Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A busy family-run butcher, 'The Henley Butcher' in Henley-on-Thames, needed to upgrade their food storage system to improve efficiency and better align with EHO recommendations. They switched from generic wrap to using the colour-coded Pujadas Polinorm system.
"These red lids have made our chiller organisation foolproof. The team can see exactly what's what at a glance, which speeds up service and gives us total confidence in our cross-contamination procedures. They're tough, they stack neatly, and they just work."
Robert Davies – Head Butcher
The change simplified their stock-taking process and contributed to them maintaining their 5-star food hygiene rating during their next inspection.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
- Ensure your 1/2 gastronorm pan rim is clean and dry for the best possible seal.
- To fit, simply align the lid with the pan and press down firmly around the edges until it snaps into place.
- Use a non-permanent marker on the textured area to label contents and dates.
Keeping It Going
- The lid is dishwasher safe for easy and effective sanitation.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the surface.
- Check for any damage or cracks before use to ensure a continued airtight seal.
- Stack neatly when dry to save space and prevent warping.

Explore more from PujadasBeyond Colour: How This Red Lid Protects Your Kitchen
Ever wondered why professional kitchens use specific colours? It's all part of a system called HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), designed to stop food poisoning in its tracks. The red colour of this lid isn't just for looks; it's a universal code that shouts 'RAW MEAT' to anyone in the kitchen. Think of it like a traffic light system for food. Just as you stop at a red light to avoid a crash, a chef sees a red lid and knows to use a separate chopping board and different utensils to prevent dangerous bacteria from raw meat 'crashing' into ready-to-eat foods like salad. This simple visual cue is one of the most effective ways to ensure food safety, making this Pujadas red gastronorm pan lid a vital tool for compliance and customer protection.
