Complete the checklist given below. Checks Yes No Check that the temperature of potentially hazardous foods received from all suppliers is 5°C or below for cold food and 60°C or above for hot food; x Check that frozen food is received frozen hard (not partially thawed); x Check that packaging isn’t damaged and that food has no immediate signs of contamination; x Check that all products are within their ‘best before’ or ‘use by’ date; x 5 | P a g e
