How to Maintain Drive-Thru Food Safety

The impact of the COVID virus on fast food restaurants has significantly declined. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay to slack off on food safety. To prevent the transmission of food-borne diseases to customers, QSRs should practice these food safety rules on a daily basis:

• Closely monitor easily spoiled food.  Check expiration dates on all delivered food. Store fresh and frozen foods at the correct temperatures. Make sure all refrigerators and freezers are equipped with automatic temperature warnings.

• Clean and sanitize all food surfaces. Use soaps, detergents and disinfectants designed for restaurants to disinfect food prep surfaces and cooking utensils.

• Practice daily employee hygiene. Make it a rule for employees to frequently wash hands, including those who don’t handle food.

• Use strong water sanitizers. Make sure your sanitizer is powerful enough to kill the dangerous norovirus. Change the water frequently, using the recommended amount of sanitizer for maximum safety.
