Ensuring Food Safety Compliance: CITY’s Commitment to Quality and Safety

At CITY, we take our responsibility for food safety compliance very seriously. In the food processing industry, ensuring that textiles and garments meet the highest safety standards is not just a requirement; it is a critical component of maintaining public health. That’s why we have developed a comprehensive Quality Management (CQM) system designed to meet and exceed these standards.

A Framework for Excellence

Our CQM system integrates Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and aligns with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). This framework underscores our commitment to delivering safe, USDA-compliant garments. By incorporating rigorous operational procedures, we can guarantee that every item processed meets the strictest hygiene standards.

Meticulous Operational Procedures

The meticulous steps we take in processing textiles and goods for the food industry are captured in our operational flowchart. This chart highlights how we adhere to proper washing procedures, including:

1. Precise Detergent Formulas: Ensuring optimal cleaning without leaving harmful residues.
2. Temperature Control: Maintaining effective washing temperatures to kill bacteria and contaminants.
3. Disinfectant Use: Employing effective disinfectants to ensure safety.
4. pH Extraction: Balancing the pH levels to prevent damage to fabrics while ensuring cleanliness.

Additionally, our facility follows strict guidelines for drying, garment inspection, and transportation, reinforcing our commitment to safety.

Rigorous Testing and Standards Compliance

CITY undergoes bacteriological testing to ensure compliance with microbial limits for laundered textiles. We meet the standards set forth by TRSA’s Hygienically Clean Standard, a third-party industry-approved certification. This rigorous testing is an essential part of our operations, ensuring that our clients can trust the cleanliness and safety of the garments and linens we provide.

“Our clients, whether harvesting or preparing ready-to-eat products, rely on us to provide garments that meet the highest safety standards,” says Chriss Carsello, Director of Sales. “We ensure every garment complies by following strict guidelines and undergoing regular third-party audits to keep us accountable.”

Chriss adds, “It’s frustrating to see competitors not upholding the same standards, especially in garment delivery and storage. At CITY, we’re committed to making sure our clients never have to worry about compliance.”

Our dedication to food safety is woven into every fabric of our operations, ensuring that clients in the food processing industry can focus on their core business with the peace of mind that comes from knowing their laundering needs are in capable hands.

At CITY, we are not just providing a service; we are partnering with you to promote safety and compliance in every aspect of your operations. Choose CITY for reliable, high-quality laundry services that prioritize food safety and public health.
