Comments

NOTE: regarding raw mushroom storage:
Why are sprouts and raw mushrooms considered potentially hazardous?
On several occasions, sprouts have been responsible for food poisoning, probably as a result of contamination with and subsequent growth of Salmonella, Bacillus cereus or
Klebsiella. Clostridium botulinum spores occur frequently in cultivated mushrooms. In laboratory experiments, it has been shown that Clostridium botulinum, if present, will grow and produce toxin in raw mushrooms which have been tightly wrapped and stored at room temperatures. It has therefore been recommended that raw mushrooms be refrigerated, and that packaging allow free exchange of air.

NOTE: chest fridge nearest front entrance may be in line with direct sunlight during certain periods of the day -if so then this fridge will need to be repositioned out of direct sunlight as temperatures will not be maintained at or below 4 deg C

NOTE: recommend placing plastic cooler flaps on walk-in freezer
