<div align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Food
movement laws. Food safety scares in recent years have placed a great deal
of emphasis on food safety & hygiene. Since 1995 temperature control of
food, other than that cooked at home for private consumption, has been subject
to regulations. These regulations cover the following stages in the food
production chain : - Preparation - Storage, handling & transporting - Processing,
selling & packaging - Distribution, manufacturing & supplying. In addition
to the areas mentioned above some sectors generally those manufacturing
products of animal origin like dairies or slaughterhouses have to follow
their own product specific regulations. These regulations clearly require
that transportation used to move foods or products used for vending must
incorporate the capability of controlling the temperature of the products
being carried. <br>
<br>
Foods that need temperature controls. In general the regulations require
temperature control for all types of food, which without control might support
the growth of harmful bacteria or the formation of poisons. Such food stuffs
are likely to fall into a number of categories namely : - Dairy Products
- Cooked Products - All foods comprising or containing eggs, meat, fish,
milk or their products - Cereals (including rice), pulses and vegetables
or sandwiches which contain these ingredients. - Smoked or cured ready to
eat meat or fish - Prepared ready to eat foods - Uncooked or partly cooked
pastry and dough products such as pizzas or fresh pasta containing meat,
fish or substitutes or vegetables. In line with labelling regulations, packaged
food products should have a special storage instructions on their labels
and these will indicate whether or not the products need to be kept chilled.
<br>
<br>
The essential requirement is that: "No person shall keep any raw materials,
ingredients, intermediate products and finished products likely to support
the growth of harmful bacteria or the formation of toxins at temperatures
which would result in a risk to health." In addition certain foods may have
a requirement for specific chill and hot holding temperatures. In most circumstances
maintaining temperatures for the relevant foods at or below 8o Celsius or
at or above 63o Celsius will satisfy the requirements. However certain,
generally specialist products, will require their own specific temperature
handling. Further more certain exempt foods may in specific circumstances
be exempt from the 8o Celsius limit. <br>
<br>
These may include : - Foods which can be kept at room temperature for their
shelf life - Food which goes through a preservation process e.g. canning
or dehydration, there are however some cans of ham or similar cooked meats
that may only be pasteurised, these must be kept chilled - Food which must
be ripened or matured at room temperature e.g. soft or mould ripened cheese.
However, once fully ripened or matured, the food must be stored and or displayed
at or below 8o Celsius. - Raw food intended for cooking (or other processing)
which will ensure the food is fit for human consumption - Mail Order Food
although exempt from the 8o Celsius control is required to be supplied at
a temperature that will not pose a health risk Some tolerance is allowed
where food is being loaded or unloaded from a refrigerated vehicle for transfer
to or from food premises where there are unavoidable circumstances, provided
there is evidence of good management practices. <br>
<br>
There are also a very limited number of other permissible circumstances
that relate to the displaying and serving of food or specific manufacturer
recommendations on holding temperatures. The information contained on this
page is solely advisory and concentrates on the major regulatory provisions.
They are derived from a variety of sources and are intended for general
guidance. If more specific advice is required, we recommend the Department
of Health site : http://www.doh.gov.uk This site also incorporates a copy
of the regulations themselves. Alternatively you can contact your local
council's Environmental Health Services for further information. </font></div>
