Learn the legal requirements for reheating food safely, plus how Pilla and AI help you build reheating procedures into your system.
Join Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified food safety consultant, for a session on reheating food safely.
In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, reheated food must reach a minimum core temperature of 75°c. In Scotland, the requirement is 82°c. These temperatures must be verified by probe at the thickest part.
Each time food passes through the danger zone, bacteria have an opportunity to multiply. The one-reheat rule limits this exposure. Food that has been reheated once must be served or discarded and cannot be cooled and reheated again.
Hot holding equipment is designed to maintain temperature, not raise it. It does not generate enough heat to bring food from fridge temperature to 75°c quickly enough, meaning food spends too long in the danger zone.
Reheated food should be served within 2 hours. If not consumed within this window, it must be discarded. It cannot be returned to cold storage for later use.
See how reheating food safely fits into your wider food safety management system in Pilla. We walk through how to build this into your system so that your team has clear processes, accountability, and a documented trail that proves compliance.
Learn how AI can speed up this process and connect Pilla to your other tools, giving you a much more joined up system across your business.
Bring your questions, we'll be answering them live throughout.
