Did anyone else notice the awful scene of cheese making where nail varnish and rings went into stirring the curds! .......... who produces this programme!

[Buttermilk]

I noticed that too.

[Marches Farmer]

Didn't see that bit, but my daughter once had a job at an inn where the boss insisted the waitresses wore nail varnish .... so the customers couldn't tell if their nails were dirty or not!

[Fleecewife]

Yes I saw it and groaned 


MF - for some reason I found that hilarious - but then I no longer eat out, nor do I buy ready made sandwiches since I discovered that some companies only allow one pair of latex gloves a day - and no-one takes them off when they go to the loo  .



The wormy sheep bums were pretty yuck too

I've been working at a couple of food factories recently, and actually standards were very high indeed. I had a problem at one place though, when I had to declare that I hadn't been near farms or livestock for at least a week before being allowed to work!

[Foobar]

Yep, I noticed that too!!

[stufe35]

Its not real, its just telly !

[Lesley Silvester]

Not watched it yet so I will look carefully.

If you think that is unhygenic the fishmongers in morrisons handle meat and then fish, no washing inbetween, as sometimes they have to man both stands, I have seen them do it too. According to hygene standards all jewelry, purfume and nail varnish have to be removed when handling food products, due to chemical or bacterial contamination, this also includes wrist watches too. Hands must be washed, and surfaces, between different foods, to avoid cross contamination. Raw meat/fish should always be kept in the lowest part of the fridge, above the closed veg cabinet usually, cooked meats in the middle shelf  and cheese/desserts and other foods on top shelves hope noone minds the lecture thats what I was taught by mum after she went on hygene course.

What I've never understood is why the salad drawers (full of *salad*) are positioned in the fridge below the lowest shelf - where all your leaky raw meat is supposed to go. No thank you!

well they are covered by a glass container and everything should really be packaged and not left loose. meat on plates and covered over, veg in packets wrapped tightly, even if its just brown bags (But kept well away from the meat).

We discussed this at the hygiene training I did .... a design fault !

It's not loose, it's wrapped, but if leaks were impossible then nobody would say "always put meat on bottom shelf". And the drawers do catch stuff from above, water trickles down around glass shelving etc.


I swap them over anyway, put meat in the drawers and veg on shelves. Also makes cleanup far, far easier.
