The 4 C’s of good food hygiene are 4 simple rules to help keep the kitchen safe from food-borne illnesses: 

  • Cleaning – ensuring your surfaces, utensils and hands are thoroughly clean, especially after handling raw meat, poultry and fish. 
  • Cooking – ensuring cooking times and temperatures are followed correctly. 
  • Cross-contamination – keeping raw and cooked food separate at all times. 
  • Chilling – ensuring your food is chilled correctly. 

Our online Food Safety Level 2 Awareness course covers these in much more depth and detail.
