If the temperature of high risk, chilled food has risenabove 8ºC for one period of less than 4 hours, it can bereturned to a storage temperature of 8ºC or less until it issold, used immediately or disposed of. 

If the products have been above 8ºC for more than oneperiod of 4 hours then they must be disposed of. 

If you use the 4-hour rule you must document this in yourdaily recording diary. Note that food can only undergo oneperiod of up to 4 hours above 8ºC.

Defrost products in thefridge, making surethat any raw products arestored below ready-to-eatproducts.A general rule isthat defrosting should bedone at the bottom of thefridge. 

If you cannot defrost food inthe fridge you should notethe reason why in your dailydiary and then choose oneof the following safemethods:

- Run the food under coldwater (but this should notbe used for defrosting rawmeat unless the meat is ina sealed packet/container).

- Defrost at roomtemperature, protecting theproduct againstcontamination, minimisingthe time the product is atan ambient temperatureand placing it in the fridgeas soon as possible.

- In the microwave usingthe correct ‘defrost’ setting.

Ensure adequte provisionis available  to containjuices whilst defrosting.

 

Check the fridge to ensure productsare correctly stored.

 

Conduct visual checks to ensureproducts are not left at an ambienttemperature.
