HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., Jan. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey1 conducted by Rubbermaid® Commercial Products (RCP) reveals the number one concern for chefs about cross contamination is their customers getting sick. Findings also disclosed nearly two-thirds of chefs worry about how cross-contamination could damage their reputation, especially in the age of social media when more consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
Chefs are not only worried about cross-contamination's impact on their customers, but for the direct impact on themselves. American Culinary Federation (ACF) participants deemed reputation and social media impact as more important than the cost of an incident to business. However, 84 percent agree that using a color-coded system helped them be more compliant with food safety regulations.2
While food safety has always been a top priority for chefs, many believe Americans are more aware of food allergens and sensitivities today than in the past.
"Chefs and other food professionals are faced with many challenges in the kitchen, one of the largest being food safety," said Anna Whitton, vice president of marketing, Rubbermaid Commercial Products. "Our Color-Coded Foodservice System was designed to help meet strict regulations and encourage food safety in restaurant environments. This product offers kitchen personnel a system to simplify food preparation and storage, while giving chefs time to focus on a great culinary experience for their patrons."
RCP selected a subset of ACF member chefs to trial its Color-Coded Foodservice System, and 95 percent were satisfied with the product. The results of the trial and survey uncover the behaviors and attitudes of chefs towards food preparation and storage, and how they manage these challenges in their kitchens.
Key findings include:
