Best before and use-by dates It is important to understand best before and use-by dates on food labels to keep food safe and to help reduce food waste. Food may contain bacteria, and if stored for too long or at the wrong temperature can cause food poisoning.

A yw’n bryd glanhau eich cypyrddau yn y gegin wrth i’r gwanwyn gyrraedd? 🧹🫧

Weithiau mae tuniau a jariau’n cael eu gwthio i gefn y cypyrddau ac mae’n hawdd anghofio beth sydd gennym.

Mae bob amser yn syniad da glanhau eich cypyrddau ac edrych ar ddyddiadau ‘ar ei orau cyn’ cynhyrchion bwyd! Mae’n ddiogel bwyta bwyd sydd wedi mynd heibio’r dyddiad ‘ar ei orau cyn’, ond efallai na fydd o’r ansawdd uchaf bellach.

Cofiwch fod dyddiad ‘defnyddio erbyn’ yn wahanol. Nid yw’n ddiogel bwyta bwyd sydd wedi mynd heibio ei ddyddiad ‘defnyddio erbyn’ oherwydd gallai eich gwneud yn sâl.

I gael mwy o wybodaeth am y dyddiadau ‘ar ei orau cyn’ a’r dyddiadau ‘defnyddio erbyn’ ewch i’n gwefan: https://www.food.gov.uk/cy/canllawiau-defnyddiwr/dyddiadau-ar-ei-orau-cyn-a-defnyddio-erbyn

Going to the pub for a ‘lock-down lock-in’? Don’t do it
Our Public Protection service has been really impressed with the positive response of the vast majority of the licensed trade to the recent closure of pubs and restaurants.
These businesses are doing the right thing, despite the damage these closures are undoubtedly doing to their trade.
The emergency laws behind these closures have been imposed because of the unprecedented threat from Covid-19. They are absolutely crucial in helping to slow the spread of the virus.
However, Public Protection and North Wales Police have been dealing with a steady stream of complaints about a small minority of premises having so-called ‘lock-down lock-ins’, and have warned that action will be taken against anyone breaking the law.
Any licensed premises open for business are liable to enforcement action – including prosecution – and risk losing their license to sell alcohol.
If you’re going to the pub, or thinking of going, think twice. You too will be breaking the law and could face a fixed penalty or even prosecution.
Police and Public Protection are patrolling and actively following up on information they receive.

Ydych chi’n ystyried ymgynnull mewn tafarn â’ch ffrindiau i yfed a chymdeithasu â’r drws ar glo? Peidiwch.
Mae ein gwasanaeth Gwarchod y Cyhoedd wedi’i blesio’n arw â’r ymateb cadarnhaol gan y rhan fwyaf o fasnachwyr trwyddedig i orfod cau tafarndai a bwytai yn ddiweddar.
Mae’r busnesau hyn yn gwneud y peth iawn, er gwaetha’r niwed y mae gorfod cau yn ei wneud i’w busnesau.
Mae’r deddfau brys, sydd y tu cefn i’r orfodaeth i gau, wedi cael eu gosod oherwydd y bygythiad digynsail gan Covid-19. Maent yn gwbl hanfodol er mwyn ceisio arafu lledaeniad y feirws.
Fodd bynnag, mae’r Gwasanaeth Gwarchod y Cyhoedd a Heddlu Gogledd Cymru wedi bod yn ymdrin â llif cyson o gwynion am leiafrif bychan o fasnachwyr sydd yn parhau i fasnachu, ac maent wedi rhybuddio y bydd camau yn cael eu cymryd yn erbyn unrhyw un sy’n torri’r gyfraith.
Gall unrhyw eiddo trwyddedig sydd ar agor am fusnes wynebu camau gorfodi – yn cynnwys erlyniad – a cholli eu trwydded i werthu alcohol.
Os ydych yn mynd i’r dafarn, neu’n meddwl mynd yno, meddyliwch eto. Byddwch chithau hefyd yn torri’r gyfraith ac fe allech wynebu cosb benodedig neu erlyniad.
Mae’r Heddlu a Gwarchod y Cyhoedd yn patrolio ac yn edrych i mewn i unrhyw wybodaeth a dderbynnir.
Arhoswch gartref, gwarchodwch y GIG, achubwch fywydau.

Defnyddio bwyd sydd dros ben
Ar ôl y diwrnod mawr, mae'n siŵr y bydd gennych lawer o fwyd blasus dros ben, gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod yn dilyn y canllawiau hyn.

