If you bring an unopened package of commercially prepared food Make sure the elderly person is aware of any ‘best before’ or ‘use by’ date on the food package. Remember: Make sure you tell the staff if the elderly person has some perishable food in their room. When you bring food into an aged care facility for a relative or friend it is you and not the staff who is responsible for its safety. If you are cooking for an elderly person, please check the fact sheet ‘Protecting Tiny Tummies and Sensitive Systems’ under ‘publications’ on the Food Safety Information Council’s website www.foodsafety.asn.au for more information on preparing food safely.
