labelling
requirements to be put in place for all foods that may have been in contact
with nuts.
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can involve swelling and
possibly closing of the throat, swelling and rash on the face, restricted
breathing and low blood pressure.
Anaphylaxis can be caused by many different allergens and can have very
severe consequences including unconsciousness and even death.
It is essential that you take this matter seriously as an allergic reaction may
result in death!
If you are unsure of what would constitute a “safe” menu choice, always
consult with a dietitian or other dietary expert.
Many customers with health issues may have a list that specifies what
ingredients they can and cannot have.
Q29. Select from the drop-down menus to choose the correct answers. Match the
potential allergen to the correct consideration for ingredients and preparation
methods when catering for people with allergies:
Gluten
No wheat, rye, barley – beware of hidden gluten, e.g. in beer
MSG
Is part of many stock powders and flavourings
