How to store food correctly?
Check out some tips for storing perishable items properly:
Learn about the characteristics of the products
Although there are some similarities in food storage, they are not the same. Therefore, gain knowledge about the particularities of products, to store them correctly.
To give you an idea, fruits and vegetables, for example, should be placed in cooled compartments and not frozen. Meat requires a temperature close to zero. Each type of food has a different way of storing.
Stack correctly
Air humidity also influences food preservation. Therefore, opting for a stacking system that promotes air circulation in the environment is very important. Otherwise, the products may spoil prematurely.
Keep the environment clean
Cleaning is a crucial point. To make it easier to maintain hygiene, set schedules to defrost and clean the area. In addition, also remember the air diffusers and other equipment in the establishment.
Wear appropriate uniforms
Another extremely important point is the clothing of employees. Suitable uniforms for performing the service include a white apron, white coat, gloves, cap, shoes or rubber boots and japanes for protection. So, find out about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and include it in your employees’ routine.
Invest in plastic containers
Products made from rotomolded plastic, such as Tecnotri bin containers, are ideal for the food industry. In addition to being light and resistant, they are easy to handle and clean. Thus, they provide greater safety for operations, which reduces work accidents and maintenance costs.
Synonymous with hygiene, plastic containers allow fresh contact with food, avoiding contamination. Developed especially to meet ANVISA, HACCP, FDA and BFP standards.
