The Importance of Cleanability in Foodservice

Food safety is the number one concern for food service providers across the country. Food borne illness is a common, distressing, and sometimes life-threatening problem for millions of people. Worldwide, food borne illnesses result in the hospitalization of 325 million people per year. In the United States, an estimated 80 million cases of food borne illness occur each year..

With today's busy lifestyles more people are dining out than ever before, and with numerous cases of food borne illnesses such as e.coli, salmonellaand listeria occurring across the country , food safety has become an important issue for both the consumer and the foodservice industry. Food borne illness is also extremely costly; the estimated yearly cost in this country is $5 to $6 billionin direct medical expenditures and lost productivity. The proper equipmentis necessary because it aids in the establishment of a sanitary environment. Investing in cleanable equipment is a small price to pay compared to the financial consequences of inadequate food safety.

Metro shelving can be the answer to your safe food storage needs. Metro offers the easy-to-clean, quick to adjust Super Adjustable Super Erecta,™ MetroMaxQ™, and MetroMax®storage systems.

The Super Adjustable Super Erectaquickly adjuststo meet your space needs. You can easily adjust shelf height to fit the product being stored, allowing you to safely store fooditems that otherwise may spill causing contamination on the lower shelves. This feature greatly reduces the risk of cross- contamination.

MetroMax Q's™ innovative design allows shelves to be positioned and adjusted quicklyand easily in seconds. It ideally adapts to any foodservice environment. Stationary or mobile, it features an open grid mat with solid mat options available. A key feature that differentiates MetroMax Q™ in the industry is the ability to remove the polymer mats and place them in a standard size dish rack for a quick and thorough cleaning. To contain potential spills, solid drop-in mats are also available. Previously, if an employee spilled something on a shelving unit, they would probably just give it a quick wipe with a sponge. With a MetroMax Q™ shelving unit, it could be quickly cleaned by popping off the removable mat and hand washing it, or running it through the dish washing machine. MetroMax Q™ saves both time and money for an establishment by providing a quick and easy way to keep things clean and sanitary.

MetroMax® is a versatile storage and transport system that easily adapts to any foodservice environment. Designed for the harsh environment of a cooler, MetroMax® possesses the features that make it the product of choice for food-safety. Constructed of stainless steel and advanced polymer materials, it is guaranteed against rust and corrosion for a lifetime. MetroMax®'s removable polymer mats make cleaning a breeze.

Designed with cleanability in mind, Metro shelving is designed to help foodservice providers assure food safety.
