Dinex Expands Disposable High-heat Meal Delivery Line with Exclusive Three-compartment Plate

Black High Heat 3-Compartment Disposable Plate.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., June 8, 2020 – Dinex®, a CFS Brands company, announces the expansion of its disposable high-heat meal delivery portfolio with the addition of a three-compartment plate to accommodate an entrée and two sides, making it easier to portion and separate food. The high-heat version of the 3-compartment plate is exclusive to Dinex.

The complete Dinex disposable high-heat product line meets emergency preparedness requirements and is ideal for times when dishwashing equipment is down or for areas where china dishes are not permitted.

The new plate fits the existing Dinex 9" high-heat dome and DuraTherm induction bases to hold temperature while delivering meals without replacing existing inventory making it both an economical and functional addition.

“Food plays a critical role in the rapid return of a patient to health, and that includes taste, temperature, and presentation of a meal. Our Dinex portfolio is perfect for hospitals endeavoring to leverage their culinary department to enhance patient satisfaction scores,” said Anthony Kehoe, CFS Brands VP of Sales and Marketing and global innovation leader.

The product development team worked closely with Registered Dietitians to ensure that the compartment sizes were appropriate for meal portions.

“While our current one compartment plate has been very successful, customers have been asking for a way to keep the food separated during meal delivery,” added CFS Brands Group Product Manager Laura Manson. “Many patients do not want their different foods to touch, plus the compartments make it easier to scoop food.”

San Jamar Launches Infrared Thermometers as U.S. Businesses Race to Meet Reopening Guidelines

Non-Contact FDA Infrared Forehead Thermometer

ELKHORN, Wis., June 4, 2020 – San Jamar, a CFS Brands company, launched noncontact infrared human forehead thermometers to help businesses meet federal, state, and local guidelines for the safe reopening of businesses.

The non-contact infrared thermometer is designed for measuring body temperature, specifically for use on the forehead area. The device collects heat radiation emitting from the forehead and quickly emits a sound after each temperature is taken. Requiring no skin contact, it is a more hygienic alternative to oral thermometers.

The device is FDA, CE, and ISO 13485 certified with a one-second response time at a testing range of 1-3 inches (3-5 centimeters) from the forehead. It features 3-color backlight for easy detection of low, normal, and high range of temperatures.

“U.S. workers yearn for the opportunity to return to their jobs – safely. We take pride in providing innovative products to our customers, and when they needed a way to ensure patron and employee safety, we jumped at the opportunity to help,” said Anthony Kehoe, VP of Global Innovation, CFS Brands.

Katie Babcock, CFS Brands Director of Product Development, added, “Our Escali brand of thermometers are respected for precision measurement in the foodservice industry. We are pleased to deliver the same level of accuracy with the non-contact human forehead thermometers.”

Dinex Releases Mobile Handwashing Station

Two versions of the Mobile Handwashing Station

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., June 3, 2020 – Dinex®, a CFS Brands company, today released a mobile handwashing station that will help schools safely welcome students back to campus. Portable handwashing also facilitates the return of outdoor and off-site foodservice for restaurants and catering services.

The mobile handwashing station leverages two five-gallon containers for fresh water and two six-gallon vessels for wastewater. It is fitted with an electric pump to enable up to 70 hot or cold hand-washes.

Constructed of stainless steel, the portable handwashing unit ships fully constructed and requires a 120V electrical outlet to operate the pump. Durable casters allow all-terrain use.

Optionally, the unit can be outfitted with side and backsplashes to minimize germ dispersal, as well as San Jamar® paper towel and soap dispensers.

Tony Sweeney, President of Piper Products, said, “As schools explore alternate means to safely provide meals to students outside of the traditional cafeteria, mobile handwashing is necessary if permanent facilities are unavailable or inconvenient.”

“For schools that need to provide mobile hand washing, the Dinex mobile handwashing station is the personal hygiene solution that helps enable schools to safely re-open per CDC recommendations,” added CFS Brands product manager Herve Boeglin.
