We at AAJ PAKAO, decided to make it a Food Safety Week to stress the importance of food safety. ‘Safe food now for a healthy tomorrow’.
When we say the generic term food safety, we rarely think about the complete supply chain of the food that goes in our body. ‘The food we eat is kept safe through the dedicated efforts of everyone who grows, processes, transports, stores, sells, prepares and serves it.’
AAJ PAKAO ensures that we purchase the raw material from trusted vendors, with multiple quality checks. We believe that ‘Food safety is everyone’s business’. At AAJ PAKAO production, hygiene of the facility is the primary concern. Through sorting, cleaning, soaking, blanching and packing, strict measures are applied on how food is handled. Trained personnel which works at the facility follows personal hygiene and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice).
At AAJ PAKAO, with use of Retort Technology, food is cooked inside the special 4-layered retort packaging, ensuring ‘touchless cooking’, essential especially in Pandemic-like situation. By processing at a high temperature and pressure, along with cooking of the food, all the microbes in the food responsible for spoilage are eliminated, like Clostridium Botulinum. After the retort cycle, the food packets are cooled to room temperature. They’re then packed in consumer ready outer packaging and sent to our warehouse safely packed in corrugated boxes. Last process we do on our end is to quarantine and to check the final packages at our facility for about 7 days to make sure none of the packs are puffed up due to contamination or leakage, making sure that our customers are getting safe food.
Our warehouse follows as strict cleanliness and delicate handling policy as well. From taking the inbound stock from production facility to shipping the packet after additional packaging to the customer, we do quality checks and ensure that the packet is delivered to the customer in perfect condition.
With Retort process and its food engineering (because ‘Food safety is based on science’) , we are able to provide shelf life of 12 months at room temperature. There are ZERO preservatives used and ZERO additives used in our food. This was a conscious decision because we believe Food Safety was not just in ensuring cleanliness but it is also very important to keep food as natural as possible. Without changing physical state of our food, like in frozen or dehydrated food products, we provide actual READY TO COOK food in most natural state possible.
At AAJ PAKAO, we celebrate Food Safety Week with WHO (World Health Organization), carrying the banner ‘Investing in food safety today will reap future rewards’.[/vc_column_text][social_buttons facebook=”true” twitter=”true” linkedin=”true”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
