Romania: regler for mattemperatur

«Lov» er en bindende regel. «Offisiell veiledning» er ikke lov, men inspektører forventer det. «Chef Hygiene standard» er en verdi appen sjekker mot der ingen regel oppgir et tall.

• LovCold finished dishes are kept at 8°C or colder until served (Order 976/1998, art. 37 c). This 8°C is only for cold prepared dishes.
• LovWhere one store room is used, the fridge has a separate raw meat compartment at 4°C or colder (Order 976/1998, art. 38 b). ANSVSA advises 0–4°C for food of animal origin, and Chef Hygiene aims for 4°C.
• LovQuick-frozen food: −18°C or colder, with short rises of up to 3°C in transport and display (Order ANSVSA 134/2010).
• LovHot dishes are kept at 60°C or hotter until served (Order 976/1998, art. 37 c).
• Chef Hygiene standardChef Hygiene checks hot food against 63°C, the figure in the ANBCT chefs’ guide (2023) and the ANPC guide (2024). It is stricter than the law and meets both.
• Offisiell veiledningCooling: the law only says to cool food as quickly as possible. The ANBCT guide says to 10–15°C within 90 minutes, then below 7°C within a further 150 minutes.
• Offisiell veiledningReheating: the centre reaches 72°C with at least 2 minutes of even boiling, and food is reheated only once (ANBCT guide). Cooking: at least 75°C before hot holding.
• Chef Hygiene standardDeliveries: Romanian law gives no number, so the temperature on the label applies. Chef Hygiene checks chilled deliveries against 4°C and flags frozen ones above −15°C.
• LovMeals for organised groups, such as tourists or events: keep a sample of each dish for 48 hours at 4°C in a separate fridge (Order 976/1998, art. 37 e).
