Jollibee Group marks World Food Safety Day and recognizes food safety heroes
The Jollibee Foods Corp. (Jollibee Group) organized a series of insightful activities centered around the “5 Calls to Action of World Food Safety Day” from June 1-10, 2021. Representatives from different regions, including restaurant managers, operation and support teams, and top executives participated in the activities, which were designed to help build capacities and highlight the importance of food safety throughout the organization.
Under the theme “Ensure it’s Safe”, SGS Global Customised Solutions Manager Evangelia Komitopoulou, PhD spoke about “Emerging Trends in Food Safety Standards and Regulation and the implications to Food Service". For “Grow it Safe”, Cargill Protein’s Eileen Mayordomo focused on the supply chain and the best practices from agriculture and food producers.
The other activities focused on the rights of the consumers to access safe, healthy, and nutritious food (“Know what’s Safe”), and the crucial role of business operators in implementing food safety (“Keep it Safe”). Here, brands from around the world such as Yonghe King in China, and Smashburger and Jollibee in North America shared their best practices for maintaining food quality.
To encourage the Jollibee Group community to “Team up for Food Safety”, the company also recognized Food Safety Heroes, individuals who went beyond what is expected and made a real difference in maintaining food safety in its restaurants especially during the pandemic.
