Food Safety“Because you’re one food safety issue away from going out of business”Every year many food borne illnesses happen due to poor food handling. Food Safety is crucial in today’srestaurants; the public is more educated on what to look for and it is becoming a major part of their decision whereto dine. Having a safe food handling process is critical and purchasing from a company that is federally inspectedand HACCP Recognized ensures that certain processes are followed through, every time. Don’t be fooled bythose companies who claim to be Government Inspected and HACCP, if so confirm they have a FederalGovernment Official on site and their HACCP program is Internationally Recognized, otherwise it is just notthe same. Dealing with food safe suppliers and manufactures are imperative first steps, ensuring that your locationcontinues the food safety chain is just as important. By now most people have heard of the 3 C’s (Keep it Cold,Keep Clean and Keep it Covered), this is a very important part of not only ensuring proper food safety in yourlocation but it will also keep the creditability of the product. Remember your internal program can only be as goodthe integrity of the product you receive.■■■Keep Cold– Fresh Beef should be stored at -2 to 2C or 28 to 32F– Frozen Beef should be stored at 1 to 2C or 34 to 36FKeep It Clean– Cross Contamination – When in house butchering is done the possibility of cross contamination is increased.Purchasing pre-portioned products from Honeyman's Beef limits those probabilities as each product comesin its own cryovaced package which means it can be opened when required.Keep it Covered– Portions individually cryovaced– Oxygen is removed from each package which limits the growth of bacteriaHoneyman’s Beef Take on Food SafetyHoneyman's Beef has always put food safety in the forefront of what we do.
