Storage conditions for specific food types
When storing food, you must ensure that:
➢ Food is protected from contamination and stored in sanitary conditions
➢ Food is stored under correct environmental conditions (e.g. lighting and humidity)
➢ Potentially hazardous food is stored at the correct temperature (i.e. below 5C and above 60C or frozen).
Each specific food type may have specific storage conditions that are necessary to prevent contamination or the growth of harmful bacteria or other micro-organisms.
Other considerations for storage may include:
➢ Organising storage, e.g. keeping food types separate, avoiding cross-contamination
➢ Proper labell
