Castle & Cook Caterers Ltd. (CCCL), the catering company focusing on the
healthcare industry in Kerala, has been awarded the ISO 22000:2005
certification for its excellence in implementing food safety management
systems.
CCCL is the first hospital-caterer in India to achieve this certification.
CCCL was founded in 200, and has been operating in Lakeshore Hospital and
Research Centre Ltd, Kochi, for the past 12 years. The company has now expanded
its hospital-catering portfolio to include Kinder Women’s Hospital and Fertility
Centre, Chertala, and CIMAR Fertility Centre, Kochi.
In 2010, CCCL opened its first world-cuisine restaurant, Lokah Restaurant
and Cafe, at Vyttila, NH 47 Bypass, Kochi. Amidst rave reviews for its
selection of authentic dishes from across the globe, Lokah has further been
recognised with Trip advisor’s Certificate of Excellence in 2013.
The outdoor catering wing of CCCL hosts buffets for private events and
special occasions and also organises sightseeing trips in luxury boats
across backwaters with onboard lunches or dinners. The ISO 22000 standard
combines generally recognised key elements to ensure food safety along the
entire food chain, including interactive communication, control of food safety
hazards through pre-requisite programmes and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and
Critical Control Points) plans, and repeated improvement and updating of the
food safety management systems.
