सिंगापुर: भोजन तापमान नियम

“कानून” एक बाध्यकारी नियम है। “आधिकारिक मार्गदर्शन” कानून नहीं है, लेकिन निरीक्षक इसकी अपेक्षा करते हैं। “Chef Hygiene डिफ़ॉल्ट” एक ऐसा मान है जिसकी जाँच ऐप द्वारा की जाती है जहाँ कोई नियम संख्या नहीं देता है।

• कानूनEvery chiller and freezer has a working thermometer. Chilled fresh meat, thawed meat and fish to be eaten raw are kept at 0 to 4°C; dairy and other products labelled to keep chilled at 7°C or colder (Food Hygiene Regulations, reg 12 and the Schedule).
• कानूनFrozen meat at −12°C or colder and ice cream at −2°C or colder (the Schedule). Frozen meat is thawed only in a chiller at 0 to 4°C, labelled, used within 3 days and never refrozen. Chef Hygiene aims for −18°C or colder in freezers as good practice, not the law.
• आधिकारिक मार्गदर्शनSFA's advice: keep cooked food in the fridge at 4°C or colder, cook to at least 75°C for 2 minutes in the centre, keep hot food above 60°C, chill hot food to below 5°C within 4 hours, and reheat only once, to at least 75°C for 2 minutes.
• कानूनReady-to-eat food should not stay between 5°C and 60°C for more than 4 hours in all (SFA's advice for everyone). For caterers this is the law, with every catered meal labelled "FOOD READY-TO-EAT ON ... CONSUME BY ..." (reg 13A and 13B).
• Chef Hygiene डिफ़ॉल्टChef Hygiene asks for fridge checks at opening and closing. That is our choice: the law asks for a working thermometer, not a set number of checks.
