Food Equipment News 3 5 Friday, February 10, 2017 NEW ITD FOOD SAFETY SOLUTIONS ARE WORTH THE PEACE OF MIND Food service professionals are more than aware of the increasingly strict regula- tions surrounding food safety require- ments. HACCP protocol is an essential part of day-to-day operations in all food- service facilities. Recently, high-profile food poisoning cases involving major restaurant chains have put increased pressure on food safety inspectors to ensure compliance and on foodservice operators to implement and maintain proper food safety protocol. HACCP Compliance Food safety regulations are intended to keep consumers safe. However, keeping food products safe and food waste to a minimum is a difficult task that is typi- cally labor intensive and prone to human error. A typical kitchen in a restaurant, school or hospital hand- writes over 100 labels and 100 temper- atures daily. There is a lot of room for human error, and with roughly 48 mil- lion Americans falling victim to food- borne illness every year, a crippling lawsuit or health violation is more like- ly than one may think. These strict regulations impose hefty costs such as paper, pens, clip- boards, ink and handwritten labels. These protocols also drastically increase labor costs and the human error associ- ated with handwriting puts any estab- lishment at an increased risk of a health code violation, compliance issue or legal implication. A New Solution ITD Food Safety is proud to introduce its newest food safety solution, The Prep n Temp Station. The Prep n Temp is your all-in-one solution for HACCP food labels and food temperature management. Use the fully-loaded and completely customizable sta- tion to print prep labels, nutri- tional labels, ingredient labels, custom labels, coupons and so much more. Its durable thermal printer eliminates the need for ink and can print over 50 labels per minute. The Prep n Temp Station's intelligent handheld thermometer deliv- ers lightning fast temperatures and cus- tomizable options for recording, cor- recting and displaying temperatures. Temperature reports are easy to view, sort and share. ITD has innovated a true "all-in-one" food safety solution that saves time and money in the kitchen, and provides peace of mind. Customer Feedback Mike Leeper, a Dairy Queen operator in Missouri, says: "With all the concerns about critical food viola- tion standards from Corporate and foodborne illness outbreaks at some of our competitors, we must be proactive so that we may protect our cus- tomers and our business- es. Having the Prep n Temp station is an addi- tional line of defense against the cost of a food- borne illness situation, and gives me peace of mind." ITD has now helped streamline food safety and HACCP management in thou- sands of locations.

GET MORE FOR YOUR MONEY WITH ISI Who doesn't want more for their money? iSi North America offers just that! The best just got better today, with the global launch of the new iSi Professional Charger, delivering up to 20 percent more portions for whipped foods, result- ing in up to a 20 percent savings on ingredients and handling without sacri- ficing quality or taste. Will switching to professional charg- ers require an additional investment? Absolutely not! New iSi Professional Chargers are used with the iSi Whippers foodservice professionals already own and love, and now they deliver even more value per food dollar. A café using a quart sized iSi Whipper to top 30 coffee drinks with two ounces of whipped cream will now be able to top 36 beverages using the new iSi Professional Charger. And now, non- dairy foods can be whipped up with bet- ter results using iSi Professional chargers too. The increase in portions also reduces calories and fat per serving. This is par- ticularly significant for chain restaurants and their calorie count listing. "This shows the restaurant is caring about its customers and what they're serving," says Jeanette C. Brick, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at iSi North America. "The idea of farm-to-table has expanded into recognizing healthy food preparations, and we see restaurants striving to improve the health conscious- ness of their menus. They want to avoid processed foods." Better still, iSi Professional Chargers enable the whippers to whip a greater range of products, such as lower fat creams that often cost less, or non-dairy coconut creams, popular among vegan customers. iSi Whippers are used by ice cream shops, cafes, restaurants and pastry chefs for topping desserts and coffee. But at least half the users fall into the modernist cuisine camp that have discovered an amazing array of creative applications at their fingertips. Chefs make light and fluffy espumas, sweet and savory creams, soups, desserts and sauces while mixologists have found the per- fect tool for rapid infusions and cocktail toppings. Refresher: An iSi (say "E-C") whip- per is a stainless steel canister with acces- sories for dispensing whipped foods, or for creating rapid infusions. An iSi Cream Charger (N20) introduces the exact amount of gas needed to whip up foods such as fresh whipped cream and espumas. iSi North America was established in the United States in 1977. The iSi Group, par- ent company of iSi North America, iSi GmbH, and their related companies was founded in Vienna, Austria in 1964. iSi Group is the largest man- ufacturer of cream and food whippers, soda siphons and its respective chargers. For over 50 years, the company has led the way as an innovator in whipper and gas charger technology. iSi continues to set the standards for safety and consisten- cy in delivering perfect results for chefs, baristas, bartenders and food enthusiasts. Star chefs are demonstrating their artistry with the new iSi Professional Chargers throughout the day. Expect Chef Aaron Lirette of GreenRiver, Chef Ashley Simone of Maison Cuisine and Mixologist Al Klopper of FIG Catering to wow you with their imaginative cre- ations.
