Wash Your Hands
- Wet hands with warm running water
- Apply soap and lather well
- Scrub for 20 seconds — backs of hands, between fingers, under nails, thumbs
- Rinse thoroughly
- Dry with a clean paper towel
Always wash: before handling food · after raw meat, fish or eggs · after the bin, cleaning chemicals or handling money · after breaks and the toilet.

Safe Temperatures
- Monitor and record temperatures as set out in your food-safety procedures
- Cool cooked food quickly, using small portions or shallow containers, then refrigerate promptly
- Do not refreeze thawed raw food unless it has first been cooked safely; cool it promptly before freezing
- *Use a validated time/temperature combination for your food. Reheat until steaming hot throughout. In Scotland, CookSafe specifies reheating to at least 82°C, or an appropriate equivalent where that would spoil the food. Reheat the finished dish only once.

Stop Allergen Cross-Contact
- Separate boards, knives and utensils for allergy orders; do not promise allergen-free food without verified controls
- Clean surfaces and equipment before preparing an allergy order
- Wash hands and change gloves between tasks
- Store allergen ingredients sealed, labelled and below/away from others
- Beware shared fryers — oil carries allergens between foods
- Never guess — check the allergen matrix, and if unsure, ask the person in charge
