Suitable Packaging Materials
hand contacts with the food and that all handlers have washed their
hands are gloved and not ill.
Insert the food product in the packaging and ensure the seal is tight.
If using a sealable bag, make sure to remove all the excess air before
sealing. Hermetically seal the container (jars and cans) under steam
pressure or pack the products under the supervision of the
Department of Public Health.
Food packaging is aimed at preserving and protecting food from
environmental factors. Packaging material is carefully considered with the type of
food to be packaged for safety reasons. There are specified regulations concerning
food contact packaging.
Packaging Materials
Packaged food comes into contact with packaging material all the time. To
combat toxicity from these packaging material like plastic, aluminum and cling
film, foods are specified as to which packaging material should be used. These are
often referred to as active and intelligent food packaging material.
Duration Of Packaging Material
Before food is packed, the packaging material is researched on medicated for
use of packaging. A certain duration is awarded for the validity of the packaging
material. The duration is set to ensure that the food is not contaminated by the
package in which it is placed.
Labeling materials
Food packages are accompanied with contact adhesives that indicate the
prices of the food. These adhesives may come into contact with food, and
consequently intoxicate the food. Labeling materials should be kept from
contacting packaged food.
Using food containers is the best way to organize food storage whether in the
home kitchen or in restaurants. Food containers for delis and bakeries are
available in different styles and sizes. Composed of different kinds of material like
plastic, durex, stainless steel, or aluminum, they can be to store a variety of foods
like soups, sauces, cakes, pies, and much more.

perishables.

takeout or
packaging Characteristics and Uses of Different Packaging Materials
leftovers,
aluminum
foil containers are perfect choice, though they are not microwaveable. With their
leak proof qualities, colanders are popular used to store soups and sauces in
restaurants and foodservice kitchens.
Hinged lid foam of Styrofoam containers are the universal solution for
serving takeout or packaging leftovers. Leak-proof foodservice plastic containers
are used by delis and bakeries to store liquid foods and also sandwiches. Available
in convenient shapes and sizes and with color-coded lids, plastic containers are
the best choice to keep your bakeries organized. Clear plastic containers offer a
good view of the content. Foodservice containers made of paper are used to serve
chicken and popcorn. Mobile food storage bins can be conveniently kept in
kitchens and storerooms and improve space optimization. Restaurant supply
stores also offer lids for plastic containers, paper containers, and foil containers.
Food Storage Containers
Food storage containers for restaurants and other foodservice
establishments are a priority these days. Commercial restaurant kitchens must
have many seal tight containers for storing and prepping food. These containers
are usually made of plastic, durex, stainless steel, or aluminum. We also carry
poly plastic bags for preserving smaller portions. It’s no secret that a package can
catch a customer’s eye even before they notice what’s inside. Give your food an
effective appeal by presenting it with our food packaging containers. Our food
containers provide an upscale look and increases perceived value of packaged
foods, both hot and cold.

Appropriate labeling for packaged foodstuffs
Name – This must also inform the customer the nature of the product.
It may also be necessary to attach a description to the product name.
Ingredients – All ingredients of the food must be stated under the
heading 'Ingredients' and must be stated in descending order of
weight.
Date Tagging – There are two types of date tagging:
Use by Date – ‘Use by date’ must be followed by a day or/and
month which the product must be consumed by. To be
employed on perishable foods that usually would be kept cold,
for example, fish, meat, dairy products and ‘ready to eat’ salads.
Best Before Date – 'Best before date is used as an indicator of
when the product will begin to degrade from optimal quality:
this includes when the food becomes stale, begins to taste ‘off’
or decays, rots or goes moldy. There are also regulations on
which type of best before date must be applied:
Best before + Day for foods with a shelf life of up to 3 months
Best before end + Month for foods with more than a 3 month
shelf life
Best before end + Year for food with more than an 18 month
shelf life
Storage Conditions – If there are any particular storage conditions
for the product to maintain its shelf life, these must be pointed out.
However, as a rule it is recommended to always describe the
necessary storage conditions for a food product.

Store chilled food in refrigerator or freezer.
3. Store foods according to HACCP Procedures
Policy: All food, chemicals, and supplies should be stored in a manner that
ensures quality and maximizes safety of the food.
Procedures: Trainees who will be receiving and storing food must maintain
the storage areas, including dry, refrigerated and freezer storage, by following
these steps:
Storage Upon Receiving:
1. Place foods in the proper storage area (refrigerator or freezer) quickly to
avoid bacterial growth:
41°F or lower – refrigerator temperatures
26°F to 32°F or below – deep chill storage temperatures
0°F or below – freezer temperatures
50° to 70°F at 50 to 60% humidity – dry storage temperatures
3. Keep all food items on shelves that are at least 6” above the floor to
facilitate air circulation and proper cleaning.
4. Store food out of direct sunlight.
5. Place chemicals and supplies in appropriate storage areas, away from
food.
6. Use First in First out (FIFO) rotation of products in all storage areas to
assure that oldest products are used first. Products with the earliest
use-by or expiration dates are stored in front of products with later dates.

Mixing old food with new food is not acceptable.
7. Make sure all goods are dated with receiving date and use-by date, as
appropriate.
8. Store food in original container if the container is clean, dry, and intact.
If necessary, repackage food in clean, well-labeled, airtight containers.
This also can be done after a package is opened. Food is NEVER put in
chemical containers and chemicals are NEVER placed in food storage
containers.
9. Store potentially hazardous foods no more than 7 days at 41ºF from date
of preparation.
10. Store pesticides and chemicals away from food packaging area and
storage areas. Pesticides and chemicals must be stored in original,
labeled containers.
Storeroom sanitation:
1. Maintain clean and uncluttered storage areas. Storage areas should be
positioned to prevent contamination from areas where garbage is stored.
2. Dispose of items that are beyond the expiration or “use by” dates.
3. Store all items on shelves at least 6” above the floor to facilitate air
circulation and proper cleaning.
4. Check for signs of rodents or insects. If there are signs of the presence of
rodents or insects, notify the unit supervisor.
Temperature Control:
1. Check the temperatures of all refrigerators, freezers, and dry storerooms
at the beginning of each shift. This includes both internal and external
thermometers, where appropriate.
Refrigerator temperatures should be between 36 and 41ºF.
Freezer temperatures should be between -10 and 0ºF.
Storeroom (dry storage) temperatures should be between 50 and 70ºF.
2. Record temperatures on the appropriate temperature log with trainee’s
initial.
3. Notify your trainor immediately of any unacceptable temperatures.
4. Limit overloading refrigerated storage areas, as this prevents air flow and
makes the unit work harder to stay cold.
5. Use caution when cooling hot food in the refrigerator, as this warms the
unit and can put other foods into the temperature danger zone.
6. Keep units closed as much as possible to maintain proper temperatures.
7. Defrost all units on a regular schedule to aid in proper maintenance and
air circulation.