• Ewch ati i oeri unrhyw fwyd sydd dros ben ar dymheredd ystafell, yna'i orchuddio a sicrhau ei fod yn mynd yn yr oergell neu'r rhewgell o fewn awr neu ddwy
• Os ydych chi'n rhewi cigoedd wedi'u coginio, unwaith y byddant yn cael eu dadmer, bydd angen eu bwyta o fewn 24 awr
• Pan fyddwch chi angen defnyddio unrhyw fwyd dros ben wedi'i rewi, gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod yn dadmer y bwyd yn drylwyr yn yr oergell dros nos neu yn y microdon (ar y dewis dadmer) ac ailgynhesu nes y bydd y bwyd yn stemio'n boeth
• Dylech chi fwyta neu rewi'r bwyd sydd dros ben o fewn deuddydd (un diwrnod ar gyfer prydau sy'n cynnwys reis)

LOVE YOUR LEFTOVERS
Once Christmas day is over and you have lots of delicious leftovers, be sure to follow these guidelines.

• Cool any leftovers at room temperature, then cover them and ensure they go into the fridge or freezer within one to two hours
• If you freeze cooked meats, once defrosted, eat the food within 24 hours
• When you come to use frozen leftovers, make sure you defrost them thoroughly in the fridge overnight or in the microwave (on the defrost setting) and then reheat until steaming hot
• Don’t forget that leftovers should be eaten or frozen within two days (one day for rice dishes)

Gallai coginio eich twrci ymlaen llaw leihau straen a rhoi mwy o amser i chi dreulio gyda theulu a ffrindiau ar y diwrnod. Unwaith y bydd eich twrci wedi'i goginio a'i oeri, torrwch y cig yn sleisys a'i storio yn y rhewgell. Yna gallwch chi gymryd y cig allan a thwymo faint sydd eu angen arnoch chi.

Cooking your turkey in advance could save you getting stressed and gives you more time on the day with family and friends. Once your turkey is cooked and cooled, slice and batch it into portions to store in the freezer. You can then take out and reheat the amount you need when you need it.

Er mwyn gwybod am ba mor hir i goginio eich twrci neu gig arall, edrychwch ar y cyfarwyddiadau ar y pecyn, a llawlyfr gwneuthurwr eich popty os yn bosib.

Fel canllaw cyffredinol, caniatewch 45 munud y cilogram a 20 munud i dwrci o dan 4.5 cilogram. Dylech ganiatáu 35 munud y cilogram ar gyfer twrci sy'n pwyso mwy na 6.5 cilogram.

Os ydych chi'n defnyddio prôb tymheredd er mwyn gwirio'r tymheredd mewnol o bryd i'w gilydd, dylech sicrhau bod rhan drwchus yr aderyn (rhwng y fron a'r glun) yn cyrraedd tymheredd o 70C am fwy na dau funud. Mae'r canllaw tymheredd hwn hefyd yn berthnasol os ydych chi'n defnyddio thermomedr coginio – sy'n cael ei adael yn y cig wrth iddo goginio.

Gwiriwch bob amser bod y cig yn stemio'n boeth drwyddo draw, a ydych yn gweld unrhyw gig pinc wrth dorri'r darn mwyaf trwchus, a bod suddion y cig yn rhedeg yn glir.

To work out the cooking time for the turkey or other meat, check the guidance on the packaging, and the manufacturer’s handbook for your oven if you can.

As a general guide, allow 45 minutes per kg plus 20 minutes for a turkey under 4.5kg. Allow 35 minutes per kg for a turkey weighing more than 6.5kg.

If you’re using a temperature probe – used to check the internal temperature occasionally – you should ensure the thickest part of the bird (between breast and thigh) reaches a temperature of 70C for more than two minutes. This temperature guide also applies if you’re using a cooking thermometer – which is left in the bird while it cooks.

Always check that the meat is steaming hot throughout, there is no pink meat visible when you cut into the thickest part, and that the meat juices run clear.

Bwyd yr Wŷl Cyngor doeth i'ch cadw chi'n ddiogel y Nadolig hwn. Sut i baratoi a choginio eich pryd Nadolig mewn ffordd hylan a diogel.

Mae'n bwysig atal croeshalogi trwy ddefnyddio offer, platiau a byrddau torri gwahanol ar gyfer bwyd parod i'w fwyta a bwyd amrwd. Peidiwch â golchi twrci amrwd nac unrhyw gig arall – mae hyn yn tasgu germau ar eich dwylo, dillad, offer ac arwynebau. Bydd coginio'n drylwyr yn lladd unrhyw facteria sy'n bresennol.

Avoid cross-contamination by using different utensils, plates and chopping boards for ready-to-eat food and raw food. Don’t wash raw turkey or any other meat – it splashes germs onto your hands, clothes, utensils and worktops. Thorough cooking will kill any bacteria present.
