Another lockdown was implemented again just a few days ago, and just when we thought we were already making progress with the onset of the vaccination efforts being executed throughout the country, it seems like we are again back to Square 1 due to the rising number of cases everyday.
With the threat of the highly transmissible Delta variant, many opt to do their shopping and purchasing of their essentials online instead of the usual heading out to your nearest grocery outlet to avoid risking your family’s safety.
Since I do the budgeting for our groceries in our household, some of the staples that I usually buy every week are the basics like chicken, beef and pork since these are key ingredients which can be made into any dish/ viand with just the right condiments in place, we already have our set menu for the week.
However, one of my worries now since I don’t get to do the grocery shopping by myself that often anymore, is the freshness of the raw ingredients when it is being transported via courier. What is my guarantee that the staples that I purchase online will arrive to me fresh, sterilized and free from contamination?
I guess, if there’s one good things which came about from this pandemic, is that people were forced to pivot and be creative in terms of coping with this situation that we are all in now. Some resorted to online selling or to joining the gig economy and taking on more jobs online to append their income while others solved the various customers pain points which were experienced in this unprecedented times.
One of those is Gerald.ph, an e-commerce grocery platform which reassures us that the chilled goods delivered right at your doorstep are as frozen, cold, and fresh as they were first frozen. Only Gerald.ph delivers your favorite foods in −20°C from their freezer to the confines of your home! This quality assurance also comes with a guarantee that deliveries have been sterilized and thus far from the dangers of a Covid-19 infection.
Dispelling the Fear of Frozen Foods
“People didn’t believe in frozen food,” started Gerald Egrasse, a French food industry veteran whose experience in France and French Africa led him to the Philippines, “but frozen is mostly defrosted food, thawed in transit, then frozen again at home.”
Quality is lost from the time of purchase until the product reaches the home kitchen. “Undergoing multiple temperature changes from the market and multiple defrosting robs food of quality,” he explained, “worse, when they’re stored in less than −20°C.” Frozen food begins to deteriorate when temperatures go up, so freezing is key to fresh foods: flash freezing at the source and keeping in negative temperature from storage to delivery. Only Gerald.ph can do that in the Philippines!
