Lunchroom Food Safety

Avoid a School Lunch Food Poisoning Disaster

School-based foodservice brings numerous challenges, with noticeable effects on students. Problems left unchecked can erode relationships of trust between families and school districts. When you consider the opportunities school meals can bring, small investments can create significant movement in the community.

Cross-Contamination & Cross-Contact Concerns

Cross-contamination procedures and equipment protect students from food poisoning, but not from allergens. To care for kids with food allergies, avoid cross-contact (allergen foods coming in contact with other foods). We offer an Allergen Saf-T-Zone System to make it easy. Remember that you can utilize color to identify and separate allergens. This color separation is made easy with StorPlus storage containers. Use durable StorPlus EZ Access Hinged Lids to keep items in food pans separate and avoid both cross-contamination and cross-contact.
