Pollution Mechanisms

Pollution from:


It is pollution which is already implicit in the food. This was evident because meat brings fecal organisms and being near the fire may increase the number of organisms.

Cross-contamination:

Cross-contamination means the process by which the bacteria from one area are transferred, usually by a food handler to another clean area before, so that infected food or surfaces. This was the most found by different objects, the taco used: with the same knife to split the meat, also cut the lemons, another is the use of cloth to clean because the taco he used to clean areas close to where he was and once stung the flesh with the hand you put contaminated ground beef in tortillas. Another is that the person who supposedly warms tortillas only uses the stick to flip the tortillas and when the other employee is not charged her, and then returns to continue turning the tortillas with dirty hands.

Human:

Refers wing person handling food and can contaminate food. The taco has a habit of preparing food ahead of time ie advance purchase meat "to choose the best" and the date of preparing the vegetables are chopped from five hours before the sale so that at night and you are done , interview the employee on the use of the surplus of one day sale and there were days I confessed that they were not selling food, so the following day boiled the sauce and the meat kept in the refrigerator to reheat the time of sale. Meat as the vegetables prepared in advance to "grip flavor impact where there may be contamination. During my stay I observed that the wife of taco is one that helps to warm the tortillas, she handled dirty things and then back again to warm tortillas. Without washing hands. Another issue that I see is that the taco has a habit of clinging body parts, and then continue with their work.

The above are some types, mechanisms and sources of contamination found during the visit to this facility may be able to find others with a more detailed study.

The person who is attending food, has a responsibility to protect the health of their consumers through proper handling of food, so it should be more careful when preparing food, this includes cleaning the taco and employees that relate to food. This would be the best way to improve the quality of service and simultaneously would provide greater consumer confidence
