When it comes to meal prep, most people immediately think about ingredients, macros, or calories. However, one of the most critical factors often gets overlooked: the cleanliness of the kitchen where your meals are prepared.

At Meal Prep Sunday, we don’t simply focus on taste or convenience. Instead, we’ve built our entire operation around clean meal prep standards that protect your food from start to finish. As a result, you get consistent freshness, dependable safety, and meals you can trust every single week.

Let’s step behind the scenes and explore how our clean kitchen, advanced packaging systems, and strict food safety protocols work together to protect every meal we deliver.

Why a Clean Meal Prep Facility Matters

A truly clean meal prep environment sets the foundation for everything we do. Whether you’re pursuing fitness goals, eating for sustained energy, or simply avoiding unreliable takeout, you shouldn’t have to question how your food was handled.

Because of that, our commitment to cleanliness goes far beyond appearances. It directly reduces the risk of foodborne illness, cross-contamination, and spoilage. In fact, our facility consistently meets—or exceeds—industry standards for food safety, sanitation, and preservation.

Inside Our Industrial Doyon Oven

Our chefs cook meals in industrial-grade Doyon rotisserie ovens, which deliver even heat distribution and precise temperature control. Thanks to pulse steaming technology, proteins stay juicy on the inside while developing a flavorful exterior.

This matters for clean meal prep because it:

• Reaches safe internal temperatures that eliminate harmful bacteria

• Retains moisture naturally, without preservatives

• Allows our team to verify accuracy using calibrated thermometers

As a result, every protein delivers both exceptional flavor and uncompromising safety.

Sealed for Freshness: Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

Many customers ask how our meals stay fresh without freezing or preservatives. The answer lies in our Multivac T-300 sealing system, which uses Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).

By removing oxygen and replacing it with inert gases like nitrogen, MAP naturally extends shelf life while preserving taste and texture.

Why MAP matters for clean meal prep:

This process matters because it:

• • Reduces the growth of bacteria and mold

  • Prevents oxidation that leads to spoilage

  • Protects meals during delivery and storage

Additionally, we vacuum-seal every container using BPA-free, recyclable packaging, ensuring a health-forward and environmentally conscious experience.

Industrial Refrigeration to Lock In Quality

Immediately after sealing, we move meals into industrial refrigeration systems monitored under HACCP standards. These systems keep food stored below 41°F, the critical threshold for food safety.

Our refrigeration process includes:

• KE2 controllers that minimize temperature fluctuation

• Rapid cooling within 30 minutes to preserve texture and flavor

• Protection against pathogens like Salmonella and Listeria

Because of this tight temperature control, your meals stay fresh from production all the way to your doorstep.

Sanitation & Hygiene Protocols

Clean meal prep doesn’t stop with equipment—it depends on people and process. That’s why our kitchen staff follows strict sanitation standards at every step, including:

• Color-coded cutting boards to prevent cross-contamination

• Disposable gloves changed frequently between tasks

• Hairnets, face masks, sleeves, and aprons

• Handwashing and sanitizing stations throughout the kitchen

After every production round, we sanitize workstations. In addition, we deep-clean the entire facility weekly. For best practices once meals arrive at home, you can also review safe storage and reheating tips on our FAQ Page.

Clean Facility = Clean Food

We clean our facility from top to bottom—twice every day. This routine includes:

• Floor-to-ceiling kitchen sanitization

• Steam-cleaning ovens and cooktops

• Organizing and deep-cleaning cold storage areas

• Sanitizing reusable trays and equipment

Ultimately, the cleaner the environment, the safer your food. That’s why we continuously train and retrain our team on cleaning protocols to maintain our gold-standard kitchen.

Meet the Team Behind the Clean

None of this works without the people behind it. Our chefs and kitchen professionals take pride in every meal they prepare and every standard they uphold.

Moreover, our team operates with a high-performance, low-ego mindset. That’s why we display every team member on a wall between our kitchen and office—a daily reminder that clean meal prep is powered by people who care.
