At ABC Medical Center a safe food handling process is implemented, this process ranges from storage, conservation, handling, preparation, transportation, and provision. Safe food storage includes following principles such as “first in/first out” which helps ensure that food is used before its expiration date. To avoid foodborne illness, an effective food rotation system is essential. The hospital offers a safe and precise food supply and nutritional products, guaranteeing that the food is stored and prepared at adequate temperatures to avoid the risk of bacterial growth.
