Restaurant Diligence
Restaurant diligence is a comprehensive approach to assessing food safety for a restaurant/
foodservice operator. It is a due diligence 360-degree monitoring program that has been
developed and used successfully to help restaurants/ food outlet minimize their risks regarding
food safety.
It is a combination of Gap Analysis and Benchmarking. Gaps in the food safety system from
prerequisite programs (e.g., sanitation, recall, pest control, etc.) through HACCP are identified
and benchmarked against global best practices to protect the customer and consumer and, in
turn, protecting the restaurant’s reputation.
It emphasizes on evaluating how hygienically the food is handled - how it is prepared, cooked,
re-heated, cooled and stored and the condition of the structure of the buildings- the
cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation and other facilities. In addition to it how the business
manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe is also scrutinized.

Safe Poultry
Poultry is one of the fastest growing segments in India today. The production of eggs and
broilers has been rising at the rate of 10-15 per cent per annum, compared to the growth rate
of 1.5-2.0 per cent in agriculture. In India is maximum consumption as poultry is of broilers.
Broilers grow very fast and are highly efficient in converting feed into meat.
Of much importance is the quality {pathogen free meat, taste (flavour) and tenderness
(juiciness)} and safety of consuming chicken. These aspects are strongly influenced by several
factors during handling pre- and post- slaughter. Tenderness and/or juiciness decreases with
increasing age, whereas flavour increases with the age of birds.
RH, temperature, ventilation, and lighting are the critical factors that affect the quality and
safety of chicken. Ventilation is required to maintain temperature and RH at an optimum level
and to allow sufficient air exchange to prevent the accumulation of harmful gases, such as
ammonia, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, which leads to increased susceptibility to
various diseases and pathogenic bacteria. It is very important to reduce the microbial load of
disease-causing infective agents and maintain healthy environment. However, bigger risk lies in
the post slaughter handling. Contamination of raw meat takes place when flesh is exposed to
unsanitary environment.
Based on our experience in handling poultry safely and considering all the major issues, we at
TQS Global provide in depth assistance to all types of food manufacturers handling poultry or
poultry derived products for optimized capital expenditures and improved operational
efficiencies.
