Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Coastal Catch, a busy seafood takeaway in Brighton, was struggling with a disorganised prep fridge, leading to occasional ingredient mix-ups and wastage. They upgraded their entire storage system with these Hygiplas colour-coded GN containers to create clear separation between raw fish, cooked items, and salad garnish.
"The clip system is so simple but so effective. My team can now grab what they need instantly, and I have peace of mind knowing our food safety practices are top-notch. It's tidied up our workflow immensely."
David Chen – Head Chef
Since implementing the system, The Coastal Catch has reported a noticeable reduction in prep errors during peak times and estimates a 10% decrease in food waste from spoilage.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash the containers and lids thoroughly in warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Simply snap the desired colour-coded clip onto the side or lid of the container.
- For easy identification, use a non-permanent marker on the textured panel to note contents and dates.
- Stack empty containers with lids separately to allow air to circulate and prevent odours.
Keeping It Going
- The containers are dishwasher safe, but placing them on the top rack is recommended.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the surface.
- Regularly check that the lid seals are clean and intact to ensure they remain airtight.
- Do not use in conventional ovens, combination ovens, or microwaves to avoid melting or damage.

Ever worry about a new team member accidentally using the raw chicken scoop in the salad? That's the exact problem the HACCP colour-coding system is designed to prevent. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is the gold standard for food safety, and these clips are your shortcut to implementing it effortlessly.
Think of it like having traffic lights for your ingredients. You simply snap on the right coloured clip: red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for fruit and veg, and so on. This creates an instant visual language that anyone in the kitchen can understand, from the head chef to the kitchen porter on their first day. It removes ambiguity, minimises the risk of dangerous cross-contamination, and shows inspectors that you are serious about food safety. It's a simple, low-tech solution to one of the kitchen's biggest risks.
