With the start of the season’s holidays don’t get caught up in the frenzy of food buying and storing excess foods that you would normally not purchase. As with all raw food this needs to be stored correctly and safely to avoid any food poisoning over the festive season.
Storage
Organize your fridge to ensure that all raw meats are on the bottom shelves. If you are tight on space, place drinks in a covered box/case outside the back door. Our chilly weather will keep them nice and cool.
Food should be cooked thoroughly to kill food poisoning bacteria. The core temperature should reach 75°C instantaneously or equivalent, e.g. 70°C for two minutes. The temperature is taken as the centre or thickest part of the food.
Keep hot food above 63°C (for example in a bain marie). This is outside the danger zone (5°C - 63°C). Bacteria grow best in warm temperatures, approximately 25°C – 40°C. Lukewarm food is dangerous as it is a perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. If cooked food is not stored above 63°C, it should be used up within two hours of cooking
