Detailed explanation-1: -The first step in the receiving procedure is to ensure that the delivery vehicle is in a clean and well-maintained condition. This helps to ensure that cross-contamination is minimised. The next step is to check the truck/Internal temperature of the vehicle. This ensures that the cold chain was maintained.
Detailed explanation-2: -Assess Food Quality Make sure to reject food if it’s moldy or is the wrong consistency (e.g. moist foods should never be delivered dry). Never accept a product that shows signs of pest damage. Any food that has an abnormal smell or color should be rejected.
Detailed explanation-3: -If food delivered to your premises is contaminated or you think it may be contaminated, you should return it to the supplier or, with the agreement of the supplier, destroy the food. For example, you may suspect contamination if packaging around the food is split or damaged.
