Basics of Food Safety
                                   Keeping food safe for human consumption is not rocket science, all it takes is being cautious
                                   and utilising your common sense. Contrary to what many in the food industry think, it is not
                                   costly or time consuming and will ensure that your restaurant is not the source of sickness to
                                   customers.

                                   A few basic Tips:

                                   1.    Keep it cold

                                   Keep the fridge below 5oC and put any food that needs to be kept cold in the fridge straight
                                   away, do not leave it out at room temperature. Don’t eat food that’s meant to be in the fridge if
                                   it’s been left out for 2 hours or more.

                                   2.    Keep it clean

                                   This applies to your hands, the utensils and kitchen equipment. Wash and dry your hands
                                   thoroughly before starting to prepare or eat any food. Keep benches, kitchen equipment and
                                   tableware clean and dry and don’t allow raw meat juices drip onto other foods. Separate raw
                                   and cooked food and use different utensils.

                                   3.    Keep it hot

                                   Ensure that you cook foods to at least 60oC, until they’re steaming hot and when reheating
                                   foods ensure that they are steaming hot. When cooking meats like sausage, burgers and mince
                                   ensure that it is cooked throughout and no pink is left in the middle. When cooking chicken
                                   ensure the juices run clear.




                                                                                                                                1/1
