Food Storage Procedures to Ace Your Next Health Inspection

Restaurant owners can never be too prepared for a health inspection. If they have been following proper food storage procedures and are ready to show it off, then we have perhaps already utilized the perfect solution for them! Low-Density and High-Density Reclosable Bags can help prepare for any random health inspection any time. 

First up: storing food properly. Whether it's dry storage, a walk-in or reach-in refrigerator, operators need to make sure that their food is stored correctly so that it stays fresh and safe. When they’re storing their food investment, they need to make sure that it's stored in a bag that protects it from the elements and helps meet food storage regulations too. This means choosing the right type of storage bag—and not just any kind of storage bag! Low Density (LD) Reclosable and High Density (HD) Reclosable Storage Bags. 

Low-Density Reclosable Bags are made from highly durable low-density polyethylene material, making them an ideal choice for storing foods in dry storage, walk-ins or reach-in refrigerators. Each bag has a color-coded bilingual print indicating bag size and has write-on blocks for easy identification of contents. 

They also have a “Use-By” write-on block to control food rotation dates. LD Reclosable Bags are clear to help identify contents quickly for convenient organization across any kitchen. They are designed to reduce spoilage, retain flavors, and are perfect for food rotation programs. 

High-density reclosable Storage Bags keep food fresher longer and can withstand temperatures from -50°F to 220°F (-45.5°C to 220°C) which means they are suitable for use in freezers, to microwaves, or even boiling water to thaw without having to transport their contents. These bags protect against freezer burn and light and air exposure as the zipper closure reduces air intake. Each bag has a bilingual print and write-on blocks for easy identification and Use-By date tracking. 

We know how important it is to make sure restaurant/kitchen owners are always ready. These bags are sold in bulk quantities to avoid constant re-ordering and to ensure any kitchen always has enough on hand. The next time professionals are preparing for an inspection, they can count on LD and HD Reclosable Bags to be compliance-ready.
