Gibraltar: regulile de temperatură a alimentelor

„Legea” este o regulă obligatorie. „Îndrumările oficiale” nu sunt lege, dar inspectorii o așteaptă. „Chef Hygiene implicit” este o valoare pe care aplicația o verifică acolo unde nicio regulă nu oferă un număr.

• DreptHigh-risk food must be kept below 50°F, which is 10°C. This is looser than the UK or Malta (Regulations 1977, reg. 25(2)–(3)). Chef Hygiene checks the fridge against 5°C, its own safer target.
• DreptHot food must be kept at 145°F (62.7°C) or more. Chef Hygiene uses 63°C. Food on sale, or brought in within 4 hours before opening, is exempt. The law sets no other grace time (Regulations 1977, reg. 25(3)–(4)).
• DreptIf hot food falls below 145°F, cool it below 10°C as quickly as reasonably practicable, then keep it below 10°C. The law gives no time. Chef Hygiene suggests 2 hours.
• DreptIncoming high-risk food must be at 145°F or more, or below 50°F, without avoidable delay (Regulations 1977, reg. 25(2)). Chef Hygiene suggests a safer limit of 8°C for chilled deliveries.
• Îndrumări oficialeFrozen food: −18°C or colder. This is standard practice, with no Gibraltar rule number.
• Chef Hygiene implicitCooking and reheating: the law gives no core temperature. Chef Hygiene checks 75°C in the core.
• Chef Hygiene implicitCold display: the law gives no time limit. Chef Hygiene suggests a 4-hour limit.
