QUALITY

TAB Gıda attaches great importance to food safety and quality standards and has adopted the principle that products of every trademark under TAB Gıda’s umbrella are in compliance with health and hygiene conditions. Veal and poultry meat are used in all meat products presented to consumers at TAB Gıda restaurants. Furthermore,ingredients which are not in compliance with the Turkish Food Codex Regulation are not used in any products. All products are prepared completely in accordance with international quality standards in terms of transportation, cooking, service standards as well as health and hygiene regulations.

All meat products that are shipped to restaurants arrive in sealed packaging by BRC certified suppliers, which are transported in vehicles with a storage temperature of -18ºC. When the shipment vehicles arrive at the restaurants, the temperatures of the vehicles and meat are checked by the managers and recorded. Once their expiry dates and packaging procedures are checked, the meat is shipped to restaurant storage rooms without breaking the cold chain. Storage temperatures fixed at -18ºC and (1-4) ºC are checked at least 3 times a day and before each shipment with a thermometer despite the temperature indicators on them. In addition, all shipments in Turkey and temperatures of vehicles during the transportation are also monitored.

TAB has set standards for specific temperature and retention times for all food products. These standards are designed to ensure that products are of the best quality. Also, the internal temperatures of all cooked meat used at the restaurants are checked 5-6 times a day provided that it is once in maximum of every 3 hours. These records are kept in the restaurant archive for at least 3 years.

The cooking procedures have been specially designed to kill all pathogenic (microbial) microorganisms that are likely to be present in raw meat. All meat products are cooked in a way so that their inner temperature is a minimum of 68ºC.

Furthermore, the fat content of sauces served at restaurants has been reduced by 50 percent, and while our breads do not contain flavor enhancers, sugar and salt content are kept to a minimum. In addition, all potatoes served in our restaurants are produced without any additives and milk products such as ice cream and milkshakes are made from real milk.

In our restaurant chains, all employees are subject to certified training on 'food safety' and 'hygiene'. All employees strictly comply with hand washing procedures and wash their hands in with water at 38°C once every 15 minutes.

Although all suppliers have BRC certificates and practices , suppliers are regularly inspected by the TAB Food Quality Assurance Department according to risk categories to ensure product quality and food safety. Tab Gıda stops purchasing from producers unless they obtain a minimum score of 70 from these inspections. They are allowed time to remedy the issues indentifed, however only after the issues are remedied, can work start again with them. This allows us to monitor the product quality and food safety and also ensure an increase in customer satisfaction through offering hygienic, healthy and safe products.
