Explanatory Notes and Definitions (Food Standards Code Chapter 3 Standards 3.2.2 and 3.2.3)

  • This assessment report is based on guidance in the Safe Food Australia (2001) publication: A Guide to the Food Safety Standards. The Guide should be consulted if assistance with interpretation of the food safety standards is required. The assessment is set up as a checklist. It might not be possible to observe all the areas in a single inspection. Despite the presence of a list each item is a single issue of compliance. The assessment focuses on the foodborne illness risk factors identified by the US Centres for Disease Control. The key targets for inspection are: inadequate cooling and cold holding temperatures; food prepared ahead of planned service; inadequate hot holding temperatures; poor personal hygiene and infected food handlers; inadequate reheating and inadequate cleaning of equipment.

  • Health and Hygiene Requirements (q. 3-4)

    Thorough hand washing includes using the designated hand washing facility to wash hands, fingers and wrists using warm water and soap for a recommended 15 seconds, thorough rinsing of hands under warm water and drying thoroughly on single use towel.

  • A food handler must wash his or her hands whenever their hands are likely to be a source of contamination of food. This includes: before working with ready to eat foods after handling raw food, immediately after using the toilet, before commencing or recommencing food handling, immediately after smoking, coughing, sneezing, using a hankerchief or tissue, eating, drinking or using tobacco, and after touching his or her hair, scalp or body opening.

  • Cleaning and Sanitising (q. 5-6)

    Food premises and fixtures, fittings and equipment must be maintained to a standard of cleanliness where there is no accumulation of:
    a) garbage, except in garbage containers,
    b) recycled matter, except in containers,
    c) food waste,
    d) dirt,
    e) grease, or
    f) other visible matter.

  • Clean and sanitary condition means a food contact surface or utensil is:
    a) clean, and
    b) has had applied to it heat and/or chemicals or other process so that the number of microorganisms has been reduced to a safe level.

  • Food handling controls (q. 18-23)

    15. Protection from the possibility of contamination includes appropriately covering food so that it is protected from potential contamination sources and includes keeping ready to eat foods separated from raw foods.

  • 16. ‘Potentially hazardous food’ is food that has to be kept at certain temperatures to minimise the growth of any pathogenic microorganisms that may be present in the food or to prevent the formation of toxins in the food. Examples of potentially hazardous food include meat, seafood, dairy and foods such as salads and some cut fruits.

  • 16. Temperature control means maintaining potentially hazardous food at a temperature of:
    a) 5°C or below, or
    b) 60°C or above, or
    c) another temperature if the food business demonstrates that maintenance of the food at this temperature for the period of time for which it will be maintained, will not adversely affect the microbiological safety of the food.

  • 18. A food business must when cooling cooked potentially hazardous food, cool the food:
    a) within two hours – from 60°C to 21°C, and
    b) within a further four hours – from 21°C to 5°C.

  • 19. A food business must when reheating previously cooked and cooled potentially hazardous food to hold it hot, use a process that rapidly heats the food to a temperature of 60°C or above, e.g. heating in an oven, microwave or on a stove top.

  • 20. A food business must, when displaying unpackaged ready to eat food for self-service:
    a) ensure the display of food is effectively supervised so that any food that is contaminated by a customer or is likely to have been contaminated is removed from display without delay,
    b) provide separate serving utensils for each food or other dispensing methods that minimise the likelihood of the food being contaminated, and
    c) provide protective barriers that minimise the likelihood of contamination by customers.
