HACCP at Cinque: Applying Food-Safety Principles

Revisiting the 2020 announcement and the role of Quality Award in organising food-safety procedures.

Published 2020-04-16 · Cinque — The Greek Wine Journey

In April 2020, Cinque shared its application of HACCP food-safety principles through the procedures of Quality Award. The original announcement and accompanying image form part of our record of work on food handling and operating procedures.

Quality Award is the name of the service provider. In this context, it should not be read as the name of a competition prize or a blanket statement of certification for every Cinque location.

What the original announcement records

Quality Award describes its HACCP service as including a study, staff training and a verification inspection. It explains that completion leads to an attestation that the business applies HACCP principles according to its procedures.

The accompanying image is retained from the 2020 article. This historical record does not, by itself, establish the current validity, scope or coverage of certification at other premises.

Care behind the hospitality

For Cinque, the purpose of organising food-handling procedures is to support the hospitality offered at the table. Clear responsibilities and careful preparation matter alongside wine knowledge and the welcome given to a guest.

The original article connected this work with staff training, operational consistency and guest trust. These remain useful priorities for discussing how a hospitality business organises its work.

A record of a specific step

We preserve this announcement as a specific step in Cinque’s journey towards more organised operating procedures.

Questions about documentation for a particular location or period should be answered using the relevant current records. The date and scope of a document matter as much as its name.

Continuing the work

Our approach to hospitality includes attention to the practical details behind each visit. The 2020 announcement belongs to that story of preparation, responsibility and ongoing improvement.
