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:
- Reliability-just peel and stick.
Because PAXAR FreshMarx labels are easy to apply and they save time,
employees are more likely to use them.
- Organization-Color-coded FreshMarx day labels use a
different color for each day of the week, promoting better
organization and quick recognition.
- 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.
- 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.
