2. Labelling is important.Without this vital information on stored food,nobody will
know
Just how long any food has been stored.This means that without adequate labelling
there is a strong chance that the food may have deteriorated or have even gone off
by the time you come to use it.
The best way to ensure that FIFO principles are in place,and to follow a
comprehensive
Labelling strategy is to provide specially designed labers for the job.The important
information to note on a label includes the type of food being stored,the date it was
stored,the use by date and the staff members names.The labels need to be left in
the. Place by the freezer or refrigerator along with pens so there is no excuse why
anything should be stored without being labelled.
