At Pokiza Food, we adhere to internationally recognized food safety guidelines. Our kitchen staff undergoes regular training in proper handwashing, cross-contamination prevention, and safe food handling techniques. We follow protocols similar to those recommended by Health Canada's Food Safety Division, ensuring that every meal is prepared in a clean, controlled environment.
We source our produce, meats, and dairy from local suppliers who meet strict quality standards. Traceability is key: we maintain records of ingredient origins and expiration dates, allowing us to quickly address any concerns. Our approach aligns with best practices outlined by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, ensuring transparency and accountability at every step.
Proper storage is critical to food safety. We use calibrated refrigeration units to maintain cold chain integrity, keeping perishable items at safe temperatures. Hot foods are held at appropriate temperatures until delivery. Our protocols are informed by guidelines from the World Health Organization, which emphasizes the importance of temperature management in preventing foodborne illness.
We understand that food allergies and intolerances are serious concerns. Our menu clearly labels common allergens such as gluten, dairy, nuts, and shellfish. Staff are trained to handle allergen-specific requests with care, using separate utensils and preparation areas when necessary to minimize cross-contact.
Food safety is an ongoing commitment. We regularly review our processes, update our training materials, and seek feedback from customers. By staying informed about the latest research and regulations, we ensure that Pokiza Food remains a leader in clean, safe meal preparation.
