Retained samples: What do I need retained samples of?

It is advisable to take reserve samples of all food that you prepare yourself. This applies to perishable foods and dishes such as salads, desserts, sauces, hot dishes, etc.

Although you are not legally obliged to create retained samples, we strongly recommend this to our customers in the retail and system catering sector. In the event of an incident, the retained sample serves as evidence and can exonerate you. For example, if a guest falls ill after eating your product, you can use the retained sample of the dish in question to prove that there was nothing wrong with your products and that you are not to blame for the illness.
