Castle & Cook Caterers Ltd. (CCCL), the catering company focusing on the healthcare industry in Kerala, has been awarded the ISO 22000:2005 certification for its excellence in implementing food safety management systems.
CCCL is the first hospital-caterer in India to achieve this certification. CCCL was founded in 200, and has been operating in Lakeshore Hospital and Research Centre Ltd, Kochi, for the past 12 years. The company has now expanded its hospital-catering portfolio to include Kinder Women’s Hospital and Fertility Centre, Chertala, and CIMAR Fertility Centre, Kochi.
In 2010, CCCL opened its first world-cuisine restaurant, Lokah Restaurant and Cafe, at Vyttila, NH 47 Bypass, Kochi. Amidst rave reviews for its selection of authentic dishes from across the globe, Lokah has further been recognised with Trip advisor’s Certificate of Excellence in 2013.
The outdoor catering wing of CCCL hosts buffets for private events and special occasions and also organises sightseeing trips in luxury boats across backwaters with onboard lunches or dinners. The ISO 22000 standard combines generally recognised key elements to ensure food safety along the entire food chain, including interactive communication, control of food safety hazards through pre-requisite programmes and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plans, and repeated improvement and updating of the food safety management systems.
Let them be a model in ensuring food safety .... congrats
