The Food Standards Agency has today published the third edition of the Q&A on its guidance document E.coli O157: control of cross-contamination.
This new version of the Q&A addresses a number of issues that have arisen since the publication of the second edition in November 2011.
Among the issues addressed are:
- an update on the extension of Remedial Action Notices as an enforcement power
- advice on the use of the same food preparation sink for raw and ready-to-eat foods
- clarification of when worktops are considered to be non-food contact surfaces
- whether a change of use from raw to ready-to-eat foods is possible for ‘complex equipment’
- advice on the cleaning of probes
