This new version of the Q&A addresses a number of issues that have arisen since the original document was published in June 2011. Among the issues addressed are:
- expanded information on the scientific basis of the guidance
- a definition of ‘complex equipment’
- detailed advice on ‘temporary clean areas’ applicable to ALL food businesses
- advice on the preparation and use of fruit and vegetables for ready-to-eat foods
- advice on the use of probe thermometers
FSA will continue to respond to all enquiries about the guidance, and has set up a dedicated mailbox at :- [email protected].
The Q&A will continue to be updated when new issues emerge.
