The health of college populations can be very diverse. While the majority of college students are in the best of health, colleges do not discriminate against those with health issues. The risk for the operator is that while it is impossible for them to determine or separate those with immune deficiencies from the general student population, their obligation remains to serve safe and healthy meals. This is where Davidson’s Safest Choice® Pasteurized Shell Eggs can help. Safest Choice offers a safe alternative to shell eggs, allowing operators to make whatever meals or dishes the student wants without concerns of Salmonella, Avian Influenza or, most importantly, cross contamination within the kitchen:
1) Eliminates the risk of illness from egg dishes like sunny-side up or poached eggs.
2) Eliminates worry of cross contamination when the only eggs in the kitchen are already pasteurized and safe.
3) Chefs can expand their menus to include such dishes as original Caesar salads, custards and cream pies with fresh meringue, aioli, Béarnaise, hollandaise and other sauces made with "less than cooked" eggs.
4) Every egg is guaranteed to be safe. The risk of one egg infecting the batch in large production applications such as banquets and catering is eliminated.
5) Reduction in food cost results due to longer shelf life and the ability to measure exact portions based on daily need, not commercial package size limitations.
6) Being a Food Safety Thought Leader creates an opportunity to promote goodwill with students, parents and patrons.
7) Allows for process improvement and all day safe handling offsetting the risk of multiple staff and multiple shift changes that sometimes cause less than preferred egg handling practices.
8) Acts as an insurance policy against legal liability and damaged reputation, while protecting the students in your care from loss of school time due to illness.
