School-age Room — Food storage Self test

There must be designated space for food storage.

All food or drink must be stored and served so as to retain maximum nutritive value and prevent contamination.

All individual food and drinks stored in the refrigerator must be labelled and covered.

Parent-supplied food and/or drink must be individually labelled with the child's name.

Contact your local Public Health Unit for more information on food handling and storage practices.

GOOD PRACTICE

Nutrition programs in day nurseries could provide opportunities for children to prepare food while gaining exposure to a variety of foods.
