Monaco: regole sulla temperatura degli alimenti

“Legge” è una norma vincolante. “Linee guida ufficiali” non sono legge, ma gli ispettori se le aspettano. “Chef Hygiene predefinito” è un valore che l’app controlla quando nessuna norma fornisce un numero.

• LeggeChilled food has a legal maximum for each food: minced meat 2°C, offal 3°C, meat preparations 4°C, poultry and game 4°C, fresh fish and cooked shellfish 2°C, pre-prepared chilled meals 3°C, very perishable food 4°C, other perishable food 8°C (AM 2017-102, Annex I).
• LeggeFrozen: ice cream, minced meat and fish products at −18°C. Other frozen food at −12°C (AM 2017-102, Annex I). Chef Hygiene checks −18°C for all.
• LeggeHot food must be kept at 63°C or more (AM 2017-102, Annex I).
• LeggeCooling: the core must not stay between 63°C and 10°C for more than 2 hours. Then store at 0 to 3°C (AM 2017-102, Annex IV, point 1).
• LeggeReheating: no more than 1 hour between 10°C and serving temperature, never below 63°C, and eat it the same day (AM 2017-102, Annex IV, point 3).
• LeggeCold dishes are kept at 0 to 3°C. They may be out of the cold at most 2 hours before serving, if at 10°C or less. Chilled pre-prepared dishes keep at most 3 days after production without a shelf-life study, with a use-by date on each pack (AM 2017-102, Annex IV, points 2 and 4).
• Linee guida ufficialiCooking: Monaco law gives no core temperature for normal kitchens. Chef Hygiene checks 70°C for 2 minutes. The operator should justify the figure in the HACCP plan.
