You should keep at least 100 grams of every dish you make yourself as a reserve sample. This applies to perishable foods and dishes such as salads, desserts, hot dishes and sauces. There is no legal obligation to create reserve samples, but we strongly recommend it - for your own protection in the event of an incident.
There are various things to bear in mind when creating a reserve sample. Each food must be taken separately and a separate sample created for it - for example, one each for sauce, meat and side dish. The description of the contents is important for correct labelling of the reserve sample, as are the date and time of sampling. The following applies to storage: at least seven days at -18 °C.
