hygiene and safety regulations

provided to meet statutory standards for food production and processing
activities.
- Ensure that all of the kitchen’s managers and
the facility’s food service assistants have undergone statutory health
examinations at the City’s general hospitals or the district’s healthcare
service providers. Health examinations shall focus on requirements concerning
food industry, processing and business activities.
- Ensure that all employees directly engaged in
food production and processing activities are fully equipped with personal
protective equipment, and conform to regulatory good practice guidelines for
personal sanitation.
- Ensure that all of the facility’s managers and

received raw food materials or ingredients meet statutory requirements

- The Step 2 includes 1 process whereby food
hygiene and safety conditions are checked from the primary processing, complete
cooking and dispense stage to the stage of commencement of eating.
- Pre- or post-processed food must be assessed
by an organoleptic testing with specific timelines for each stage.
2.2.3. Step 3: Examine retained food samples
- Check retention of food samples for the
purpose of investigation into any possible food poisoning cases.
- Ready meal processing facilities are required
to retain 2 samples (1 sample stored at a facility and the other stored at a
food provider) while only 1 food sample is retained at the kitchen of each
entity. This examination focuses on determination of the time of food sample
retention and elimination.
2.3. Task assignment and arrangements for
implementation of self-assessment performed at each facility
- Kitchens: Assign one employee to perform
self-assessment and record results thereof by completing the three-step
self-assessment form adopted by the Ministry of Health.
- Examining officers: The entity that has its
kitchen must assign its employees (internal medical officers or managers or
those that do not fall under the management of the kitchen) to verify the
kitchen’s compliance with the three-step self-assessment guidance.
- The record of verification prepared by
examining officers must be attested by the head of the entity or the direct
manager.
