Food Safety & Hygiene
Food Safety and Hygiene in the Canteen
All canteens have a responsibility to provide safe food. Safe food means that it is prepared, cooked, transported and served in such a way as to retain nutrients, and to minimise bacterial contamination and growth. Handling food poorly can cause food poisoning. It can also reduce the quality of the food being served. In this section you will find everything you need to know on food safety and hygiene in the school canteen.
