ਨਿਊਜ਼ੀਲੈਂਡ: ਭੋਜਨ ਦੇ ਤਾਪਮਾਨ ਦੇ ਨਿਯਮ

“ਕਾਨੂੰਨ” ਇੱਕ ਲਾਜ਼ਮੀ ਨਿਯਮ ਹੈ। “ਅਧਿਕਾਰਤ ਮਾਰਗਦਰਸ਼ਨ” ਕਾਨੂੰਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਨਿਰੀਖਕ ਇਸਦੀ ਉਮੀਦ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ। “Chef Hygiene ਡਿਫਾਲਟ” ਇੱਕ ਮੁੱਲ ਹੈ ਜਿਸਦੀ ਜਾਂਚ ਐਪ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਨਿਯਮ ਨੰਬਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ।

• ਕਾਨੂੰਨChilled food at 5°C or colder, checked every day with a calibrated thermometer, probe, infrared or automated system, not the fridge's own display. There is no lower limit (MPI's template Food Control Plan).
• Chef Hygiene ਡਿਫਾਲਟFrozen food stays frozen solid: the template names no freezer temperature, and freezer temperatures need not be written down. Chef Hygiene aims for −18°C or colder and flags anything warmer than −12°C as good practice, not the law.
• ਕਾਨੂੰਨPoultry, minced meat and liver: 65°C for 15 minutes, 70°C for 3 minutes or 75°C for 30 seconds in the thickest part; other food cooked thoroughly. Record one item a batch, or prove the method (3 good checks in a row, then one batch a week).
• ਕਾਨੂੰਨHot food above 60°C, checked every 2 hours if it is held longer than 2 hours; below 60°C, reheat it to above 75°C. Food between 5°C and 60°C: under 2 hours, chill or use it; 2 to 4 hours, use it but never chill it; over 4 hours, throw it out.
• ਕਾਨੂੰਨCooling from 60°C to 21°C (or room temperature, whichever is colder) within 2 hours, then to 5°C within 4 more hours; over 6 hours in all, throw it out. Reheating to at least 75°C. Deliveries in: chilled at 5°C or colder, hot above 60°C, frozen frozen solid.
• Chef Hygiene ਡਿਫਾਲਟThe plan asks for a daily fridge check: Chef Hygiene asks at opening and closing.
