SmartWash Solutions has announced its new EPIC Panel Sterilight, a patent-pending product designed to safely and automatically kill Listeria monocytogenes and other pathogens inside control panels, which is an often-overlooked source of cross-contamination in the food industry.
The dark, damp conditions inside control panels that create a perfect breeding environment for L. monocytogenes and other pathogens. A significant risk of cross-contamination to food products occurs each time the panels are accessed for adjustment or maintenance. Using proven pathogen control methods, EPIC Panel Sterilight can mitigate the risk of cross-contamination from control panels by eliminating L. monocytogenes to below detectable levels, and mitigating further growth.
