I NEED HELP WITH A HOSPITALITY QUESTION HELP ANYONE?

[Anonymous]

it's a busy summer's day and you notice that the temp of your under bench refrigerator is creeping up and now is 7 degrees it was 4 degrees an hour ago. you suspect it is not working properly
what should you do?

Hazardous food should not be consumed if it has been stored at higher temperatures for more than two hours. (In this case, I am thinking mainly about meat products.

I see that you are studying a certification for hospitality- which I know nothing about, but I can say that food safety requires you to store food at temperatures below 4 degrees, and anything above that is deemed unsafe to eat.

If it has been 4 hours, it is probable that the food in that fridge should not be consumed. (Though you shouldn't take my word over the guidelines.)

Call a repair man? Buy a new fridge?

im studying certicicate III in hospitality and my unit is USE HYGENIC PRACTICES FOR FOOD SAFTEY? and thats the question i got

[TripleAce]

Oh i see

- First thing you should do is push the raw meats or cooked meats to the back of the fridge
- second is to make sure everything is sealed nicely so there is no leakage since things will start to melt soon
- third you might want to move things to a another fridge if possible

I have more, something like that?
