 Food Tips

Hand sanitizer or good handwashing must be used before handling, preparing and the eating of food.  

1. Cover food at all times and store above the ground. Use food covers (for example, net curtaining) to cover food that cannot be easily sealed in containers or covered by glad-wrap. Some Groups and / or Zones use boxes or Camp Storage to store food.
2. Please keep all chilled, perishable foods cold. This could be in a Chilly Bin or Camp Fridge. The QM Store will be able to help with freezing chilly pads etc.
3. Encourage water instead of cordial at meals.
4. Have plenty of hot water available when preparing food so that preparation surfaces and utensils may be thoroughly washed down between the preparation of meat and vegetables.
5. Ensure kitchen is clean and tidy at all times.
6. Please ensure your rubbish bins are sealed at all times and kept out of the sun.
