NOTES FROM FOOD HYGEINE SESSION

 

High risk factors and foods

 

1. Ready to eat
2. High in proteins
3. Moist
4. Require strict temperature and time control

If foods fit into the above categories they are a high risk food

 

Examples;

 

Salmon for example is a high risk food when consuming because you might eat it raw versus chicken which would be a lower risk once cooked and eating. you wouldn't eat raw chicken.

 

The above refers to consumption only.

 

Dry rice is not a risk where cooked rice is incredibly high risk.
Chocolate is very low risk, no cooking required etc, sugars and fats preserve the bar for years.
Cooked cheeseburger - Because it is all the above things it could be high risk
Smoked salmon - Ticks all 4 boxes because you can also eat it raw or would its high risk
cold cooked pasta - Whole wheat and high in protein actually makes this high risk
