Who guarantees the quality?
Old red brick, from which the walls are laid and at the top, near the roof, there is an ornament, large windows, cast iron- iron handrails on the stairs. It is perhaps all reminiscent of the age of this three story building. The rest & mdash; from interiors to equipment & mdash; supermodern.
It was built in present-day Reutov in 1917 as a factory, and now the AVK company has opened a large production and logistics complex here (5.5 thousand square meters) to supply food in hospitals in Moscow and the Moscow region.
The red ribbon was solemnly cut with the distinguished guests on September 29. But this is more of a symbolic event, because already now the complex is providing food to & nbsp; 60 medical institutions: 17 Moscow and 43, Moscow region, including in the city clinical hospital & nbsp; n ° 40, n ° 67 im. Vorokhobov, No. 50 from the name Spasokukotsky, No. 81 from the name Veresaeva, Filatov Hospital and Moscow Clinical Center for Voronovskoe Infectious Diseases. & Nbsp;

As the & nbsp; executive director of the company Yury Ostyuk , during 12 years of work in the field of social catering, the company built a perfectly functional algorithm for interaction with the management and dietetic services of hospitals, mastered all the nuances of the preparation and delivery of meals at catering units of medical establishments.
And it has become clear that the hospital catering system lacks specialized centers that can guarantee a high level of food quality control.
“ When the pandemic broke, this project became in high demand in covid hospitals. After all, it's not easy to organize food there. First of all, the question arose: how to feed people in & bdquo; red zone & ldquo; ? & mdash; Youri Ostiouk explained. & mdash; And so we came up with our concept, which we had already developed, and in 3 weeks we started production in Moscow. & # 39; & # 39;
Then it became clear that the tested model had good prospects, & mdash; and now a larger project has started. & nbsp;

4 healthy meals
The production and logistics complex performs many functions. Here the raw materials are accepted and checked in the laboratory, then & mdash; temporary storage. The next step & mdash; manufacture of dishes. For each medical institution, a set for each day is formed separately. And then they are delivered to hospitals by specialized vehicles.
The rations are individually packaged using a modified gas rack. This advanced technology greatly extends shelf life while preserving taste and appearance. In this case, you don't need to freeze the product or add preservatives to it.
Employees put neat transparent boxes with borscht, soups, goulash mashed potatoes, salads and other delicacies on movable shelves. Company technologists and hospital dieters have so far developed 4 diet tables: a soft diet, a high protein diet, a surgical diet and a diet for patients with diabetes sweet. But there are plans to expand the assortment to 9 tables.
The executive director of AVK explains that the local production facilities make it possible to prepare 60,000 dishes per day.

Manufacturers from the Moscow region
In addition to hospitals, the complex is ready to provide meals to schools in the Moscow region, especially since a separate food production facility has been established for children with nutritional needs (sick allergy ).
Attend the opening ceremony & nbsp; to the Minister of Education of the Moscow region Ilya Bronstein , according to him, it was necessary to ensure that all products undergo serious control on several levels, that there are decent technological conditions for storage, preparation, packaging and, above all, , fast and fast delivery.
And for the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the region As stated & nbsp; Minister Sergei Voskresensky , & nbsp; it is important that the new complex uses the products of producers of the Moscow region.
“ Today 40% of dairy and fermented milk products come from the Moscow region. But we want it to be 100%, & mdash; he said. & mdash; We are interested in our producers earning and paying taxes to the Moscow region treasury, for our region to develop. & # 39; & # 39; , because part of the taxes will go to the city treasury. In addition, 150 new jobs have already emerged.
“This suggests that the Moscow region is developing and offers good opportunities for business development”, & mdash; does he think.
