Hygiene and sanitation are the initial foundation for the Catering, Restaurant, and Café industry to produce food products that are safe for consumption. The application of hygiene and sanitation is carried out for the entire food processing process, both on the raw materials used, during the processing, to the presentation process, including employees and the food processing environment.
