FOOD SAFETY AND SANITATION
Food safety is top priority with our management team. We make sure that our employees are given the knowledge and skills necessary for proper food handling, food safety and sanitation techniques. Employee training/in-service sessions are given at least twice a month at the unit level to ensure our employees are practicing only the best food service procedures. Food service directors complete a bi- weekly checklist based on the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point system to assess their operation in terms of preventative action and will implement any corrective action if necessary. Our employees are made to realize that they play a key role in protecting students' health and well being. They are one of the most critical elements in the food service operation. Read more »
MENU DEVELOPMENT
Maschio's Food Services provides planned menus which meet state and federal nutritional guidelines and which qualify for government reimbursement.

School food service menus are the primary communicator with the community about child nutrition. They are the most important marketing tool in the food service operation. School menus must model good nutrition and encourage healthy eating practices. Read more »
