The BEST way to LABEL portion scoopers.

VOLLRATH NSF CERTIFIED “DISHERS”.

There are several types of portion scoopers on the market, but the specific one we are referring to in this article is the Vollrath NSF Certified Dishers One Piece Color Coded Handles (vollrathfoodservice.com). This scooper is very popular, durable, and is used by thousands of foodservice operations daily. These types of portion scoopers (sometimes called dishers) are used in Ice Cream shops, Bars, Catering Services and more.

Jimmy John’s Tuna & Chicken

For example, Jimmy John’s uses this scooper for their Tuna and Chicken. Since we have provided them band kits, they contacted us requesting a solution. They needed a way to differentiate the two because they look very similar and could be mistaken for one another. By labeling them you significantly reduce the risk of cross contamination. We designed a label to fit around the portion scooper handle seen above. Separating the two is extremely important because some people are allergic to Tuna or Chicken.

Food Safety

An important application for this product would be in ice cream shops. For example, say they serve regular ice cream and Vegan ice cream. It would be highly important that the same scooper is not used for both, leading to cross contamination. It would be very helpful to have a silicone band that says “VEGAN” on one to identify it. This is a necessary extra step in assuring your customers are safe!

Portion Control

Another use of this product could be to label the size(oz) of the scooper, so you get the correct portion every time. As pointed out in this forum: Best practice to label thumb scoopers/dishers | SolveForum | S2, the exact size of the scooper is hard to identify without measuring it. The scoopers come in 9+ different sizes. Our bands can be used to label the ounce scoop it is. This would help to ensure correct portions even in a fast-paced environment.

Training tool

When training new staff, ingredients can often look very similar. By labeling your portion scoopers, ladles, and other utensils, new employees will immediately be able to identify the ingredients. This will quicken and enhance the whole process!

Conclusion

There are many several important uses for this product! No matter what your restaurant may need, Culinary ID Bands is committed to finding the perfect solution for you!
