Suiza: reglas de temperatura de los alimentos

“Ley” es una norma vinculante. “Orientación oficial” no es ley, pero los inspectores la esperan. “Chef Hygiene predeterminado” es un valor que la aplicación comprueba cuando ninguna norma especifica un número.

• Orientación oficialSwiss law sets no general fridge number: keep the cold chain unbroken (HyV Art. 24). The GVG guide says perishable food at 5°C at most, egg products at 4°C, and the maker’s own maximum comes first.
• LeyFresh and thawed raw fish, and cooked chilled crustaceans and molluscs, must be at melting ice, 2°C at most (HyV Art. 44). Mince must be chilled to 2°C or frozen (HyV Art. 29 and 31).
