Dear Monzer,


Flight catering has very stringent standards and Arya has provided very useful reading resources. Time / temperatures for various processes employed whether in cold, hot , bakery, receiving processes or like cook-chill / cook freeze, holding systems, packing, labeling, transportation & loading etc. are to be strictly adhered, monitored and documented. IFCA, IFSA and IATA have developed guidelines for flight catering management.



Hope these links may be useful.

Dear Monzer,

Please find some materials from my archives that might interest you. I used to be in airline catering and its a very exciting sector with very strict HACCP requirements. The ICQA Food Safety Standards is dated Jan 2006 but i think there has been a review as i can see from link provided by Jean. Because the processing for airline meals is mostly cook chill processes, the number requirements to look out for is Time/Temp. I also attached a case study that might equally interest you. Also it seems there certain differences in standards between various caterers for example LSG Skychefs in their last review removed the step of monitoring temperature of food at point of dispatch from the Unit to the Aircraft as a CCP although other airlines still keep this step as a CCP etc etc.

Enjoy
