Stringent due diligence is the way to protect your customers and protect your business.
The essential daily kitchen due diligence records are:-
- Delivery Schedule – Record all your deliveries to demonstrate temperature, dates, packaging, labels were all checked
- Fridge and freezer temperatures twice daily
- Core cooking temperature of a selection of high risk protein foods daily
- Cooling times and temperatures of all high risk foods cooled – this is an essential record for your due diligence as cooling food safely is a high risk area
- Kitchen Cleaning & Daily Checks
- Allergen matrix is up to date and accurate
Alert
Ensure your kitchen procedures are in place, your staff are trained (including seasonal staff) and your kitchen paperwork is completed daily.
