    REQUISITES OF DRY STORAGE,

    REFRIGERATED AND FREEZER


    STORAGE AREAS
    Dry Storage
    Many items such as canned goods, baking
    supplies, grains, and cereals may be held
    safely in dry storage areas. The guidelines
    below should be followed:
    • Keep dry storage areas clean with good
    ventilation to control humidity and
    prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.
    • Store dry foods at 50°F for maximum
    shelf life. However, 70°F is adequate for
    dry storage of most products.
    • Place a thermometer on the wall in
    the dry storage area.
    • Check the temperature of the
    storeroom daily.
    • Store foods away from sources of heat
    and light, which decrease shelf life.
    • Store foods off the floor and away
    from walls to allow for adequate air
    circulation.
    Refrigerated Storage
    Refrigeration increases shelf life of most
    products. Most importantly, refrigeration
    slows bacterial growth. Optimal refrigerated
    storage conditions can be achieved by
    following these guidelines:
    • Maintain refrigerated storage spaces at 32-
    40°F
    • Make thermometers readily observable,
    easily readable, and accurate to +3°F.
    • Position the temperature sensor to register
    the warmest air in the refrigerated space to
    ensure adequate cooling.
    • Establish the correct refrigerator
    temperature by placing a thermometer in a
    glass of water in the middle of the
    refrigerator. Wait 5 to 8 hours. If the
    temperature is not 38-40°F, adjust the
    temperature control. Check again after 5-
    8 hours.
    • Ensure that refrigerators have enough
    open, slotted shelving to allow for air
    circulation around shelves and refrigerator
    walls to maintain proper food
    temperatures.
    • Ensure that doors have a good seal and
    close tightly to maintain the temperature
    and the efficiency of the unit. Additionally,
    keep doors closed as much as possible.
    • Keep a back-up appliance thermometer in
    the unit in case of a power outage. If the
    refrigerator is still 40°F when the power
    returns, the food is safe. The food should
    not be consumed if the temperature is held
    at 40°F for more than two hours
    Freezer Storage
    Freezers should be used to store frozen
    food when it is received. Optimal frozen
    storage conditions can be achieved by
    following these guidelines:
    • Maintain freezer storage spaces at 0°F or
    below.
    • Make thermometers readily observable,
    easily readable, and accurate to +3°F.
    • Position the temperature sensor to
    represent the actual storage temperature
    or place several thermometers in the unit
    to ensure accuracy and consistency.
    • Establish the correct temperature in the
    freezer by placing a thermometer
    between frozen food packages. Wait 5 to
    8 hours. If the temperature is not 0-2°F,
    adjust the freezer temperature control.
    Check again after 5-8 hours.
    • Ensure that freezers have enough open,
    slotted shelving to allow for air circulation
    around shelves and walls to maintain
    adequate food temperatures.
    • Ensure that doors have a good seal and
    close tightly to prevent heat gain.
    Additionally, keep doors closed as much
    as possible.
    • Keep a back-up appliance thermometer
    in the unit in case of a power outage. If
    the freezer is still 0°F when the power
    returns, the food is safe.
