Hygienic standards in food processing operations continue to rise with each passing year, and they have never been higher than they are today.

Food sanitation provides great opportunities or challenges, depending upon how you like to view the opportunities at hand.

It is widely accepted that ATP testing can be a valuable tool in monitoring and trending overall hygiene levels in food environments, but is it sufficient?

Biofilms occur widely in nature and may become major problems in foods and in processing facilities.

Similar to any ongoing improvement process like HACCP, the integrated cleaning and measurement cycle typically follows the four steps of measure, compare, experiment, implement.

The most obvious way to increase the force in a processing line cleaned by clean-in-place systems is to increase the volumetric flow rate.

The basis for sanitation is the removal of soils from the manufacturing environment.  

Integrated cleaning and management is an open-source system that produces better, healthier and synergistic results as validated by scientific measurement.

Unlike foodborne infections that strike without warning, folks who have food allergies (or food intolerance) generally know of them and avoid the offending ingredients.

While the senses of sight, touch, hearing and smell are not the only tools used to eliminate contamination, they are not used as often or as thoroughly as possible.
