Case Study: Sitxinv202 Maintain The Quality of Perishable Items
PART-A
Describe what you would do in the following situation:
A Large order of both fresh salmon and fresh prawns have just arrived from
your quality seafood supplier. However, when you take the temperature of
the seafood it is at 8 degrees Celsius. What would you do in this situation?
In the above case while receiving the delivery for salmon and prawns a
temperature range of 0°C and 2°C applies. Anything above this temperature
range makes the food come under ‘danger zone’.
When we received the delivery of salmon and prawns it was meant to be at a
temperature between 0°C- 2°C degrees but we recorded the temperature as
8°C . The food at this temperature should not be accepted.
To double check the delivery process I would check the time taken to deliver
the supplies, and if the duration is less than 2 hours, I would accept the
delivery and store the supplies at correct temperature straightaway.
If the food has been in the danger temperature zone for more than 4 hours,
then it should not be accepted.
A courier from your Chemical supplier has arrived at the same time as the
seafood. He has brought, among other things, a 25-litre drum of dishwashing
powder. This delivery was due 2 days ago and you urgently need it, but the
drum is damaged and leaking.
I will first check the items in the delivery to make sure how much is left in the
drum, then I would take photos to have some evidence, to facilitate timely
check with the seller, and then I would contact seller to re send the order with
same amount and quantity.
I would then, protect the rest and replace it with a new drum to prevent any
further leakage to secure it and use till I get the replacement order delivered.
While securing the damaged drum I would make sure not to let the leakage
contaminate any nearby areas.

4 STOCK ROTATION
Stock rotation is a method of preventing stock exhaustion. It is a technique
used in hospitality and retail, especially in food stores such as restaurants and
supermarkets, to transfer products with an earlier selling date to the front of a
shelf. As a result, they are picked up and sold first, pushing brands with a later
purchase date to the back.
