FIFO Checklist. How to use FIFO – Staff Guidance Notice
FIFO stands for First in, First out and using a FIFO system is the only way to manage your food storage in the kitchen. The term First In First Out is a handy way to remember that the food that has been bought in first needs to be consumed first. This is so that everything is used when it is at maximum freshness and there are no nasty surprises from using out of date food that may have gone off. As well as keeping everyone safe, FIFO also avoids food wastage.
A stock rotation system means everyone knows which food to use first and importantly, how to store these fresh supplies so that they can be used in the right order.
With no FIFO system, there is a risk of serving food that is out of date or has gone off. This will result in a lack of food quality and increase the risk of causing food poisoning to your customers. FIFO also ensures that your catering team and chef will be able to work confidently and quickly without the need to search for fresh ingredients.
