Streamlined surfaces make for effortless wiping down of a whole cooking line. Service while you cook. The 800 Series design allows full service and maintenance to be carried out while units are installed within the cooking line. This minimises the need to shut down a whole line to service one unit.

Our Environment.

All Moffat technology is both a product of its environment and a product for the environment. That means that whether the design, development or construction stage every detail is checked to ensure that our equipment is as energy efficient and earth-friendly as possible. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to work towards reducing environmental impact even further. This way our products can be enjoyed by not just those who use them, but everyone.

Posted by: Neil Willis

The City of Casey yesterday joined 19 other Victorian Councils in launching the brand new, state-of-the-art $24 million local government kitchen which, from December 2010, will supply Meals on Wheels for City of Casey residents.

Community Chef is a collaborative project between all levels of government to ensure Meals on Wheels offers residents a wide choice of high quality, nutritious and diverse meals that also meet a variety of special dietary requirements.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Lorraine Wreford said it was extremely exciting to see the Community Chef project come to fruition after more than five years in the making.

‘Council is extremely pleased to be a shareholder in this leading-edge model of service provision which will ensure that Casey’s Meals on Wheels recipients receive quality food that meets a variety of dietary requirements and provide high nutritional value’, said Cr Wreford.

‘A dietician will oversee the menu development and qualified chefs will prepare meals which will include options from a range of different cultures including Asian, Mediterranean, Kosher and Halal.

‘Meals on Wheels is a vital service in the City of Casey. In fact, Council delivers more than 30,000 meals each year to help ensure that our frail aged and disabled residents can continue living independently in their own homes and be part of their community’, added Cr Wreford.

The Federal Government’s Minister for Health and Ageing, The Hon. Nicola Roxon MP, and the State Government’s Minister for Mental Health, Community Services and Senior Victorians, The Hon. Lisa Neville MP launched the Community Chef kitchen located in Altona.

Renowned chef, Gabriel Gaté, is the Community Chef Patron who provided advice on meal choice and menu.

The Community Chef kitchen uses the latest technology and techniques, and its design has won international awards and has been rated by the French food services magazine, Neo-Resterauration, as one of the five most important innovations in the kitchen alongside the microwave, ultrasonic washer, induction cooking and disposable packaging.

City of Casey Manager Community Care, Jo Smale, said ‘Community Chef is a fantastic initiative that will allow Casey’s Meals on Wheels service to be good value for money, more responsive and enable meals to be delivered with flexibility to meet individual requirements.

‘The meals will be packaged in environmentally-friendly packaging using recyclable containers that are easy to use and also microwaveable.

‘Recipients of Council’s Meals on Wheels service will be provided with a menu to make meal selections and be able to pay in the usual way’, added Ms Smale.

Make it Safe: A Guide to Food Safety

Posted by: Neil Willis

---

CSIRO Food and Nutritional Sciences has released a book – Make It Safe: A Guide to Food Safety – which provides small-scale food manufacturers with a practical guide to controlling food safety hazards.

 

All people involved with preparation of food for the commercial or retail market need a sound understanding of the food safety risks associated with their specific products and, importantly, how to control these risks.

Failure to control food safety hazards can have devastating consequences for not only the consumer, but also the food manufacturer.

This book is aimed at those small-scale businesses already in or considering entering food manufacture.

Those already operating a small business will develop a better understanding of key food safety systems, while those who are in the 'start-up' phase will gain knowledge essential to provide their business with a solid food safety foundation while also learning about Australian food regulations relevant to food safety.

The book's content will also be useful for students studying food technology or hospitality who wish to seek employment in the manufacturing industry or are planning on establishing their own manufacturing operation.

Illustrated in full colour throughout, Make It Safe outlines the major food safety hazards – microbial, chemical and physical – which must be controlled when manufacturing all types of food products.

The control of microbial hazards is given special emphasis as this is the greatest challenge to food manufacturers.

Small businesses make up around two-thirds of all business in Australia's food and beverage manufacturing industry.

Topics covered include:

• Premises
• Equipment
• Staff
• Product Recipes
• Raw Ingredients
• Shelf Life
• Labelling
• Food Recalls

Make It Safe (RRP AU$39.95) will be available at all good bookstores and through CSIRO PUBLISHING.
