Food safety is on the minds of F&B professionals, so it’s on the mind of Grainger as well. “Food safety is
often a hot and challenging topic among our customers within the lodging industry,” says Rick Betz, VP
of brand segments for Grainger and former VP of strategic sourcing for Starwood Hotels. “As a result,
the food safety product category within Grainger’s newly launched Hospitality Catalog is resonating very
well with our hotel customers.”
Ice handling equipment is among the F&B products available from Grainger to address safety issues.
“While ice handling may seem relatively simple, it can present a very high risk for food contamination,
and customers are turning to products such as specialized ice totes and ice scoops with hand guard features,”
Betz says. “In addition, items such as color-coded cutting boards with food safety hooks ensure
sanitary carrying and storage in addition to helping prevent cross-contamination.” —TW
