Arábia Saudita: regras de temperatura dos alimentos

“Lei” é uma regra vinculativa. “Orientação oficial” não é lei, mas os inspetores esperam que seja. “Chef Hygiene padrão” é um valor que o aplicativo verifica quando nenhuma regra fornece um número.

• LeiChilled food at 0 to 4°C; frozen food below −18°C, with the freezer checked at opening and closing; dry store 15 to 25°C (the Restaurant Requirements 5.5.3 and 5.5.9).
• LeiCooking to a core of 75°C, or 70°C for 2 minutes, 65°C for 10 minutes or 60°C for 45 minutes; reheating to a core of 75°C, never cooled again (5.5.6 and 5.5.8).
• LeiHot holding at 60°C or hotter, eaten within 6 hours; below 60°C, eaten within 4 hours or thrown away. Chilled food out of the fridge is eaten within 2 hours. Cooling: the core below 10°C within 2 hours, then at once to 4°C (5.5.11, 5.5.12 and 5.5.7).
• LeiDeliveries in: chilled at 4°C or colder, frozen at −18°C or colder (warmer frozen food is refused), recorded for high-risk food. Hot food delivered to customers at 63°C or hotter (MoMAH's Home Delivery Requirements 1446H).
• Chef Hygiene padrãoThe rules set no fridge-check frequency for restaurants: Chef Hygiene asks at opening and closing, like the freezer. School canteens record fridge temperatures daily in a register.
