7 Triangle Community Garden s Committee Food Handling Guidelines 2016 Food storage Always store raw meat separately from cooked/ready to eat foods. All foods should be covered or stored in sealed containers. Keep meat in a closed fridge or cool box until needed. Hand washing Always wash your hands either with warm soapy water before handling any food facilities in the Pavilion. Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw meat, before touching anything else. Antiseptic gel is considered ineffective on some pathogens, please always use warm soapy water on hand at the Pavilion. Please use gloves when handling raw meat. Do not handle anything else with these gloves and discard carefully after use. Always wash hands after handling money, and before handling food. Food preparation Ensure worktops, knives and other utensils are cleaned and if necessary disinfected thoroughly beforehand, and after use. Use different chopping boards/work surfaces/utensils for raw and ready to eat food. Ensure all assistants know which are which. Use separate utensils for raw and cooked foods and keep them separately on clean trays or boards. Use disposable cloths to clean surfaces and discard after wiping any surface that has been touched by raw meat. Cooking and serving Make sure the cooks wear an apron and use clean utensils. Keep ready-to-serve food eg cooked meat, rolls, salads, garnishes, etc completely separate from raw meat, and use separate utensils. Cook small portions at a time, turn food regularly and move it around to cook evenly. Always ensure food is cooked all the way through, piping hot, any juices run clear and no meat is pink. Ensure the grill or oven is at the optimum temperature to cook meat through without charring. Do not assume that if meat is charred on the outside it is cooked properly on the inside. (Remember, when you reheat food, always make sure it's piping hot all the way through). Do not reduce cooking times, even if people are waiting to eat. If you are short-handed, ask customers to serve themselves with ready-to-eat food, while you serve the cooked food. Ask an assistant to take money for you. Ensure that anyone taking over from you understands these principles!
