Sanitation starts from the time
we purchase the meat, to receipt, storage, preparation, cooking, chilling
and cold meat handling and even the use of leftovers or offal. We make sure that our food
preparation area is clean and well maintained. But most importantly, we
make sure that food is prepared in a hygienic way to ensure against
instances of food poisoning. For instance, our meat is
prepared on stainless steel work benches which are sterilized
prior to
kill any bacteria, the walls and floors are sealed with an antibacterial
paint coating.
The benches are cleaned and sterile after every usage. The meat mincers, fillers, packers, oven, slicers, wrappers, presses and all
other machinery are cleaned many times throughout the day before and and
after each product run eliminating contamination between different meat
types.
We clean and
sterilize our utensils after every usage. We do not want cross
contamination to occur so we completely sanitize the process
area before a new product run commences. Nothing has direct
contact with the floor! meat tubs, ingredients, packaging and
anything that is used in our manufacturing process is kept
elevated from the floor. We have a sterile process room with a
temperature controlled environment that is sealed off from the
rest of the facility thus eliminating any outside contaminants.
Our cold processing
room ensures that the meat is kept to a minimal temperature at
all times while being processed. After preparation, it is stored
in the cool room which operates at between 0-3 degrees Celsius.
Those who are working in the facility must cover their feet,
hair and hands at all times with latex gloves, rubber boots and
hair nets.
Every possible effort
is made to keep a high standard of cleanliness and to
produce a high quality clean and hygienic product our growing
reputation relies heavily on these factors.
