Sensory evaluation of dishes in production and putting into circulation
(1) Foods showing sensory changes, in particular changes in colour, taste or odour, indicative of microbiological spoils or chemicals, are assessed as disabled and cannot be put into circulation.
(2) Feedingstuffs showing sensory defects, such as bleaching, undercooking and oversalting, and foods with inappropriate confusion or inappropriate use of food in terms of dietary, physiological and specific consumer requirements are assessed as disabled and cannot be put into circulation.
Putting into circulation, distribution and transport of food
§ 25
(1) When put into circulation, transport and distribution, the dishes must be protected against microbial contamination, contamination or other health disturbance.
(2) Hot meals intended for direct consumption shall be served immediately after manufacture, but not more than 3 hours after completion of heat treatment. To this time, the time required for finishing dishes, loading into shipping packages, transport and delivery shall be counted. If this time condition for delivery cannot be ensured, the meals for delivery must be gradually imported or refrigerated or frozen.
(3) The temperature of the food + 70 ° C with a tolerance of not more than 3 ° C shall be maintained during the output, distribution and transport of warm meals.
(4) At the time it is administered to the consumer, warm food must be at least + 63 ° C for consumption.
(5) Hot meals not delivered within the time limit referred to in paragraph 2 shall be immediately excluded from further use in catering services; It is therefore not possible to store, heat, cool or freeze them further after this period.
§ 26
(1) Individual types of dishes can only be added to the dispensary by replacement of gastropods. The used gastropods must always be washed after removal of the rest of the food before further filling.
(2) Feedingstuffs must be protected from contact with the consumer or other contamination when exposed.
(3) Self-service dispensers (counters, carts) intended for the cutting of food for consumption by the consumer must be located in such a way that they are not near contaminating sources and allow consumers to have good access to food. Self-service dispensing equipment shall be technically and constructively designed to ensure the preservation of food at specified temperatures and to protect food from possible mechanical contamination during cutting and contamination within the consumer's respiratory zone. The location and number of gastro-containers with dishes in the dispenser must allow easy access to the consumer and create the shortest handling distance possible. The tools must be functionally and in size so as to allow easy handling of the dishes and must ensure that the part which comes into contact with the consumer's hands does not come into contact with the contents of the gastro-vessel.
