Overcome Food Service Challenges in Your Correctional or Detention Facility
Food service in correctional and detention facilities comes with a unique collection of challenges—but you can overcome many of them by switching to powdered and dehydrated food products from Food Concepts.
Common Problems, Solved by Food Concepts Products
Since 1980, we’ve been helping correctional like yours, including prisons, community corrections facilities, jails, detention facilities, administrative facilities, and more to solve these problems:
High Shipping Costs
When you’re not paying to ship products that are mostly water, you will experience drastic savings. See the calculations for yourself and then get a quote.
Limited Storage Space
Shelf space comes at a premium, but when you’re not storing prepared products, you can more than double your available cubic footage. Get real numbers, and then contact us for a quote.
Excessive Environmental Waste
When you purchase prepared foods, the amount of plastic, cardboard, and other waste can overwhelm your staff and the environment. When you choose Food Concepts products, the remarkable reduction in waste means you’ll be making a difference that benefits everyone.
Safety Concerns
Less chopping, cutting, heating, and other potentially dangerous activities can be reduced or eliminated when you use powdered and dehydrated foods in your kitchen. Heavy cans cannot be used as weapons. Plus, you won’t have to worry about expired dairy spoiling anyone’s day.
Frequent Ordering
Your staff is already busy, and having to order products weekly, or even monthly, adds unnecessary tasks. Because our powdered and dehydrated products yield much more than prepared food per cubic inch of storage space, you can feed more people with each shipment and order less frequently.
Limited Refrigeration Space
When you reduce the amount of milk and other perishables that require refrigeration, your walk-in cooler’s inventory will be more easily managed, safer, and less expensive to maintain.
Religious Requirements
Your facility’s population likely has varying religious requirements for food ingredients and preparation, which are supported by law. Our products (shelf-stable meals, particularly) are meatless, Kosher-certified, and Halal-certified.
