A food safety issue that is too close to home… Lecturers and students from the University of Adelaide discovered from their research that 134 out of the 174 supermarkets (that is nearly 75%) or delis that sold ready to eat meat had high bacterial levels that did not meet food standard guidelines.

Common temperature logger mistakes 2 and 3 dealt with misunderstanding. This one is returning to the “oh, yes, I should have done this sooner” category. Common temperature logger mistakes: Not put in place. Like I said in my last post, this one is obvious, but more often than not, it is really obvious in hindsight. The […]

Every year there are some key milestones that remind us of how quickly time is passing. Christmas sort of came and went so quickly that I ddin’t have time to stop and say “I can’t believe that it is Christmas already”. In fact, I’m not quite sure if Christmas 2013 actually happened. But my computer […]

A couple of years ago I wrote some posts on Ventis (Ventis solar energy and Ventis Fresh Air) and have now decided to take the next step and install it in my own house. So this is it, the rubber hitting the road. Over the next couple of weeks I will be collecting data on […]

I had the privilege of seeing behind the scenes at Pablo and Rusty’s Coffee Roasters with Chris Tate. I have now discovered that making the perfect cup of coffee is a mix of skill, art, hard work, high standards, and a strong social conscience.

Scores On Doors heavily penalises food premises that do not ensure that staff are correctly washing their hands. Given that dirty hands are one of the most efficient means of cross contaminating food and spreading germs, and is one of the simplest to avoid, it makes sense that it is heavily policed. Currently the points […]
