Our laboratory conducts routine microbiological analysis of various products. Samples analysed daily include raw, semi-processed and finished food products, water, ice cubes, hand swabs, equipment swabs, linen swabs and environmental counts.

Daily random food temperature checks are carried out at various stages from receipt to despatch. All temperature probes used for checking core temperature of food are calibrated half-yearly. Cold storage temperatures are monitored every six hours. Indicator and probes are calibrated every year. A Billing Management System monitors the temperature of all cold storages and deep freezers on a daily basis.
