Austrija: pravila o temperaturi hrane

„Zakon“ je obvezujuće pravilo. „Službene smjernice“ nisu zakon, ali inspektori ih očekuju. „Chef Hygiene zadano“ je vrijednost koju aplikacija provjerava tamo gdje nijedno pravilo ne daje broj.

• Službene smjerniceChilled food: 0–4°C, with a tolerance up to 6°C. Chef Hygiene aims for 4°C and flags readings above 6°C. No Austrian law sets restaurant temperatures; this is the ministry’s guideline (Beilage 1b).
• Službene smjerniceRecommended maximum for restaurants: poultry, rabbit and raw mince 4°C, other meat 7°C, offal 3°C. Raw fish is kept at melting-ice temperature. A fridge with mixed food is set to the lowest temperature needed.
• Službene smjerniceFrozen food: −18°C, with a tolerance up to −15°C.
• Službene smjerniceHot food: as hot as possible, in any case above 70°C. A short drop is tolerated if the food stays safe. The staff leaflet says at least 75°C for hot food on offer.
• Službene smjerniceCooling: cool food that is not eaten at once quickly to 0–4°C (6°C at most), if possible within 2 hours, and keep it there.
• Službene smjerniceReheating: a core temperature of at least 75°C for several minutes.
• Službene smjerniceCooking: hot dishes with raw egg reach 75°C in the core. Mince, poultry and fish must be well heated through; the guideline gives no number.
• Službene smjerniceSalads on a buffet for more than 2 hours must be kept chilled.
• Službene smjerniceDeliveries: refuse frozen food above −15°C, and chilled food more than 3°C above the product’s own set temperature. Chef Hygiene uses 7°C as one number for chilled deliveries.
