The demands of the catering industry

In your industry, food hygiene and safety are top priorities.
That’s a fact: but it’s not always that easy.

We can help you. We’re not a lab, and we’re not health inspectors, but labs and inspections are the tools we use. We are food specialists, pure and simple, and we’re in our element whether in work canteens or restaurants, catering services or hotel kitchens. We’re ready for anything.

So, what are you looking for ?

 

A kitchen which meets the relevant legal requirements ?

We can help you at several levels: audit, training and consultancy.

  • Infrastructure audit: checking that your facilities meet the current legislation.
  • Full self-regulation audit: checking that the kitchen can manage food safety.
  • Analysis audit: checking your kitchen for hygiene and your foodstuffs for quality.
  • Surface check audit.
  • Hygiene audit: ensuring safety and hygiene in your kitchen.
 
  • Training in self-regulation system management: information on the legal obligations for your business and on self-regulation systems.
  • Ensuring traceability: advice on traceability best practices.
  • Advice on analyses: following up an analysis audit in your kitchens.
  • Setting up your own HACCP system: hazard analysis and management of critical control points.
  • Advice or presence during when visited by a competent authority (such as the  FASFC).
 

 

Personnel who apply the relevant safety and hygiene rules ?

You might have the best procedures in the world but they won’t work if your personnel are not familiar with them. Our training is practical, specific and interactive. All our courses have the same goal: making sure your personnel understand the rules and are motivated to respect them. All of our “standard” training courses can be tailored to suit your system, whatever the specifics of your kitchen. Our courses are accredited by the relevant authorities.

Food Safety audit: teaching hygiene good practices to your kitchen personnel.

 

Help with a problem ?

Complaint ? Accident ? Food poisoning ? Euro Consultants offers various services to help and guide you through the problem, quickly and efficiently.

  • Sampling for analysis.
  • Inquiry and sampling in the event of suspected food poisoning.
  • Complaints management: external assistance with managing customer complaints.
 
  • Support and assistance with informing the authorities, in compliance with the law on public health adopted in December 2001 and with the corresponding regulations adopted in November 2003.

 

Trustworthy suppliers ?

Many of your suppliers are certified through one quality system or another (BRC, IFS, ISO 22000, validation through self-regulation system, etc.). But what about the others? Using legal frames of reference or your own criteria, we can perform specific audits on your non-certified suppliers. Afterwards, you will receive a clear report that will help you assess the strengths and weaknesses of your suppliers, together with an action plan that you can send to suppliers as a request to take corrective measures.

  • Supplier audits to check they meet your requirements.
  • Supplier sampling for analysis to ensure that they are providing you with quality raw materials.

 

A validated self-regulation system and certification ?

Self-regulation is a credible system that guarantees safety in the food chain. The self-regulation guide produced by your professional association will help you to set up a reliable system for managing food safety in your establishment.

All you have to do is get it certified to enjoy the various benefits.

 
  • Audit to prepare for self-regulation system validation: checking that your activities comply with the self-regulation guide.
  • Training to prepare for self-regulation system validation: information on legal requirements for your business and for self-regulation systems.
  • Advice on setting up or updating a self-regulation system.
  • Assistance with applying the self-regulation guide for your sector.

 

A competitive position ?

Competition is fierce in the catering industry. Euro Consultants can help you stand out from your competitors. First of all, we will analyse your company in the light of the competitive advantage you would like to gain. Next, we will advise you on how to improve and expand your plans to differentiate yourself from the competition.

  • Environmental audit: to bring out your environmental awareness.
  • Safety audit (unofficial): to bring out your concern for safety in catering.
 
  • Vending machine audit: checking your drinks and hot and cold food machines.
