Food hygiene refers to the safe handling, preparation, and storage of food to prevent contamination, food poisoning, and harm to customers.
Anyone involved in preparing, handling, cooking, serving, or storing food in a catering setting should complete food hygiene training.
HACCP is a food safety system that identifies hazards and applies control measures to reduce risks during food preparation and service.
Cross-contamination is prevented by separating raw and cooked foods, using colour-coded equipment, and maintaining strict cleaning routines.
Chilled food should be stored below 5°C, hot food held above 63°C, and cooked food must reach safe internal temperatures before serving.
Allergens are managed through clear labelling, staff awareness, preventing cross-contact, and providing accurate allergen information to customers.
