Why Food Safety Is More Important Than Ever in 2025 — and How Chemmark’s Low-Temp Systems Help You Stay Ahead
September is Food Safety Month, and in 2025, there’s no better time to talk about what’s at stake—and what restaurants can do to stay protected.
According to recent data from Datassential, 70% of consumers are now concerned about food safety in commercial kitchens. Whether it’s recalls, outbreaks, or contamination, the spotlight on sanitation has never been stronger. At Chemmark of East Texas, we’ve made it our mission since 1987 to help local kitchens not only meet—but exceed—these expectations.
So what’s driving this food safety surge, and how can Chemmark’s exclusive low-temp dish machine solutions give you the edge over providers like the big guys? Let’s dive in.
70% of Consumers Are Worried About Food Safety in 2025
The numbers speak for themselves:
70% of consumers are currently concerned about commercial food safety.
73% actively follow news about foodborne illness outbreaks and recalls.
Women are especially attentive, making up the most concerned demographic.
Consumers today want to know exactly what’s going into their meals—and they want to feel confident that the restaurant they’ve chosen is doing things right, especially behind the scenes.
Food safety isn’t just about compliance anymore—it’s about trust.
Operators Are Feeling the Pressure
With heightened awareness comes increased pressure on operators:
66% of foodservice professionals say one food safety mistake could destroy their reputation.
53% say new regulations are difficult to understand and implement.
Competitors offer national support—but often lack the personal service and speed that local operations demand. At Chemmark of East Texas, we combine Texas-rooted reliability with next-level responsiveness.
Why Chemmark’s Low-Temp Dish Machines Are the Smart Choice
At Chemmark of East Texas, we deal exclusively in low-temp dish machines—and for good reason.
Unlike high-temp models that rely on scalding water, low-temp machines use a chemical sanitizing process that delivers the same sanitization results at lower energy costs and with less wear on your wares. That means:
Safe for delicate glass and plastics
Easier on your utility bill
Effective sanitization every cycle
Competitors may push high-temp options or nationwide programs that don’t suit every kitchen. Chemmark’s focused, flexible low-temp leasing ensures every Houston-area kitchen gets the right fit—and the right support.
And with Chemmark’s trusted lineup of products your dish machine is just the beginning of a complete, food-safe system.
