Safety and hygienic practices in storing desserts.

Answer:

1. Follow good personal hygiene practices, such as washing hands before handling food, wearing an apron and head covering, and keeping hair pulled back.

2. Keep unwrapped desserts covered with bakery tissue or aluminum foil when stored to protect from airborne contaminants.

6. Disinfect serving trays and platters between uses to avoid contamination.

7. Keep desserts away from pets, wild animals, and other pests.

8. Label all finished desserts with date of preparation so you know when to discard them.

9. Closely monitor expiration dates, and discard any desserts that have expired.

10. Store desserts in a dry place and discard any that have become wet or moldy.
