Behind the artistry of every Goodness Graze masterpiece—from the vibrant Pinoy Grazing Table to the opulent Premium Grazing Table—is a foundation of uncompromising safety.
For a catering operation servicing over 1,000 guests, a beautiful table is only as good as the hygiene standards maintained at its core: the commissary.
Here is an inside look at the rigorous health and safety protocols practiced within the Goodness Graze commissary to ensure excellence in every bite.
1. Strict Personal Hygiene Protocols
The "Warm Service" experienced by guests begins with the disciplined hygiene of the preparation team. Following national food establishment regulations, every staff member adheres to strict personal standards:
Mandatory Health Certification: All food handlers possess updated health certificates issued by local health offices, following rigorous medical examinations.
Sanitary Gear: Preparation is performed in full sanitary uniform, including hair restraints and clean working garments.
Handwashing Discipline: Continuous handwashing is mandatory before handling food, after breaks, and whenever a potential contaminant is touched.
2. Scientific Cold Chain Management
Given that Goodness Graze specializes in fresh cheeses, delicate meats, and seasonal fruits, maintaining a "Cold Chain" is critical to preventing food-borne illness.
The Danger Zone: Foods are strictly kept out of the "Temperature Danger Zone" (5°C to 60°C) where bacteria multiply rapidly.
Cold Storage Organization: Ingredients are organized in dedicated cold rooms, with raw materials placed on lower shelves to prevent juices from contaminating ready-to-eat items.
3. Cross-Contamination Prevention
The commissary utilizes a risk-based approach to separate distinct food groups.
Dedicated Tools: Separate cutting boards and knives are utilized for raw meats versus ready-to-eat items like cheeses or fruits.
Sanitization Cycles: All food contact surfaces are not only cleaned to remove visible dirt but regularly sanitized to eliminate microscopic pathogens.
4. Quality Control & Inventory Traceability
Quality assurance is built into the production process through meticulous record-keeping.
FIFO Method: The First-In, First-Out (FIFO) system ensures that every grape, nut, and cracker is used at its peak freshness, preventing the use of expired inventory.
Supplier Scrutiny: Every ingredient is traced from vetted suppliers, ensuring that the each food item meets international safety benchmarks.
The "Goodness" Promise
By integrating these global Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) into their daily operations, Goodness Graze ensures that their "Gorgeous Styling" is backed by the highest level of food safety.
