Risk Management: Food Safety Guidelines from Tronex
The novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted society in unprecedented ways. As a leading food safety personal protective equipment (PPE) supplier, we are seeing the impact on food manufacturers, suppliers, restaurants, and takeout services across the country, as shopping and dining habits quickly and dramatically shift. The constants that remain steady are safety and prevention of cross-contamination. Best practices in food handling, packaging, preparation, and service are as critical as ever to protecting workers and the public from all forms of potential foodborne illness and exposure—to such dangers as Escherichia coli, norovirus, and Salmonella, among others—and, most importantly, maintaining the reputation of each organization’s brand.
PPE is a phrase used constantly now, mostly commonly in reference to the healthcare sector. The foodservice industry, however, is equally reliant on top-quality, effective PPE including disposable gloves and head-to-toe disposable apparel.
