HOW SAFE IS YOUR FOOD DELIVERY?
HOW SAFE IS YOUR FOOD DELIVERY ?
Not So Long Ago, When we get Hungry, we "used to" normally just take a stroll down to the nearest hawker or cafes, not forgetting our favourite 'mamak' restaurant and get our cravings satisfied. But with the 'New Norm' amidst the pandemic everyone is Accustomed to the Online Food Delivery Applications, be it Green, Pink, Orange or any other Online Platforms and Delivery App Thats available out there, Now just to mind you, this INCLUDES the Online Grocery Deliveries too. Of course food delivery has been around even before the pandemic but it has grew to a Mega Mammoth Industry with everyone staying home and reducing outdoor activities. Little did we know that with the increasing growth of the industry, the Industry Players face tighter competition among themselves leading to reduced commission prices, wage wars, and operational costs to keep staying in the game. The concept is You order online, The Rider goes and picks up your food and delivers to you in X Amount of time with Y Amount of Charges.?
Now most of the delivery companies need to lower their costs, and one of the first items to be looked at is the Equipments used by the Riders themselves, which in this case happens to be the 'Food Delivery Bags'. With the rising demand for these bags, so is the supply, and the lower the costs the better it is for the Delivery Companies to manage their Rider Equipments, because lets not forget the Industry Giants like the Pink, Green and Orange companies can have more than thousands of riders at any one time.?
Lets take a look at these "Food Delivery Bags", firstly? they are 'supposed' to keep the temperature controlled for Hot/Cold food in a certain period of time. Secondly, they are 'supposed' to be Hygienic as it is in fact a service being provided to General Consumers and 'Anything' Related to Food being distributed to the General Public should be in someway 'Regulated or Monitored' in your opinion correct? Well As Per Your Shocking Surprise (trust me, I was too), when I found out that there is virtually No Regulation Nor Monitoring Agency for the Food Delivery Industries in ensuring food is delivered in a Controlled Safe Environment and Food Safe Grade Equipment , well locally and internationally except The USA in the state of California where there is a Statutory Bill that was Approved by the State.?
Come to think about it, why does this matter now? Well, Food Hygiene and Safety is very important and it is Applied to every other Industry that comes in contact with food except Food Delivery Companies, For Example there is HACCP, GMP and FSSC Certifications for the conventional food related industries and businesses to apply.

Of course the blame game here is also not to be forgotten, when there is any contamination or cross contamination, lets not forget the Food Vendor relationship is always questioned without a doubt, But IS IT ?
How many Of the Said Food Delivery Companies Are Actually Talking About Food Safety?? The Equipments used in some of these companies shockingly will reveal the truth about the types of very hazardous PVC Materials used to produce these bags so that costs can be kept low, not realizing that as the costs is lowered so is the quality and well being of the said product.?
Now any 'PVC constructed Food Delivery Bag" especially the inner construction, provided to the riders have to be 100% Certain that Hazardous Chemical Ommission does not happen, and to ensure that, they have to be certified and tested against various testing regulations and standards. We do know that Any PVC Material when heated especially for long durations can and in fact will omit harmful substances. Because these bags used to deliver food are using materials that are not certified and tested, we are not certain that food contamination will not happen neither is it safe for transport of Food and Groceries in this case.
How certain are we that the food will not be contaminated during the entire journey? Are we sure that our packaging will not have any leaks ? Even a micron sized hole could contaminate the entire content of your ordered food because we are speaking of Chemical Ommissive Gas produced by harmful materials used to make these bags. Fair to say even if the food is well packaged by the Restaurants or Cafe in this case, what happens if there was some spillage of some of your Favourite French Fries Inside the bag, Won't the Good Samaritan Rider just pick that fallen piece up and just return it back into your order packaging? "The Five Second Rule? Hello!" Are we willing to take the risks of long term contamination of food, because I'm very sure almost every family orders food that includes their children. Are we that naive to not know that Food Safety Should and Always Be A Priority to the Food Delivery Industries? Any Negligence of this initiative could impact the health of our well being as well as our children.?
