Frequently asked questions

How long can food remain in the temperature danger zone during transportation?

According to the 2-hour/4-hour rule, potentially hazardous food that has been in the temperature danger zone (between 5°C and 60°C) for less than 2 hours must be refrigerated or used immediately. If between 2-4 hours, it must be used immediately. If over 4 hours, it must be discarded.

What documentation is required for food safety compliance during transportation?

Required documentation typically includes departure and arrival times, core food temperatures at both points, corrective actions taken for temperature deviations, and staff verification signatures. These records demonstrate compliance with food safety regulations.

What corrective actions should be taken if food temperature falls outside safe ranges during transport?

Corrective actions may include adjusting refrigeration settings, transferring food to a properly functioning unit, expediting delivery, or discarding the product if it has been in the danger zone too long. All actions must be documented.
