Food safety while shopping
Brought to you by
Be considerate to others
- Do not take chilled or frozen raw food from chillers / freezers and leave them lying on shelves elsewhere within the supermarket. This compromises the safety and quality of the food.
- If you wish to put back a chilled or frozen item, ensure that it is placed below the load line in the freezers or chiller.
- Do not open jars or bottles of food to smell or taste their contents. Once opened, the food is exposed to contamination.
- Do not leave the door of display refrigerators open for too long. Know what you want before you open the door, take out the item and shut the door quickly.
- Do not pierce fruit with your fingernails to test for freshness. This makes it possible for bacteria to enter the fruit.
