Food Handlers

Health Screening Package in Mumbai

The term “food handler” refers to individuals whose jobs involve direct contact with open food. People who work in the manufacturing, production, preparation, sale, and service of any type of food, including drinks and water. At our clinic, we understand that food safety is of the utmost importance, which is why we offer tailor-made health screening packages for our food handlers. These packages are designed to identify any underlying health issues and educate our food handlers on how to avoid pathogenic contamination while working with food.
If Food handlers aren’t given proper training they can cause hazardous results. They can be responsible for spreading diseases such as:
Chest & Respiratory Diseases
Blood Borne Infections
Food-Poisoning
Typhoid
Diarrhea
Leptospirosis
Hepatitis
Gastroenteritis

Package Details

Our health screening packages are comprehensive and cover a range of tests, including blood tests, urine tests, and physical examinations. We also offer education and training on the importance of hand hygiene, the proper handling and storage of food, and how to prevent cross-contamination. We recognize that different occupational platforms require different levels of health screening, which is why we offer packages that are customized to the specific needs of the organization.

Safety Precautions

Safety precautions taken by our food handlers:
  • Wash and pat your hands dry before handling food.
  • Wear gloves and aprons to avoid any risk of contamination.
  • Keep proper personal hygiene (skin, nails, teeth & gums, ears & eyes)
  • Avoid loose hair & sweat coming into contact with food.
  • Report to the manager in case of illness.
  • Take the vaccination and food handlers certification provided by the hospital for safety

Vaccination

According to FSSAI rules, vaccination must be given to cover infectious & communicable diseases. So our Food Handlers package also includes the vaccines necessary for food handler’s safety as well as the safety of people being served. The following are required to be given to every food handler:
  • Typhoid – Once every year
  • TT – Once every 6 months
  • Hepatitis B – Set of 3 injections at an interval of 0, 1, 6 months every 3 years
By providing our food handlers with regular health screenings and education, we can identify any potential health issues early and take the necessary steps to prevent the contamination of food. This ensures that our patients, staff, and visitors are safe from foodborne illnesses and can enjoy their meals with confidence.
