Independent Supermarket Commercial Refrigeration Repair Maintenance
There are many different types of business when it comes to the service of food.
As a Independent Supermarket, to help stay profitable and keep your business running all year long, it is important that your refrigeration and air conditioning is kept in a good state of repair, as defective and poorly maintained equipment can result in serious food contamination risks. Doing this will also help your business comply with Food safety and local council requirements.
DID YOU KNOW?
“The temperature range between 5°C and 60°C is known as Temperature Danger Zone for Food.
This is because in this zone food poisoning bacteria can grow to unsafe levels that can make you sick.”
Remember – Keeping cold food cold
Keep your fridge below 5°C. At these temperatures, most food poisoning bacteria stop growing or they grow slowly. Use a fridge thermometer to check that the temperature stays around 4 to 5°C.
Frozen foods should be kept ideally at -18 degrees Celsius and when thawing, it should be stored in a refrigerator that reaches no more than 5 degrees Celsius until it is ready to be prepared. To be safe, record measurements daily (click here to download our temperature monitoring chart), and if you notice any patterns of temperature fluctuation contact our team for immediate advice – acting quick can be the difference between food contamination and food safety, plus the headache of having to throw out good food due to a faulty refrigerator!
Ensure everyone on your team is well aware of these temperature and measurement requirements and contact our team if you have any questions at all.
