A food handler should recalibrate a thermometer whenever it has been dropped or bumped, after prolonged use, or if it is producing inaccurate readings. Additionally, recalibration is recommended before using the thermometer at the start of a shift and periodically throughout the day to ensure accuracy. Regular recalibration helps maintain food safety by ensuring that temperatures are measured correctly.

A food handler should use a calibrated food thermometer to check the temperature of the food. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the food, avoiding bone, fat, or gristle for an accurate reading. Ensure the thermometer is left in place for a few seconds until it stabilizes, then read the temperature to ensure it meets safe cooking or holding guidelines. Always clean and sanitize the thermometer before and after use to prevent cross-contamination.
Food temperature is generally checked by inserting the probe into the thickest part of the food, using a sanitized, calibrated, instant-read thermometer.
A food handler that has discharge from the eyes should be removed from food handling. They should be employed elsewhere until the discharge has stopped.
To reset a food thermometer, first ensure it is turned off. If it has a reset button, press and hold it until the display resets. For thermometers without a reset button, you can usually reset it by removing the battery for a few seconds and then reinserting it. Finally, recalibrate the thermometer if necessary, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Yes, the temperature is within the correct range.
If food becomes contaminated due to a food handler, it is crucial to immediately discard the contaminated food to prevent foodborne illness. The food handler should be removed from food preparation duties and assessed for any symptoms of illness. Additionally, a thorough investigation should be conducted to identify the source of contamination, and proper sanitation procedures should be enforced in the kitchen to prevent future occurrences. Training or retraining of staff on food safety protocols may also be necessary.
