Gibraltar: ruoan lämpötilasäännöt

”Laki” on sitova sääntö. ”Virallinen ohjeistus” ei ole laki, mutta tarkastajat odottavat sitä. ”Chef Hygiene oletusarvo” on arvo, jota sovellus tarkistaa, vaikka mikään sääntö ei antaisi numeroa.

• LakiHigh-risk food must be kept below 50°F, which is 10°C. This is looser than the UK or Malta (Regulations 1977, reg. 25(2)–(3)). Chef Hygiene checks the fridge against 5°C, its own safer target.
• LakiHot food must be kept at 145°F (62.7°C) or more. Chef Hygiene uses 63°C. Food on sale, or brought in within 4 hours before opening, is exempt. The law sets no other grace time (Regulations 1977, reg. 25(3)–(4)).
• LakiIf hot food falls below 145°F, cool it below 10°C as quickly as reasonably practicable, then keep it below 10°C. The law gives no time. Chef Hygiene suggests 2 hours.
• LakiIncoming high-risk food must be at 145°F or more, or below 50°F, without avoidable delay (Regulations 1977, reg. 25(2)). Chef Hygiene suggests a safer limit of 8°C for chilled deliveries.
• Virallinen ohjeistusFrozen food: −18°C or colder. This is standard practice, with no Gibraltar rule number.
• Chef Hygiene oletusarvoCooking and reheating: the law gives no core temperature. Chef Hygiene checks 75°C in the core.
• Chef Hygiene oletusarvoCold display: the law gives no time limit. Chef Hygiene suggests a 4-hour limit.
