Home Delivery Hygiene: A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES

Home delivery for groceries has become a necessity to maintain social distancing in ‘the new normal’, but what hygiene measures do delivery firms take behind the scenes? We asked Halima Jumani, Operations Director at multi award-winning grocery delivery firm Kibsons about the hygiene and safety measures you should expect.

What food safety standards do food delivery companies need to adhere to?

It is important to point out that for years before the coronavirus pandemic, Kibsons has consistently achieved a 100% health certification and is HACCP approved.

‘HACCP’ stands for ‘Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points’ and is a global system that addresses food safety standards. This system makes a detailed audit and assessment of how all food safety hazards are controlled. These include microbiological, chemical and physical hazards - from the production of raw material right the way through to consumption of the finished product. This includes manufacturing, our food procurement, all product handling, storage and distribution. So we have decades of experience in every tiny detail of hygiene control and safety. In our case, we refresh our training regularly to keep up-to-date with any new laws and procedures.
