• if the food is highly perishable then this should either be refrigerated or frozen. It is very important to try and prevent, for example, any further mould growth or decomposing of food
• if there is a foreign body in the food i.e. glass/metal again it is important that the foreign matter is not removed from the food and is handled as little as possible
