Recommended with Reservations

A good, general, easy-to-read and understand booklet. It can suffice as an introduction to the correct mindset (attention to diligence) when used within appropriate context by the intended target audience. It contains many good simple recommendations that exceed Food Code requirements to error on the "safe side." There are some key components that are completely omitted or insufficiently emphasized, which may be risky to rely on individual judgment calls, such as in regards to not amply itemizing and detailing rapid cooling techniques and time/temperature windows. Although, it is designed to offer helpful recommendations and GENERAL guidance for intended audience with a simple "rule-of-thumb" safety margin approach.
