The HRH Group of Hotel, Rajasthan, India, is reinforcing its commitment to food hygiene and the wellbeing of guests by signing a contract with international standards company Check Safety First.
RAJASTHAN – As part of the HRH Group, the Shiv Niwas Palace, the Fateh Prakash Palace and the Jagmandir Palace, are introducing Check Safety First’s established risk management system E-Cristal and its food module to ensure the highest standards of food hygiene. This comes after a successful contract with the Heritage establishment Shahpura House Hotel in Jaipur, where the food module has already been implemented. The system is based on the recognised hygiene management method, HACCP, helping each hotel monitor and manage critical areas of a kitchen to ensure that risks are reduced and quality standards are exceeded.
Food hygiene standards and contamination remain a challenge for Indian hotels and restaurants. Demanding temperatures can lead to food contamination and can threaten the health of guests. The Food and Safety Standards Act, which will be implemented from 2014, is a call to action for the Indian hotel industry to ensure they act compliantly. By continuing its work with hotels in India, Check Safety First is aiming to play a key role in improving standards throughout the flourishing tourist region.
Mr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar – Executive Director of the HRH Group of Hotels in Rajasthan, said: ‘We wanted to work with Check Safety First as the company is recognised for helping hotels globally reach consistent hygiene standards. We will work hard to improve our awareness and monitoring of risk areas across the group.”
Mark Harrington, CEO at Check Safety First, said, “We are pleased to be working with some of Rajasthan’s flagship hotels as the region is a key base for India’s tourism. We have been working in India for a year, transferring our global experience to these hotels. The country has challenges to overcome and it’s good that these hotels are taking the necessary steps to ensure that their guests are safe. We will work carefully with staff at these hotels to help them achieve the high expectations and standards that only hotels which are part of Check Safety First can offer.”
