Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Controlling the temperature of food is extremely important in ensuring that food is safe to eat, and you must ensure that food is always cooked, cooled, chilled or reheated properly to minimise the risk of harmful levels of bacteria in the food that you sell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Preventing cross-contamination To minimise the risk of cross-contamination, you should design a kitchen or food preparation area so you can prepare raw food away from ready-to-eat food (high-risk foods). This means separate work surfaces, food-preparation sinks, machinery and utensils.

Detailed explanation-3: -The coldest part of the fridge should be between 0 degrees Celcius and 5 degrees Celcius (32 degrees Fahrenheit and 41 degrees Fahrenheit). You could use a probe thermometer to check if food is being kept hot (above 63 degrees Celcius) or cold (below 8 degrees Celcius).
