Cooking Validations
ALS provide cooking instructions generation (initial cooking validation) and routine cooking instructions validation, with different requirements linked to the product type and the industry expectations. Cooking validations are carried out to provide consumers with the correct cooking instructions, information and re-heating guidelines to ensure ready meals and non-ready-to eat products are safe and of the best possible quality when consumed.
Appropriate and documented validated cooking instructions are paramount for food safety, organoleptic quality and brand reputation. This service may also include microbiological risk assessment and microbiology testing before and after cooking to determine the target pathogens in the product, assess the impact of the cooking instructions on their populations and take the correct decision with regards to the product food safety.
