HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been

removed from many pre-prepared foods. This together

with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week

shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is

even more important than ever.

The following tips should help you to ensure that the

food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible.

“ Keep the time between buying chilled food and

placing it in your freezer as short as possible.

Tests showed that the temperature of 1 litre of

orange juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the

supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to

get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.

“ Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible.

Remember that warm air is ﬂowing in as you are

deciding what to have for tea!

“ Do not push food together too much, try to allow

air circulate around each item.

“ Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do

NOT place in the freezer until cool. (Leave food in

a place as cool as possible in order that it can then

be placed in the freezer as soon as possible).

“ Do not store food uncovered.

“ The best way to defrost food is to put it in the

refrigerator to thaw slowly.

“ Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated

and labelled and used in date order to ensure that

food is consumed at its best.

“ It is important that food is used before its “best

before” date.

“ Always wash your hands with soapy water and

dry them with a clean towel before handling food.

“ Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross

contamination by not using the same work

surface or knife, without washing them

thoroughly in between.

“ Use kitchen roll wherever possible for cleaning

up food. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it

frequently.
