At Lofty Pursuits we value your safety and ability to enjoy our candy. We believe that transparency is the best policy at times like this. For the duration, we have implemented the following safety policies. They will be updated if the CDC changes guidelines.
What we are doing for you
- We are protecting the candy we make. The candy we make has a lifespan of three to six months. According to the World Heath Origination (WHO) the virus has a life span of not more than 2-3 days. After the candy is bagged and sealed, we are storing our candy for 5 days before shipping it. This will give at least two more days for it to be away from humans.
- Keep in mind, when we give out samples at our store, those samples just came from a pot that was cooked at over 270 degrees for more than 15 minutes. It's about as safe as we can get due to the heat. If you don't want a sample, that's ok, we won't be offended. There will be more for us.
- We made more backup candy over the past few weeks to ensure a 5+ day supply, so unless your candy is a pre-order this should not effect ship times.
- If you have any questions, please let us know through the Contact Us form.
What we are doing for our staff:
- We are implementing a way for a way for our staff to continue to receive their paychecks. This will remove any incentive to come in if they get sick.
- We have trained and re-trained our team to keep up with the current sanitization guidelines. Our staff have gotten refresher instructions on hand washing and minimum intervals for hand-washing. They now have audible alarms to remind them of what to do and when to make sure it is done when it is needed. We want them to stay healthy, and you as well.
- Starting 3/14/2020 all employees will have their temperature checked before their shift starts.This is both for their, our, and your protection. We are recording these temperatures in case we see trends.
We have a four-stage plan to protect our staff's health and personal well being, in case they or someone they care for becomes ill including checking the temperature for each employee before every shift.
