How to maintain cleanliness when

performing steps in preparing sandwich


Sandwiches can contain perishable foods (those
likely to spoil or become unsafe – if not kept
refrigerated) or raw vegetables – that if not washed –
can harbor dangerous bacteria.

Likewise, if sandwiches are not prepared, packed,


and stored properly – bacteria growth can occur and
cause food illness. And during warmer months
bacteria multiply faster – so preparing food for
outdoor travel is more challenging.

 What is perishable foods? Perishable is used to


describe an item, usually food, that typically spoils
within a relatively short amount of time, such as fruits,
vegetables, meats, and dairy products. Such items are often
simply called perishables.
Before beginning making a sandwich, make sure to
wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20
seconds.
 PREPARATION ON CLEANLINESS:
 Always clean vegetables because they can
contain danger bacteria. Lettuce, tomatoes and
cucumbers are the most common foods that can
carry E.coli. Washing will help remove bacteria,
including E.coli, from the surface of fruit and
vegetables.
 When using a cutting board for food that will not
be cooked, such as bread, lettuce, and
tomatoes, be sure to wash the board after using
it to cut raw meat and poultry. Consider using
one cutting board for fresh produce and a
separate one for meat and poultry.

PACKING:

 1. Only what is to be consumed

Pack just the amount of perishable food that can


be eaten later. That way, there won’t be a
problem about the storage or safety of leftovers.
After eating, discard all leftover food, used food
packaging, and paper bags. Do not reuse
packaging because it could contaminate other
food and cause foodborne illness.

 2. Keep food cold

To keep sandwiches cool away from home,


include at least two cold sources. You can use
two frozen gel packs (not smaller than 5×3-
inches each) or combine a frozen gel pack with a
frozen juice box or frozen bottle of water. Freeze
gel packs overnight. When packing your bag
lunch, place them on top and bottom of the
perishable food items to keep them cold.
 3. At work or school

When arriving at work or school, store perishable


items in a refrigerator promptly. When you place
your insulated bag in the refrigerator, leave the
lid or bag open so that cold air can keep the food
cold.

Some food is safe without a cold source. Items


that don’t require refrigeration include whole
fruits and vegetables, hard cheese, canned meat
and fish, chips, breads, crackers, peanut butter,
jelly, mustard, and pickles.
