Vehicles and containers used to transport food must be kept clean and maintained, in good repair and condition, to protect food from contamination. Where necessary, they must be designed and constructed to allow for adequate cleaning and disinfection. It is very easy for food to be contaminated if vehicles are dirty, or if there are odours in the vehicle. Items used to hold food, such as boxes in vehicles and containers must not be used for transporting anything other than food, as this may cause contamination. Where vehicles and containers are used for transporting anything other than food, or for transporting different types of food at the same time, you must separate products effectively. Alongside this, where these vehicles and containers have been used for transporting anything other than food or for transporting different foods, you must clean them effectively between loads to avoid the risk of contamination. Food in vehicles and containers must be placed and protected in a way that minimises the risk of contamination. Where necessary, vehicles and containers used for transporting food must be capable of keeping it at appropriate temperatures and allow for those temperatures to be monitored. It is important to record the temperatures of vehicles and have adequate methods of measuring temperatures, together with alarms for when the temperature exceeds the required levels.

Cleanliness and Maintenance Standards for Food Transport Vehicles and Containers
Transport vehicles and containers for food must uphold high standards of cleanliness and maintenance to safeguard against food contamination.
Cleaning and Maintenance of Vehicles and Containers
These transport mediums must be regularly cleaned and maintained in good condition, including being suitably designed for easy cleaning and disinfection.
Preventing Food Contamination in Transport
- Avoiding Contamination: Dirty vehicles or unpleasant odours in transport can easily lead to food contamination.
- Exclusive Use for Food: Containers and boxes in vehicles should be dedicated solely to food transportation to prevent contamination risks.
Transporting Varied Goods
When transporting non-food items or different types of food simultaneously, effective separation and thorough cleaning between loads are critical to avoid contamination.
Food Placement and Protection
- Food must be stored and shielded in a way that minimises contamination risks during transit.
Temperature Control in Transport
Vehicles and containers used for food transport must maintain appropriate temperatures, with the capability to monitor these temperatures continuously.
Temperature Monitoring and Alarms
- Recording transport temperatures and having reliable measuring methods are essential.
- Alarm systems should be in place to alert when temperatures exceed safe levels.
