Food safety is no joke, especially when you’re running a business which revolves around food. In this matter, we thought of sharing some valuable food safety tips for business owners so they can indeed run their businesses the right way.
Food Hygiene Training
We just had to put it on top because no food business can certainly succeed without adequate employee food hygiene training. Any staff member who touches and handles food should definitely undergo professional training so they know all the dos and don’ts. You can rely on third-party services for training your staff. The level of training depends on their role. That’s not all. Renew the training every two years to discuss the new upgrades.
Cleaning
Take this seriously if you want to run a successful food business. First, make sure your premises are clean and well-maintained. Second, you and your staff members should be on the same page regarding the cleaning process. Lastly, follow the two-stage cleaning and disinfecting process to keep your food safe for the diners.
Hand-washing
As basic as it sounds, washing hands in food is extremely important. In fact, if you have prepared a safety check manual for your staff members, make sure washing hands is listed on top. Also, remember to remind your staff of the importance of regular hand washing.
Monitoring Time and Temperature
Know your products and which ones are potentially harmful and require special handling. “Potentially hazardous foods” is a legal term used by food regulators that is now more often known as “Time and Temperature Controlled for Safety,” or TCS.
Source Ingredients Wisely
Develop good working ties with reliable vendors. Always ensure your ingredients are sourced from reliable suppliers committed to quality and safety. Meanwhile, check for recalls regularly and keep updated about potential risks linked with your ingredients.
Implement a HACCP Plan
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, a systematic preventive approach to food safety. So, create a tailored HACCP plan for your company, identifying and resolving possible hazards at each stage of the food manufacturing process.
