 Describe how you will select the ingredients that you need from stores. How will you check them for freshness
and quality?
We must inspect the quality and condition of the food, as well as the expiry and best-by dates for canned goods.

 How will you check all perishable ingredients for spoilage or contamination?

If the vegetables are damaged or appear to be discoloured (yellowish), they are not appropriate. Canned goods
should have a pleasant odour, and we should verify the expiration date and whether the lid is correctly sealed
before opening.

maintained and ready for use?
For preparing this dish we will need:
