🙂 Pagachey’s values
Within today’s food system, Pagachey adds what is missing so that food that could go unsold, or be lost, doesn’t go to waste.
Pagachey stands for 3 core values:
- Reducing food waste is our first goal.
- Hygiene standards come first: Pagachey aims to uphold and promote them.
- Encouraging friendly encounters around good food deals.
European regulations require anyone, individual or company, who offers food for sale to guarantee that it is fit for human consumption, and to do so under the best possible conditions. With that in mind, Pagachey would like to share a few good practices.
👍 Good practices to follow
Offering a food product on Pagachey? Then you are a poster.
When handing over the dish or product, even if you did not prepare it yourself, take care of the presentation.
A warm welcome and courtesy are part of what you offer.
If you meet the requester somewhere neutral, the same standards apply!
Food packaging, cutlery and napkins are not part of your offer, but if you provide them, the requester will be all the happier.
In general, anything that can improve their experience is worth considering.
Finally, your dish must be described accurately. If something runs out, remember to update your listing.
The availability you show is the minimum you must stick to. Nothing stops you from suggesting other time slots when you get in touch with the requester.
The more responsive you are to requesters, the better your chances of sharing, and the more your engagement shows.

⚕️ Food handling reminders for posters
Before handling any food you share, wash your hands.
The utensils you use and your work surface must be clean.
As these products are perishable, they must be kept in suitable conditions, which means in the fridge for fresh products.
Tidying and cleaning your fridge regularly is a good habit to keep up as often as possible.
Transporting and storing food within the recommended times is essential.
If the products you offer are of animal origin, cooked by you, and you wish to declare a regular activity in France, here is the form to fill in: https://www.formulaires.modernisation.gouv.fr/gf/cerfa_13984.do
