Learn the rules for storing food safely at the correct temperatures, plus how Pilla and AI help you build storage procedures into your system.
Join Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified food safety consultant, for a session on food storage.
Understand
Fridge temperature should target 1-5°c with a critical limit of 8°c. Freezers should maintain -18°c with a critical limit of -15°c. The danger zone between 5-63°c is where bacteria multiply rapidly.
If raw meat is stored above ready-to-eat food, drip contamination can transfer harmful bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli onto food that will not be cooked again before serving. This is one of the most common causes of cross-contamination.
All stored food must be covered with food-grade containers or wrappings. Using cloths or tea towels is unacceptable. Every item must be labelled with contents, date prepared, and use-by date.
Hot food should never be placed directly into a fridge as it raises the temperature for all stored items. Food must be cooled to below 8°c before refrigeration. Opened cans should be decanted into food-grade containers.
