Contact Us TodayGood Hygienic Practices work in Boston concentrates where the city's food economy actually lives: institutional and healthcare food service, university dining, seafood handling, and small manufacturers sharing incubator kitchen space. For shared-kitchen startups especially, GHP is the make-or-break layer — cross-contact and sanitation controls have to work in a facility you do not control, and both the Boston Public Health Commission and prospective wholesale buyers will judge you on it.
Through controls you own regardless of the facility: documented pre-use inspection and sanitizing of contact surfaces, dedicated or verified-clean equipment for allergen-sensitive products, sealed and labelled storage, and your own cleaning verification records. We also review the kitchen's pest control and master sanitation schedule on your behalf — its gaps become your product's gaps, and buyers auditing you will treat them that way.
It is the foundation, but hospital group purchasing typically layers on requirements: documented training, temperature logs across cook-chill and transport, and increasingly a HACCP-based plan for high-risk processes. A Codex-aligned GHP program gets the fundamentals inspection-ready for the Boston Public Health Commission; we then extend it toward the contract-specific requirements rather than rebuilding from scratch.
Foundational hygiene controls aligned with Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene — a prerequisite to any HACCP, SQF, BRCGS or GFSI scheme.
