Chapter 3 of Code On Sanitation of The Philippines
ASSOCIATES
Ensuring the safety and sanitation of food does not end within the
premises of a food establishment. Proper transportation of food items is
equally critical to prevent contamination during transit. Guidelines for
safe transportation include maintaining appropriate temperatures for
perishable items, avoiding cross-contamination between raw and cooked
foods, and using proper packaging to prevent spillage and contact with
harmful microorganisms. Adhering to these guidelines safeguards the
integrity of the food and maintains its quality from the kitchen to the
consumer.
INSPECTION AND
MONITORING
Health authorities play a crucial role in maintaining the standards
outlined in Chapter 3. They have the authority to inspect food
establishments to ensure compliance with sanitation guidelines. Through
regular inspections, authorities identify potential violations, provide
warnings, and, if necessary, impose fines or suspend operations until
compliance is achieved. This proactive approach helps prevent non-
compliance and encourages establishments to consistently uphold the
highest standards of hygiene, thereby safeguarding public health and
enhancing consumer confidence.
