Requirements for the operation of a temporary food stall

Food temperature control

  1. All hot food must be kept above 60°C. All cold food must be kept below 5°C.
  2. All frozen food must be kept below (minus) -18°C i.e.: hard frozen.
  3. Chilled food intended to be served hot must be rapidly reheated to 750 C or above.
  4. All takeaway food prepared at the food stall must be sold immediately unless there is a suitable food warmer or display cabinet in which to keep the food either hot or cold.
  5. Refrigeration facilities must be large enough to hold Potentially Hazardous Foods at 50C or below at all times. This may require the use of portable cool rooms.
  6. Provide a thermometer that is able to measure the core temperature of food.
