Milk and Snack Fresh Fruit
EYMP3-4.3 Explain how to prepare and store food, formula and breast milk safely according to health and safety guidelines.
Babies between the ages of birth to 24 months have immune systems that are still developing, leaving them more susceptible to germs and bacteria. Bacteria that comes in contact with an older child or adult may not have the same impact that it will have on a baby, which is why it is extremely important that food safety be managed diligently. food In my setting, food is prepared, stored and cooked hygienically. Kitchen area is clean all the time and anyone handling foods have “Food & Safety Certificate” and good personal hygiene. Anyone handling food washes her/his hands with hot water and soap before touching any foods.
We have colour codes for chopping boards, knives cleaning up equipments such as mops etc.
Aprons ad hats are essential to wear in food area.
We provide food for babies in our setting so parents are not allowed to bring any food because of allergies We store the baby food on room temperature only till one hour and there is no direct physical contact with food(aprons and gloves are used ).
We sterilise cutlery on daily basis.
Storing food at right temperature
We store food in refrigerator at right temperature which is 0 degree centigrade to 5 degree centigrade. We store food in deep freezer at -18 degree centigrade or below.
Preparing formula feed
We make sure all the bottles are sterilised before use.
Then we boil the kettle and fill the bottle up to required amount, for example I need to make 5 ounces milk, I will fill the bottle up to 5 ounces, add 5 scoops of milk powder, shake it well, let it cool down and check the temperature on the back of my wrist. Formula milk is ready to use if the temperature is right for child to use.
Storing formula milk
According to the latest recommendation from the Department of Health, formula milk is made fresh rather than being made up in advance and stored.
