Storing and transporting food

When you store and transport food make sure that:

  • food is in packaging or containers that protect it from contamination and is marked as ‘for food contact’
  • you use separate fridges for raw and ready-to-eat food if possible or store raw food below ready-to-eat food in the same fridge
  • chilled and frozen food is kept at the right temperature during transport and storage
  • label all ingredients to avoid cross-contamination especially food that contains allergens
