FIVE-STAR resort Shangri-La Yanuca Island has retained its status as Fiji’s only resort certified for its Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system and the internationally recognised ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System.
The globally recognised food safety system establishes rigorous controls for identifying, managing and preventing potential food safety risks across culinary operations.
Having successfully achieved recertification, the resort said reaffirmed its position as the country’s only resort certified to this internationally recognised food safety standard.
Resort general manager Francis Lee said following a stringent independent audit process, the recertification confirmed that comprehensive food safety practices remained embedded across the resort’s culinary process, from ingredient sourcing and receiving through preparation, service and ongoing monitoring.
“Achieving ISO 22000:2018 recertification is a significant milestone for Shangri-La Yanuca Island and reflects the dedication, teamwork and care demonstrated by our colleagues across the resort,” Mr Lee said in a statement from the resort.
“As Fiji’s only resort certified to ISO 22000:2018, we are proud to give our guests added confidence that every dining experience is supported by the highest standards of care and quality.”
Mr Lee said the certification extended beyond the resort’s seven restaurants and bars to include all colleague dining facilities and operational kitchens, covering a total of 15 food and beverage outlets.
He said their hygiene and sanitation team worked closely with colleagues across culinary, stewarding, purchasing and operations to ensure rigorous food safety practices were consistently upheld.
“As Fiji’s only resort certified to ISO 22000:2018, Shangri-La Yanuca Island, Fiji continues to set a benchmark for food safety excellence in Fiji’s hospitality industry, combining internationally recognized standards with authentic Fijian hospitality.”
In 2001, the Shangri-La Group introduced the Shangri-La Food Safety (SFS) Management System, developed around internationally recognised HACCP principles.
And since 2023, Shangri-La properties have further strengthened this commitment through ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System certification, reinforcing a culture of continuous improvement and internationally recognised food safety practices.
