8. Reading Passage and Question answer
Barry is a twenty-seven years old food service manager at a casual dining restaurant. Barry is
responsible for supervising and managing all the employees in the back of the house. The employees
working in the back of the house range age from 16 years old to 55 years old. In addition, the employees
come from diverse culture and ethnic backgrounds. For many of them English is not their primary
language.
Barry tries his best to keep up with food safety issue in the kitchen but he admits it's not easy. The
employees receive job training about food safety but with high turnover of employees, training is often
rushed and some new employees are put right into the job without training if it is a busy day. The
owners of the restaurant are supportive of Barry in his food safety efforts because they know if a food
safety outbreak were ever linked to their restaurant. It would likely put them out of business. One day
Barry comes to the work and he walks into the kitchen, he notices several trays of uncooked meat laid
out in the kitchen area. It seems this has been laying at room temperature for some time. Barry felt
frustrated and does not know what to do. Barry has taken many efforts to get employees to be safe in
how they handle food. He has huge signs posted all over the kitchen with these words 'Keep hot food
hot and cold food cold and wash your hands always and often'. All employees are given thermometer
to temp food. Hand sinks, soaps are available for the employees so they can wash their hands
frequently.
