How Our Clean Meal Prep Facility Keeps Your Food Safe
How Our Clean Meal Prep Facility Ensures Safe, Fresh Meals Every Week
When it comes to meal prep, most people think about ingredients, macros, or calories. But what’s often overlooked—and just as critical—is the cleanliness of the facility where your meals are prepared. At Meal Prep Sunday, we don’t just focus on taste or convenience. We’ve built our entire operation around clean meal prep standards to give you peace of mind, consistent freshness, and safe, ready-to-eat meals every single week.
Let’s take a look behind the scenes at how our clean kitchen, advanced packaging systems, and strict food safety protocols ensure your meals are not only delicious but handled with the highest standard of care.
Why a Clean Meal Prep Facility Matters
A truly clean meal prep environment is foundational to everything we do. Whether you’re working toward fitness goals, eating for energy, or just trying to avoid unhealthy takeout, the last thing you want is to worry about how your meals were handled.
Our commitment to cleanliness and organization isn’t just about optics—it directly protects you from foodborne illnesses, cross-contamination, and spoilage. In fact, our facility meets or exceeds industry standards for meal safety, cleanliness, and food preservation.
Inside Our Industrial Doyon Oven
Our meals are cooked to perfection in our industrial-grade Doyon rotisserie ovens, which ensure even heat distribution and precision cooking. This type of oven offers pulse steaming, which keeps proteins juicy on the inside while finishing them with a flavorful exterior.
This matters for clean meal prep because:
It ensures internal temperatures are met to kill bacteria
Moisture retention preserves freshness without preservatives
Our team uses calibrated thermometers to verify safe cooking
The result? Juicy, flavorful proteins that meet both taste and safety expectations.
Sealed for Freshness: Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
Ever wonder how our meals stay so fresh without using preservatives or freezing? The answer lies in our Multivac T-300 sealing system, which uses Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). This advanced technique removes oxygen and introduces gases like nitrogen to extend shelf life naturally.
Why MAP matters for clean meal prep:
- Reduces the presence of bacteria and mold
Protects meals from oxidation (which leads to spoilage)
Keeps your food clean, safe, and intact during transit
We vacuum-seal each container and use BPA-free, recyclable packaging for an eco-conscious and health-forward experience.
Industrial Refrigeration to Lock In Quality
Immediately after sealing, meals are moved into our industrial-size refrigerators, which operate under HACCP-monitored systems to ensure all food is stored below 41°F—the critical temperature threshold for food safety.
Our refrigeration systems:
Include KE2 controllers for automated defrost cycles and minimal fluctuation
Rapid-cool meals within 30 minutes to lock in texture and flavor
Prevent the growth of foodborne pathogens like Salmonella and Listeria
This tight temperature control is what keeps our clean meal prep truly fresh from production to your doorstep.
Sanitation & Hygiene Protocols
Clean meal prep doesn’t stop with the equipment. It’s also about the people and systems behind the scenes. Our kitchen staff follows a rigorous sanitation protocol that includes:
Color-coded cutting boards to prevent cross-contamination
Disposable gloves, changed frequently between tasks
Hairnets, face masks, sleeves, and aprons to eliminate physical contaminants
Hand washing and sanitizing stations at every prep point
Each workstation is sanitized after every production round, and deep-cleaned weekly to maintain pristine conditions.
Clean Facility = Clean Food
We clean our facility from top to bottom, twice daily. This includes:
Floor-to-ceiling sanitization of the kitchen
Steam-cleaning ovens and cooktops
Organizing and deep cleaning cold storage areas
Sanitizing reusable items like trays and equipment
Why? Because the cleaner our environment, the safer your food. Every week, our team is trained and re-trained on cleaning protocols to uphold our gold-standard kitchen environment.
