The certification is a testimony of the resort’s commitment in complying and ensuring guests’ safety, as food safety and elevated customer service has always been a priority for the property. This award demonstrates the resort’s robust food safety management system which ensures the team to deliver guaranteed customer satisfaction.

The ISO 22000:2005 specifies requirements for a food safety management system where an organisation in the food chain needs to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards to ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption.

To be awarded this certification, all food related steps from the manufacturing, to storage and distribution are monitored and analysed to ensure they are free of microbiological, physical and chemical hazards. This certificate is highly regarded within the hotel and the food industries and is recognized by Bureau Veritas, the world leader in the field of inspection and verification of certificates.

Thomas Fehlbier, area general manager, Qatar, Minor Hotels Group, said, “We are delighted to receive this certificate, especially that we are the first to get this prestigious accreditation among the Minor hotels family. This certificate reflects our efforts and commitment to adhere to the highest standards of hygiene and food safety in order to safeguard the health of our guests and visitors. At the core of the philosophy of Banana Island Resort, this comes at the top priority to abide by the highest standards in hospitality and we are honored to have reached one milestone.”
