Why Is Safe Meat Storage So Important?
The Importance Of Safe Meat Storage
Aside from potential losses, food poisoning is the real issue when it comes to fresh produce that has been incorrectly stored, prepared, handled, or cooked. By prioritising the storing process, you can always ensure high-quality products. This may even be your business depending on the sector you operate in, which is why following the right procedures and having systems in place is essential across the entire supply chain. The golden rule of meat storage is that if you’re in doubt, it’s best to throw it out.
The Best Procedures For Meat Handling And Storage
When handling and storing meat, it’s essential that your business follows all health and safety guidelines and regulations as set out by the health authorities. Meat is considered a high-risk food due to its capacity to lead to food poisoning, so it is essential to store it at 5 °C or below. Create a system for checking and observing production dates on any food products, and when handling the item, ensure that clean, sterilised gloves are used at all times. The right container can make a world of difference, so investing in high-quality options is something that should be seriously considered.
