Our Responsibility

As a professional food service company, we have the responsibility to protect

our clients and customers with safe and wholesome products. We must ensure

that the products and programs we deliver to our guests are from sources that

follow stringent food safety protocols that are verifiable.

Food safety cannot be compromised or placed at a lower priority when procuring

locally sourced goods. Before incorporating any new vendors or suppliers in

your schools, ARAMARK requires that all products and companies are fully

compliant with all food safety requirements. Information must be gathered and

documented across the entire supply chain, including the handling, packaging,

production, preparation and storage of food.

Awareness of food safety practices is especially important when handling

meats, seafood, eggs and fresh produce, as these have more strict food safety guidelines than other foods.
