What’s on the Kitchen Hygiene poster?

4 numbered steps, with a full worked run-through. The standard four: clean, separate, cook, chill. Clean — Hands, surfaces and boards before and after handling raw food.; Separate — Different boards for raw meat. Store raw meat on the bottom fridge shelf.; Cook — To a safe internal temperature, checked with a probe rather than by colour.; Chill — Fridge at 0–5°C. Leftovers cooled and refrigerated within two hours.. Do not wash raw poultry. It does not reduce bacteria and it spreads them up to half a metre.

Who is the Kitchen Hygiene poster for?

Kitchen Hygiene belongs to the Body & health section rather than to a school year, because health is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning prevention can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Kitchen Hygiene poster?

Separate raw from ready-to-eat at every stage — board, shelf, cloth, hands. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Kitchen Hygiene belongs on the wall where that health work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Kitchen Hygiene?

Air Quality, Antibiotics and Blood Pressure sit alongside Kitchen Hygiene in the Body & health section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.

Is the Kitchen Hygiene poster free to download and print?

Yes. Kitchen Hygiene downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Body & health section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.

What size does the Kitchen Hygiene poster print at?

Kitchen Hygiene is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Kitchen Hygiene loses nothing.
