Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli in York was struggling to maintain clear separation of ingredients in their increasingly busy walk-in fridge, leading to inefficiencies and concerns over allergen management. They needed a simple, uniform solution that the whole team could adopt easily.
"We were using a mishmash of containers and it was chaotic. The Hygiplas trays brought immediate order. The clips mean every member of staff knows exactly what's for raw meat, what's for dairy, and what's for cooked items. It's a weight off my mind."
Mark Riley – Owner
After implementation, the deli reduced its ingredient prep time by 15% and passed its subsequent EHO inspection with flying colours, with the inspector specifically praising their organised storage system.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the containers and lids a thorough wash with warm, soapy water.
- Decide on your colour-coding plan. A common system is Red for raw meat, Blue for raw fish, Green for veg/salad, and so on.
- Brief your team on the new system to ensure everyone is on board and understands which colour means what.
- Simply snap the appropriate colour clip onto the designated spot on the container and the matching lid.
Keeping It Going
- These containers are fully dishwasher safe. For best results and to prolong their life, place them on the top rack.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, as this can scratch the surface and make it harder to clean over time.
- Check the lids for a tight seal regularly to ensure food stays fresh and prevent any accidental spills.
- Keep the spare clips you're not using in a designated tub or drawer so they don't get lost during busy services or clean-down.

Ever wondered what those little coloured clips are really for? They’re a simple but powerful tool for implementing a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system in your kitchen. Think of it like a traffic light system for your food. By assigning a colour to a specific food group—say, red for raw meat and green for vegetables—you create an instant visual cue for your staff. This massively reduces the risk of dangerous cross-contamination, where bacteria from one food type transfers to another. It's a small detail that helps you meet food safety standards, protect your customers, and run a more professional, organised kitchen without complex training.
