S.L. 449.55 Art. 10Reheating of food.

(1) Food which in the course of a commercial operation has been heated and which is thereafter reheated before being served for immediate consumption or being exposed for sale shall, on being reheated, be raised to a core temperature of not less than 70°C:

Provided that if a particular food requires reheating to a core temperature above 70°C, said food is to be reheated up to this higher temperature.

(2) It shall be a defence for a person charged with an offence of contravening the preceding sub-regulation, to prove that he could not have raised the food to a temperature above 70°C without a deterioration of the qualities of that food.
