Food board urges restaurants to review hygiene procedures

THE Food Safety Promotion Board has urged all restaurants to review their premises and hygiene procedures to reduce the risk of food contamination.

A new survey by the board, otherwise known as Safefood, concluded that restaurants on both sides of the Border generally operate good food handling practices.

However, the study of 200 restaurants warns that many still have the potential for cross-contamination of food due to poor hygiene standards.
