If you are heading to the 2016 PMA Fresh Summit Show, you will not want to miss the opportunity to learn and look into food service providers and manufacturers. With the recent scandals of foodborne illnesses, it is essential for companies to choose food sourcing carefully. The food source company you choose can make the difference in whether your company can prevent a repeat of Chipotle’s recent crisis.
When choosing a service provider here are 4 tips to help:
Reputable Supplier
Be sure to research the company and ask for recommendations when considering a supplier to verify they are a reputable company. You may use the Better Business Bureau database on their website to see if the BBB has received any complaints against it.
Transportation
Look into how the company transports the food products and how they will be transporting it to your desired destination. Produce shipments must be transported under controlled regulated temperatures in a timely manner. Failure to regulate temperatures and time cause the shipments and the foods to be compromised.
Visit the Location
Before committing to a supplier it is important for you to visit the supplier, if possible. This allows you the opportunity to make sure they have the same values as your company and it also allows you to view first-hand where the food products are coming from.
Technology
Many food providers and manufacturers now offer technology that allows you to track your food sources. These technological advances can help your company not only improve the quality of the produce you are serving but also improve customer satisfaction and profits. By choosing a company with technologies and systems in place to protect you, this allows you to shift the focus to your business and worry less about your vendors.
