Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: food safety

[Hans Tilstra (hans.tilstra]

The discussion on cleaning out the fridge raises an important point for me. 
Here in Australia local governments are held legally to account if there are 
outbreaks of food poisoning. So, food handlers need a current certificate. So, 
even if you organise an event involving food, the expectation is that someone 
on the team will hold this certificate. My guess would be that this could also 
apply to a common house kitchen. What I've observed and experienced is that the 
food handling training changes perception of what is safe.
