food preparation/Eating and drinking

You will find resources here to support you with meal preparation, handling food safely and supporting people with nutrition.

Care should be taken when handling food:

Make sure when handling food that you have washed your hands and that any work surfaces or utensils are clean.
Check the fridge/freezer to ensure that foods are not past their ‘sell by date’.
Do not store cooked and uncooked meat together.
When preparing food make sure that chilled foods are cooked properly and that frozen food has defrosted (unless indicated on the meal that is should be cooked from frozen).
Before serving food, make sure it is piping hot.
