TIPS WHEN EATING OUT Here are some tips when choosing a restaurant. Good Signs: - Hot food is served piping hot
- Cold food is served cold
- Self-service fridges are cold
- Heated display cabinets are hot
- A fresh batch of food is brought out when a batch is finished
- Staff hygiene certificates displayed
- Premises displays Eat Safe Award
Danger Signs: - Dirty public areas
- Dirty tables, crockery, cutlery and glassware
- Dirty toilets and hand washing areas
- Overflowing bins or bags of rubbish outside the premises
- Staff with dirty hands or fingernails, nail polish, dirty aprons, or long hair that isn't tied back
- Raw foods displayed next to ready to eat foods
- Use of the same utensils for raw and ready to eat foods
- Foods on display past its 'Use by' date
