Safety & Hygiene

Safety & hygiene

Safe food, from warehouse to your door.

Every order at Gurahano moves through a controlled, sanitized chain — inspected on arrival, stored to standard, packed cleanly and delivered sealed. Here's exactly how we keep your groceries safe.

Aligned with Rwanda Standards Board food-safety guidance

In our warehouse

Sanitization protocols

Daily deep clean

Floors, shelving and prep surfaces are sanitized every shift with food-grade disinfectant.

Pest & moisture control

Sealed storage, humidity management and monitored pest prevention protect every product.

Cold-chain integrity

Perishables are held at RSB-compliant temperatures, logged continuously and audited weekly.

Batch tracking

Every inbound delivery is inspected, logged and traceable back to its source farm or supplier.

During delivery

On the road to you

Handler hygiene

Riders wash or sanitize hands before every pack and wear clean gloves for fresh items.

Sanitized totes

Insulated delivery bags are wiped down between trips with food-safe disinfectant.

Cold on the road

Chilled and frozen goods travel in insulated totes with ice packs to stay within safe range.

Sealed until you

Orders are packed and sealed at the warehouse — tamper-evident tape stays intact to your door.

Fresh & cold-chain care

Produce is packed to breathe, not suffocate; dairy, meat and frozen items travel in insulated totes with ice packs and never sit outside the cold chain for more than the permitted window. If a perishable arrives outside its safe temperature range, we refund or replace it — no questions asked.

Accountability

How we stay accountable

RSB standards

We follow Rwanda Standards Board food-safety guidance for storage, handling and cold chain.

Weekly audits

Internal audits of warehouse and delivery hygiene run every week, with corrective action tracked to closure.

Supplier vetting

Every partner farm and supplier passes a food-safety orientation before listing a single product.
