Galley Food Safety Catering Services
A safe, nutritious, and low-fat food provides the seafarers with adequate energy to perform their duties, protect their health and fight any fatigue symptoms. On the other side, if the standard hygiene practices are not handled properly onboard, food can be a major cause of diseases and foodborne outbreaks. Handling the Food Safely is of prime importance within the prevention of food-related problems onboard ships. To begin with, the sourcing of wholesome, healthy, and hygienic raw food items is very important to achieve the required food safety standards.
Galleys, food storerooms, and dining rooms are subject to MLC inspections to ensure seafarer’s health, safety, and welfare is well-taken care of. Hence, it is of prime importance that they are kept in shipshape condition to avoid any food-borne diseases, which can put vessels and crew in danger.
The following are the main risks to food safety in the galley, and service areas:
- Biological hazards: (bacteria, viruses, moulds, yeasts, or parasites)
- Chemical hazards (e.g., cleaning agents)
