General Food Care Instructions (Non-Dessert Foods)

Thank you for your order!

Please follow these guidelines to ensure your food remains safe and of the highest quality.

Transport:

  • Keep food containers upright and level during transport.
  • Avoid placing food on car seats — use the car floor or a stable, flat surface.
  • Hot Food: Keep the thermal box or container closed to maintain a safe temperature until serving.
  • Cold Food: Use air conditioning in warm weather; never leave chilled food in a hot car.

Storage:

Cold items (Salads, cold meats, chilled pastries):

  • Refrigerate immediately at 0–5°C.
  • Store in original packaging and keep away from raw meats in your home refrigerator.

Hot items (Pizzas, burgers, savoury pastries):

  • Best enjoyed immediately for peak quality.
  • If not eaten straight away, keep food above 63°C OR refrigerate within 90 minutes.
  • Never leave hot food at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

Reheating:

  • Reheat once only.
  • Ensure food is piping hot throughout (reaching 75°C or above for at least 30 seconds).
  • Do not reheat salads or any items originally prepared to be served cold.
  • Ensure all packaging is microwave-safe; do not microwave metal containers or foil.

Shelf Life:

Fresh Salads & Cold-Prepared Items:

  • Store at 0–5°C and consume within 24 hours.

Cooked Meat Dishes & Savoury Pastries:

  • Refrigerate leftovers within 90 minutes and consume within 24 hours.

Allergen Information:

  • Cross-Contamination: All items are prepared in a kitchen that handles nuts, dairy, gluten, and eggs; therefore, traces may be present.
  • Full allergen and baking ingredient information is available on our website. Key allergen details are also provided with every order at collection.
  • Please inform me of any allergies before placing your order, as some products may not be suitable for special preparation.

Important Safety Notes:

  • Once collected, safe storage and handling are the sole responsibility of the customer.
  • Do not consume food that has been left at room temperature for an extended period or reheated multiple times.
  • If you are unsure about the safety of a product, please do not consume it.
