In the food processing business,
there’s nothing more critical than
food safety. No company wants
to run the risk of cross-contamination
of different food stuffs, or to
poison their customers with tainted
product. While your customers
can minimise cross-contamination
in their homes reasonably simply,
factories can learn from everyday
ways in which to stay safe. Simple
steps – such as buying colour-coded
cleaning equipment – can help
a company avoid mishaps that can
put them out of pocket when items
are recalled, have to be thrown
away before they hit the shelves,
or they cannot go to partners who
need that valuable ingredient to
bring their product to the market.
Ecowize business development
general manager David Clarke
says colour is an important way of
ensuring safety on floors and other
surfaces. “The benefit of having
colour-coded products include minimising
cross contamination, which
can occur between departments in
a food factory, raw and cooked, or
between surfaces, food contact and
floors,” he said. “Floors are difficult
to keep clean as waste products
from processing may fall onto the
area, and traffic, people and trolleys
move through this area. Strong colours
help differentiate equipment
easily. Colour also allows workers
to separate tones used for flooring,
benchtops and other areas that
need to remain clean without the
risk of cross contamination.“Vikan
is the manufacturer behind the
colour-coded products that Ecowize
sells to businesses” Clarke says.
“Vikan knows the primary purpose
of colour-coding is to help prevent
cross contamination, which can
occur as a result of physical factors,
chemical, microbes and allergens,
among many others. The colours
help businesses avoid confusion
in its cleaning processes. They are
also made from EU and FDA-approved
compliant materials.”
Buying the company’s colour-coded
products is easy. All a customer has
to do is add their colour preference
number to the product code to
confirm the product required.
