Physical and chemical contamination

[عبد الرحمن الجارحي]

Protect unwrapped food by
covering it or keeping it in suitable
display equipment.
It is not necessary to provide
covers for unwrapped whole fruit or
vegetables. However, you should
keep these foods away from ready
to eat foods

why

This helps to protect the food from:
• objects falling into the food e.g. hairs
• people touching the food or sneezing or
coughing over it
• pests such as flies
• cross-contamination

[عبد الرحمن الجارحي]

Always clear and clean as you
go and take care to throw away
packaging, string, etc, as soon as
you remove it.


why


Keeping surfaces clear and clean will help
prevent objects getting into food, as well as
preventing the spread of bacteria.

[عبد الرحمن الجارحي]

Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on how to use and
store cleaning chemicals.
Store cleaning chemicals separately
from food and make sure they are
clearly labelled.
