What is Included in a Cafe Risk Assessment?

The cafe risk assessment primarily focuses on food, as it is one of the most significant risks in a cafe. Consumers may suffer illness or food poisoning from cross-contamination of raw and ready-to-eat foodstuffs.

  • All foodstuffs are to be stored in sealed containers when in the fridge
  • Cooked foods and salad should be stored above raw meat, seafood and eggs
  • All storage containers are to be sanitised before use
  • Store eggs in original containers on the refrigerator shelves
  • Ensure refrigerator temperature is correct
