a) Store food: Storing food is very important part of
food safety, as correct method of storing can help to stop growing bacteria in
food. Some food should be stored in the fridge. Therefore, we need to keep the
fridge temperature below 5⁰c. Avoid food temperature danger zone (5⁰c-63⁰c). All
food must be stored by label and date. Cooked food must be stored with cover on
and separated from raw meat.
b) Maximise hygiene when handling food: Wash hands
before handling food. Wear apron and food handling gloves before handling food.
There are colour coded chopping board for different uses. We should use right
chopping board to cut foods. We should use spoon and tong to serve foods.
c) Dispose of food: Food must be disposed properly as it
can be used for different purpose. Therefore, we can use food caddy bin to
dispose of food. Commercial waste service can turn them into fertilizer. If we
do not dispose food properly, then it may be inviting wild animals, pests and
insects in our environment.
