-
Can the business provide the required food supplier details and descriptor of the food?
-
Are all practicable measures taken to ensure potentially hazardous food is only received at temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius and above 60 degrees Celsius unless demonstrated that the temperature does not adversely affect the microbiological safety of the food?
-
Is potentially hazardous food stored under adequate temperature control and that food intended to be stored frozen remains frozen during storage?
-
Are all practicable measures taken to process only safe and suitable food?
-
Is stored food protected from the likelihood of contamination and under environmental conditions that do not adversely affect the microbiological safety of the food?
-
When processing food, are all necessary steps taken to prevent the likelihood of contamination and where such a step is required to reduce potential pathogens to safe levels, is the step reasonably known to achieve the microbiological safety of the food?
-
When processing potentially hazardous food not undergoing a pathogen control step, is it ensured that the time the food remains at temperatures that enable microorganism growth is minimised?
-
When cooling cooked potentially hazardous food, is it cooled from 60 degrees Celsius to 21 degrees Celsius within two hours and within a further four hours cooled from 21 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees Celsius; unless it can be demonstrated that the cooling process will not adversely affect the microbiological safety of the food?
-
When reheating previously cooked and cooled potentially hazardous food, does the process rapidly heat the food to a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius or above; unless it can be demonstrated that the process will not adversely affect the microbiological safety of the food?
-
When displaying food, are all practicable measures taken to protect the food from the likelihood of contamination?
-
When displaying unpackaged ready-to-eat food for self service, is the food effectively supervised to respond to contamination or potential contamination; are separate serving utensils or dispensing methods provided for each food; and protective barriers in place that minimise the likelihood of contamination by customers?
-
When displaying potentially hazardous food, is it displayed under temperature control and food intended to be frozen remains frozen?
-
When packaging food, is material used fit for its intended use, not likely to cause food contamination and there is no likelihood that the food could become contaminated during the process?
-
When transporting food, is all food protected from the likelihood of contamination, potentially hazardous food transported under temperature control and food intended to be frozen remains frozen during transportation?
-
Is food for disposal kept separate until it is destroyed, returned, processed suitably, or ascertained to to safe and suitable?
-
Is food for disposal that is kept separate clearly identified as either returned, recalled, or unsafe / unsuitable as the case may be?
