Maintaining high standards of safety in a commercial kitchen preparing over 15,000 meals daily is no small feat. At Galaxy Food Catering, safety is not just a checkbox; it is a foundational pillar of our operation. Our central kitchen facilities in Woodlands Loop have recently undergone a comprehensive technological audit to align with the rigorous requirements of the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System.
ISO 22000 is an international standard that defines the requirements for a food safety management system covering all organizations in the food chain. For a large-scale dormitory catering provider like Galaxy, this means implementing rigorous Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) at every stage—from the arrival of raw poultry and vegetables to the distribution of warm meal packs at industrial sites.
Real-Time Temperature Monitoring
One of the key enhancements in our kitchen upgrade is the deployment of IoT-enabled thermal sensors. These sensors monitor the ambient temperature of our cold rooms, freezers, and dry food storage warehouses 24/7. If a unit's temperature shifts by even 0.5 degrees outside the designated range, an automatic SMS alert is sent to our quality assurance officers to take immediate action. This level of monitoring prevents food spoilage and ensures that ingredients remain fresh and pathogen-free.
Insulated Fleet Dispatch
Preparing safe food is only half the battle. Delivering it hot and fresh across Singapore's expressways is the other. We have upgraded our entire delivery fleet with custom-insulated stainless steel holding ovens. These compartments maintain heat using active thermal containment, ensuring that worker meals arrive at their destinations above the critical FDA-mandated temperature of 60°C. By keeping the food hot during transit, we suppress the growth of bacteria and preserve the authentic, comforting flavors of home-cooked food.
