İzlanda: yiyecek sıcaklığı kuralları

“Kanun”, bağlayıcı bir kuraldır. “Resmi kılavuz” kanun değildir, ancak denetçiler bunu bekler. “Chef Hygiene varsayılan”, hiçbir kuralın sayı vermediği durumlarda uygulamanın kontrol ettiği bir değerdir.

• Resmi kılavuzChilled food (kælihitastig): 0–4°C. Cold rooms should be no higher than 4°C.
• Resmi kılavuzFrozen food (frystihitastig): −18°C or colder.
• Resmi kılavuzHot holding: at least 60°C. In a hot counter, above 60°C and no longer than 2 hours.
• Resmi kılavuzCooking: core temperature above 75°C for chicken, minced meat, stews and similar dishes. Burgers and other minced meat must reach 75°C at the core.
• Resmi kılavuzReheating: above 75°C.
• Resmi kılavuzCooling: cool cooked food in shallow containers to below 10°C within 3 hours, then put it in the fridge. Leftovers are cooled the same way, then dated and frozen.

• Resmi kılavuzDeliveries: chilled 0–4°C, frozen −18°C or colder, hot food at least 60°C. Measure and record on receipt. Reykjavík’s canteen handbook: 5–7°C means complain to the supplier, above 7°C means send it back.
