Abstract
Summarizes legislation which determines specific temperaturerequirements for refrigerated foods in the United Kingdom pre and post1990. Before 1990 there were relatively few specific nationalcontrols, although controls existed for certain animalbased productssuch as meat and meat products destined for intraCommunity trade.Post1990 came the Food Safety Act 1990 and Food Hygiene AmendmentRegulations 1990, which have had most effect on the chill chain fromproduction through to retail sale, and in the catering sector.Temperature controls have been strengthened by monitoring and systems ofrecordkeeping. The other source of legislation has been through theimplementation of single European market measures, many of which willcome into force on 1 January 1993.
