Corporate cafeterias and canteens are either run by the corporate or are outsourced to a Food Business Operator (FBO). Since the food is prepared and cooked in bulk, extra caution is required to keep the food safe from contamination because any contamination could affect a large number of corporate employees.  It is important for the corporate to have a well-trained Food Safety Supervisor who has a thorough knowledge of FSSAI regulatory guidelines so all food safety parameters are followed in the canteen.

When the catering is outsourced to a private caterer the corporate management needs to be extra cautious especially if the food is being provided at a discounted price. Since the profit margins are slim the caterer could cut costs and overlook a number of food safety norms like

• pest control
• health check-up of food handlers
• provision of soap for hand-washing
• gloves and headgear for food handlers
• lack of quality cleanliness and sanitation agents
• employ untrained staff unaware of personal hygiene standards

The corporate management must understand that any overlooking of food safety best practices can risk the health of the corporate employees who could become susceptible to foodborne illness. If there is an outbreak of food poisoning it could mean a number of employees could report sick and all at the same time leading to loss of many work hours. Therefore the corporate Food Safety Supervisor must ensure that there is

• regular testing of food and water
• inspection of kitchen and dining premises
• inspection of kitchen surfaces, equipment, cutting boards
• proper pest and insect control measures
• proper garbage disposal

Corporate canteens are established with the aim of saving time and providing safe and nutritious food to employees. It is the responsibility of the corporate management to ensure food has been safely and hygienically prepared and is nutritious and healthy. If the canteen is run by the corporate then they must have a license/ registration. If they are outsourcing the catering then the management must ensure that the corporate canteen is run by a

• Good hygiene practices as per FSSA must be followed in adhering to personal hygiene as well as to the cleanliness and sanitation of the kitchen, equipment, utensils, and crockery.
• Raw foods and ingredients must be procured only from registered or licensed vendors.
• Water used for cooking must be portable and regularly tested in a NABL laboratory recognized by FSSAI for water testing
• Food must be tested regularly and a swab test of the kitchen surfaces to be taken often so any growth of fungus, molds and dangerous bacteria can be detected before they contaminate foods especially raw foods.In the absence of a Food Safety Supervisor, the corporation must make sure to get a food safety and hygiene auditor to regularly audit and inspect the food and premises in the corporate canteen. There must be proper documentation of all food, water, hygiene testing reports. Also, corporates must make sure that all food handlers have been examined medically and are not suffering from any contagious diseaseAnother important aspect that must not be overlooked is to place posters in the food preparation areas that remind the food handlers about

• temperature control and refrigeration,
