Case study

You have gone to a local shop to buy an egg mayonnaise sandwich from their chilled section. When you pick it up, you realise the sandwich is warm and that the fridge it is stored in is not plugged in.

• What temperature should the sandwich be stored at?
• What are the hazards in storing the sandwich above the recommended temperature?

It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
