Food Safety While Shopping

When shopping for food, you should choose, pack and transport it carefully to make sure it stays safe to eat. Take special care with high risk foods such as meats, poultry, smallgoods and prepared salads.

Food Safety When Cooking

Food poisoning can be minimised with good cooking techniques. Cook food to a temperature of at least 75°C or hotter and check food's internal temperature with a food thermometer. When food is cooked, it should be eaten promptly, kept hotter than 60°C

Food Safety While Storage

Incorrect storage of food can cause spoilage and food poisoning. High risk food should be kept below 5°C or above 60°C to avoid the 'temperature danger zone', where bacteria multiply fastest. High risk food includes meat, poultry, eggs, smallgoods, dairy products, cooked rice, pasta and prepared salads.

Food Safety When Eating Out

Restaurants, cafes and takeaway food outlets have a responsibility to serve food that is safe to eat. You can take basic steps to minimise the risk of food poisoning when eating out. Check that staff wear gloves and use separate tongs for handling raw and cooked foods
