About these posters
These four free printable posters cover them: the four Cs of cleaning, cooking, chilling and cross-contamination, how to store food in the fridge, a tick-off checklist for anyone handling food, and how to cool, store and reheat leftovers. They work in cafes, canteens, school kitchens, church halls, food banks and home kitchens. The wording is general good practice in plain English, with no figures to go out of date. Download A4 or A3 PDFs, or the full set as a ZIP.
Questions
Do these cover allergens?
No. Allergen information needs to match your own menu and food type, so we have left it out. Use official food authority guidance to make your own allergen notice.
Do the posters give cooking temperatures?
No. They say to cook food until it is steaming hot all the way through. If you need specific temperatures, take them from your food authority or local environmental health team.
Are these official or approved?
No. They are general reminders and not a replacement for your own food safety procedures or training.
Can staff sign the checklist?
Yes. Print it each day or laminate it and use a dry-wipe pen. There are name and date lines at the top.
