Food Safety Posters
Safe food storage in professional kitchens is essential for
maintaining public health and an establishment’s reputation. Failure to adhere
to proven food storage techniques may result in the spread of preventable
diseases via numerous bacteria. Ensure your professional kitchen is compliant with
safe food storage practices by training staff with the current range of educational
posters. These will provide the consistent reminders required to upskill and
maintain a safe standard and provide valuable data to ensure food is kept at a
safe temperature.
Storage Temperatures
A food storage temperature chart provides clear and concise
information on the subject of safe food storage temperatures. Displaying this
information is essential for encouraging safe monitoring practices which reduce
the likelihood of foodborne illness spreading. Always ensure your freezers and
fridges are properly maintained as per manufacturers’ instructions and have
your food storage temperature chart prominently displayed for maximum impact.
Personal Hygiene
Having two simple charts close to handwashing facilities
will help to ensure your kitchen is never responsible for spreading foodborne
disease. The first chart indicates the proper handwashing technique and the
second runs through a proven method to sanitise hands before they come into
contact with food. Place them prominently in washrooms and near sinks in your
kitchen.
Stock Rotation
Effective stock rotation will save your establishment time
and money. It will also help to prevent the spread of foodborne illness. There
are numerous posters available to assist in reminding your staff about the
importance of best practice in stock rotation while ensuring they understand
how to efficiently accomplish it too. These range from posters about
dissolvable labels, to FIFO (First In, First Out) and how to correctly date and
describe stored foods.
Food Handling
Posters for safe food handling should also be prominent in
your professional kitchen. These exist for colour coding of implements, correct
cooking temperatures and hot and cold thermometer calibrations. These simple
and consistent reminders will help to ensure your kitchen functions to a high
standard and public safety is always top of mind.
