Eastern Cape author adds new titles added to hygiene series

By

Eastern Cape-based food Safety specialist Graham Ries has added two more titles to his top-selling series of handbooks for supervisors, managers and workers in the food and hospitality industry.

The Pocket Guide to Food Safety for Food Handlers in Packhouses and The Pocket Guide to Food Safety for Supervisors in Packhouses are the sixth and seventh A6 books in the series published by Food Safety in South Africa.

The handbooks have been designed for ease of use in the workplace, with illustrations and photographs depicting the correct use and cleaning of equipment and clothing.

Xhosa and Afrikaans versions are available of The Pocket Guide to Personal Hygiene, one of the most popular booklets.

A series of posters to accompany the books has also been designed, along with training material.

The other Pocket Guides in the series are the Team Members Guide to HACCP; Basic Food Hygiene; Making HACCP Happen on the Floor; and Food Safety in Industry.

“Food safety in the industrial environment is somewhat different to food safety in the retail environment” says Ries.

“In many cases, the retail environment has a greater degree of variables, but the industrial environment carries a greater danger because of the times, temperatures, sheer quantities of food worked with and exposure to possible contamination via transport,” he says.

Books are available in units of 10 copies per title from the author, who also runs training courses in the workplace.
