1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am not going to assume it was not even more
2 than two years ago from the evidence. If it becomes
3 important, we will pin it down by reference to other
4 things.
5
6 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
7
8 MS. STEEL: Do you remember what the time was increased to?
9 A. It went up from -- the cooking range for regular meat
10 was 40 to 44 seconds or, no, 38 to 42 seconds and it went
11 up to 40 to 44 seconds and it has since been increased
12 recently to 42 to 46 seconds.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just pause a moment, please. Yes.
15
16 MS. STEEL: What about the quarter pounders?
17 A. Again, the time changed, I think -- the original time
18 was a hundred and seven to a hundred and ten seconds,
19 I think, and it went up to a hundred and ten to a hundred
20 and seventeen, and I think it is now a hundred and
21 seventeen to a hundred and twenty four, I think the upper
22 limit is.
23
24 Q. Right. When was the most recent one that you are referring
25 to there?
26 A. The most recent one from 40 to 44, 42 to 46 was in the
27 past couple of months. But the 38 to 42 up to the 40 to 44
28 was again at least, I would think at least 18 months ago,

38 that is right.

41 A. Sorry?
42
43 Q. What about of the grill?
44 A. I do not understand what you mean.
45
46 Q. Are you talking about the internal temperature of the meat
47 products when you say that ----
48 A. No, I am talking about the temperature that we set the
49 grills to cook them at. The internal temperature of the
50 meat is something I have not touched on this week.
51
52 MR. MORRIS: You said that the freezer temperatures must be
53 checked at around 8 am, 2 pm and 6 pm and midnight?
54 A. That is right.
55
56 Q. To ensure the raw product has not thawed or dehydrated.
57 The temperature, the freezer temperature log, how often is
58 it that all the freezer temperatures achieve the level at
59 which your instructions are to reach?
