Portable Sinks & Food Service Safety

December is Food Service Safety Month, and there’s no time like the New Year to embrace this practice in your restaurant or business. There are many ways that a business can improve their food service safety, and it doesn’t just apply to restaurants. From food trucks to daycares, there are many companies that encounter food and learning how to handle food properly while also providing your employees with the best practices for handling it is extremely important. Here are a few tips to remember as you improve your food service safety, and a few ways that All Portable Sinks can help!


Wash Food Properly

It’s important to make sure that fruits and vegetables are washed properly. Even if you plan on peeling or skinning it, you still want to wash it well. Not washing produce can spread bacteria from the outside to the inside as you prepare it. Tomatoes require special care, as there have been increased cases of salmonella in tomatoes. Lettuce also requires washing, as it has been a bit of a hot topic lately as well.


Never let the produce sit in water, but instead, run it under cold water and scrub thoroughly. Portable sinks allow you to have cold water for washing produce, while also having warm water to washing hands. You can have the best of both worlds even while on the go.

Clean and Sanitize Preparation Surfaces and Equipment Regularly

One of the biggest things to remember about food service safety is that you need a proper workstation and equipment to do the job satisfactorily. This means that hot soapy water is a must in your facility. You’ll need to sanitize cutting boards, dishes, countertops, and more. It’s always important to check with your local health department to learn about what they require when it comes to food prep and sanitation.


Promote Hand Washing Habits


This is an important step to improving the safety in your workplace in regard to food consumption. When your employees know the basics of proper handwashing, you’ll find that cross-contamination will decrease significantly. Provide a dedicated hand washing station for your employees. This can be hard in places like food trucks or childcare facilities because you either need plumbing on the go or will have to plumb a station. All Portable Sinks allows you to put a sink anywhere – making handwashing easy and effective! From food trucks that are on the go to daycare facilities where you need a sink and can’t plumb for one.


Portable Sinks for Food Service


We have several sinks that are all regulated by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). They are great for food service preparation, and as you will see, some offer prep stations, while others provide a place to wash utensils in one basin and hands in another. These can be a great solution for those looking for a portable option when it comes to food service safety.
