Guidelines for Personal Hygiene and Food Safety in Schools.

A working party investigated personal hygiene and food safety in schools and as a result developed these guidelines. The document outlines the principles that need to be understood by people who handle food. In particular the guide provides a model Food Safety Program for school canteens and school fundraising activities where members of a school community prepare food for sale. The principles outlined should also be followed when food is prepared or handled as part of a classroom teaching program. Available at www.dhs.vic.gov.au/phd/9902049/9902049.pdf.
