Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort - Handling food the hygienic way

Good food are expected in hotels but consumers seldom see where they are prepared and take it for granted that the food was handled in a clean and hygienic way.

For Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort (STAR) here, good food is assured as proper food handling is taken very seriously. Their holistic approach to food handling and preparation, is due to their desire to adhere to the National Food Safety Policy, which hoped to protect people’s health and the national economy as a whole.

In this respect, Director of Communications Tulip Norazyze said the Shangri-La Hotels had adopted the Food Safety Management System (FSMS) which is based on the Principals of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Points (HACCP).

She said this system was carried out by STAR with assistance from DiversyLever Consulting. This consulting firm had accorded the hotel with guides to an Assured Safe Catering System (ASCA).

According to her, to ensure that every aspect of cleanliness was adhered to, they also take food samples for analysis in their labs. This was especially done when they receive comments about their food where samples of the food from that certain function would be taken and analysis for any adverse contents.

“As a leader in the industry, we want to make sure that we adhere to international standards,” she said adding that the other hotels in Sabah should emulate STAR where food handling was concerned.
