Food safety is a top priority here at AGAR

We recently came across this video and investigative report from New York on the way some restaurants are cutting corners by transporting their own food in un-refrigerated vehicles. It is disturbing to say the least that these individuals would take the safety of their food and the health of their customers and place it into harm’s way the way they do on this video. Let’s be clear; shipping certain food products such as meats, dairy and other items in a hot van is dangerous to say the least. It not only affects the freshness of the food products but can also ultimately make people ill.

AGAR as a wholesale food distributor follows what the industry calls the Cold Chain process by which all food is kept at the proper temperature during the entire storage and shipping process. From our state-of-the-art warehouse operations to our inside loading dock and the trucks we use to service our customers, food safety is a top priority here at AGAR;

Take a look at the video; it speaks for itself.
