In other words, food outlets that rely on charcoal, wood or other similar fuel types could shortly be required to comply with stricter council regulations and requirements according to new guidelines currently being set down by the EPA.
In future, the sellers of these foods will need to ensure that the associated minimum maintenance of the cooking equipment used adheres to the new regulations and the increased cleaning requirements.
These new guidelines will ensure that all cooking methods and associated equipment operating with solid fuel such as charcoal, wood or other fossil fuel types will necessitate more frequent cleaning than other cooking methods, with a more stringent adherence to the processes used in the cleaning of filters, exhaust systems and other associated odour control methods.
An important part of this new EPA guideline is that approved mechanical ventilating cleaning companies will be required to undertake the nominal periodic cleaning and maintenance. The food vendor will also be required to create and maintain a pre-planned maintenance log.
