Questions

Manual de Boas Práticas for a food service: what people ask

Who needs a manual de boas práticas?

Food services that handle, prepare, store, transport, display or deliver prepared food, such as restaurants, snack bars, bakeries, buffets, canteens and industrial kitchens. They must have the manual and the POPs available to staff and to the health authority when asked.

Can the owner be the person responsible?

Yes. RDC 216 says the person responsible for food handling may be the owner or a designated employee, provided they have taken a course covering food contaminants, foodborne illness, hygienic handling and good practices. Laws that require a technical lead in some cases still apply.

At least 30 days from the date the food was prepared, under item 4.11.3 of RDC 216.
