Frequently Asked Questions by Institutional Buyers / F & B Managers

1. How are Quick Meal products going to save time for me?
Ans. Quick Meal Institutional Packs are Just Heat and Eat – there is no cooking required for. This makes it easier to focus on “Serving Great Cuisine” to your guests rather than on ‘time-consuming’ production worries!

2. Time Saving is great, what about Costs?
Ans. Quick Meal offers Cost Economy through the following features :

• With Retort Packing comes a shelf life of 12 months (no refrigeration required) – thereby resulting in economies of production and storage. You are not dependent on the prevailing raw material rates or its availability – thereby overcoming any seasonal fluctuations in your costs.
  
• Add to this the fact that we are able to reduce the conversion costs to a great degree as we produce in large batches. All you need to do is plan your requirements over the next 2 to 3 months and we can produce, pack and deliver the same in a jiffy.
  
• Serving economy too is included in this money-saving equation as we provide our packs in effective 300gms, 500gms, 1Kg, 600gms(Combo Pack) pouches, thereby overcoming issues of over-production for a particular event and resultant wastage – every penny saved is a penny earned! You can serve as you observe the amount needed, rather than produce huge quantities with high risk of wastage.
  
  

3. What about Standardization of taste and quality?
Ans. Our standardization measures last across batches and not merely for a single batch, thereby ensuring the people you serve know that you always deliver the best food at the right prices. In order to ensure that we have the highest standards of quality control and hygiene, Gitwako Farms India Private Limited has obtained ISO 9001:2000, MFPO (Food Safety and Standard Authority of India) and MPEDA (Marine Products Export Development Authority), HACCP certification. These standards are set by us to make sure we always provide safe and reliable gourmet dishes to you.

4. Can I ask for Specialized Dishes?
Ans. If required, we can customize the taste to suit your particular requirements. At the same time, we can also aid your chef by producing and developing the dishes that are your trademarks, in large quantities and packing them in retort pouches. As always, we will maintain the secrecy of your distinctive style.

General FAQ's and usage instruction

Frequently Asked Questions on Ready to Eat Meals

1. What is Ready to Eat (RTE) Meal?
Ans. A RTE Meal is equivalent to a dish cooked at home. It has the same level of cooking parameters, ingredients quality and preparation method. While a dish cooked at home has an average storage period of 3-4 days (refrigerated), a RTE meal in Retort Pouches / Cans can be stored upto 2 years* in ambient storage.
*Once opened, RTE products must be consumed immediately.

2. What is ambient storage?
Ans. Cool and dry spaces are considered to be ambient storage. Avoid exposure to sunlight / heat in order to maximize storage life.

3. What about Preservatives?
Ans. Very few products have Preservatives which are mentioned in that packs. Otherwise, all products are 100% natural.

4. What is Retort Technology?
Ans. Retorting is based on the principle of packing & further sealing of food in aseptic conditions in specialized containers – Retort Pouches / Tins / Rigid Containers. This means the product is sealed inside 4 layer Flexible Retort Pouches or in Cans after a partial vacuum has been created. The packaged product is then subjected to high temperatures 121°C/25o°F and high levels of pressure up to 20 lbs PSI, in order that the bacteria/micro-organisms inside, if any, are inactivated. Layers of Aluminum foil / Tin sheets protect containers from further Bacterial proliferation or interaction with Moisture or Air. Therefore the product shelf life is achieved.

5. Any special heating or usage instructions?
Ans. One can heat RTE food using the following methods***
a) Completely immerse unopened retort pouch in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut pouch and serve hot.
b) Empty pouch contents into a microwaveable dish. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes and serve hot.
c) Empty pouch content into a saucepan, heat over direct flame as required. Stir until hot and ready to serve.

Tip : We recommend heating the unopened pouch in a kettle with boiling water for 3-5 minutes as the best method of warming Quick Meal products.
*** All the heating methods are also mentioned on our packs.

6. I have seen Bloated / Leaking packets. What should I do?
Ans. Bloating / Leaking is a clear sign of a product having gone bad. Under any circumstances bloated / leaky pouches are not to be purchased or if in storage never to be consumed.

7. How do I check for leakages?
Ans. Carefully examine sealing area and pouch edges. If there are any doubts, dip pouch in water, press from all sides and look for any leakages / bubbles.

8. How long can I keep the tin once opened?
Ans. Quick Meal can size is the right serving size and there should not be any leftover. However, if any, it can be kept up to 3 days in the refrigerator in a plastic container.
