Care
The healthcare segment includes various institutions and services providing medical and nursing care, such as hospitals, nursing homes and clinics. The sector plays a crucial role, but also faces specific challenges, including handling and reducing food waste and inco materials.
Challenges with food waste in industrial bakeries
1. Special dietary requirements:
Patients often have specific dietary requirements based on their medical conditions. This leads to a wide range of food preparations, which increases the amount of food waste.
2. Unpredictable desires:
Patients' appetites can vary greatly due to their health condition, medication and recovery process, making it difficult to prepare the right amount of food.
3. Very strict food safety standards:
Food that is not consumed within certain time limits should be discarded to avoid the risk of food poisoning. Freshly prepared food has a limited shelf life and should be consumed in time to avoid health risks.
4. Logistical challenges:
The logistics of distributing meals in large healthcare facilities can cause delays, leading to food waste if meals are not delivered on time. Inadequate storage and preservation conditions can also lead to spoilage of food stocks.
5. Cost management:
Managing and processing food waste entails additional costs, both for waste disposal and missed investments in non-consumed food.
