PAXAR FreshMarx Food Safety Labeling 
PAXAR's FreshMarx™ food safety labeling is simple and effective;
it is specifically designed to help chefs and kitchen staff reduce
the amount of time spent maintaining food stock rotation.
Contrary to what many food service operators might think,
maintaining a proper food storage and rotation system is quite easy,
especially if you have the right supplies.
The key is making sure your employees understand and follow the
system. Remember, this is not just about passing inspection. It's
about saving money too.
It all begins with one basic rule; date-label and store your food
as soon as possible upon delivery.
Beyond that, remember First In,
First Out or FIFO
As simple as it sounds, many establishments fail to practice FIFO.
As a result, food becomes spoiled, which in turn leads to waste.
PAXAR FreshMarx products make a major contribution towards food
safety by enabling your staff to select food with the closest use-by
date.
Environmental health officers
recommend PAXAR FreshMarx labels. Makeshift food-rotation systems
using markers, pens, or pencils and tape don't cut it. Inspectors
like to see preprinted labels.
Here's why:
1. Reliability-
just peel and stick. Because PAXAR FreshMarx labels are easy to
apply and they save time, employees are more likely to use them
2. Organization-
Color-coded FreshMarx day labels use a different color for each day
of the week, promoting better organization and quick recognition.
3. Consistency-
confusion amongst employees is minimized since the information on
preprinted FreshMarx labels can't be lost due to poor handwriting,
condensation, smearing or multiple messaging.
4. Adhesive Solutions-
environmental health officers dislike tape. It falls off and worse,
if the adhesive is too strong and the tape can't be removed,
bacteria begins to grow resulting in a greater risk of
cross-contamination. FreshMarx labels are available in assorted
label materials which are easily removed, freezer-ready or
completely dissolvable in water.
