What’s inside
Everything your kitchen’s food safety system needs
Each method sets out what the law asks, what official guidance advises and our own advice, then asks the questions your kitchen needs to answer, with a worked example from a made-up bistro beside the space for yours.
01
Cross-contamination
Nine methods: personal hygiene, reporting illness, raw and ready-to-eat food, cloths, allergy and coeliac orders, allergen labels, pests and equipment.
02
Cleaning
Four methods: handwashing, cleaning then disinfecting, clearing between jobs, and planning and checking cleaning.
03
Chilling
Four methods: chilled storage and display, cooling hot food, defrosting and freezing.
