Food services<\/strong> are considered an essential activity <\/strong>in the current context. The collective catering sector is one of the most important in our country and we offer services to a large number of users. The current sanitary situation derived from COVID-19 obliges to establish protocols<\/strong> so that the operation of the facilities does not increase the risk of community contagion<\/strong>, as well as defining the extraordinary protection measures<\/strong> following the recommendations of the health authorities for workers, clients, users and collaborators who must have the maximum protections and guarantees.<\/p>\n

This is the objective of the new measures, good practice, and protocols that we at SERHS Food have applied according to the different regulations, instructions, and health recommendations to be respected for the sector. Nowadays there is no evidence that food may be a source or a route of COVID-19 transmission. Corroborated by the WHO (World Health Organization) and EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).<\/p>\n

We have developed tools to help us identify and analyse the risks in our establishments with more detail to minimize them, as well as implement better practices in the service, facilities and with the personnel in the chain service to deal with the virus. They also work to complement other protocols already established such as the HACCP manual, cleaning plans or any other hygienic-sanitary requirement, psychosocial aspect, or quality standard.<\/p>\n
