How are the meals plated at Ideal Nutrition?

Immediately after being cooked, all Ideal Nutrition meal ingredients are brought down to safe plating temperatures inside our state-of-the-art refrigerated plating rooms. Once the ingredients are at safe plating temperatures all meals are plated inside a temperature-controlled, USDA, and Florida DBPR approved, plating facility with an environmental temperature of 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Inside this plating facility hygiene and quality are paramount.

 

Once the plating of the meal is completed all meals are sent to our outgoing, temperature controlled, USDA and Florida DBPR, approved outgoing facility. Inside this temperature-controlled facility all meals are packaged inside your delivery bag. Ready to be shipped bags are then placed inside their corresponding transit refrigerated vehicles to be shipped to you. It should be noted the temperature inside the outgoing facility is kept at 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

Our plating and outgoing facilities are inspected and sanitized daily. All Ideal Nutrition plating employees must wear body suits, head coverings and facial coverings when plating meals. All plating is done with sanitized serving tools and measuring tools.
