business practices leading to health and safety risks can lead to a drop in customers.
What is good food hygiene?
Good food hygiene involves keeping harmful bacteria at bay so that diseases cannot develop. The four essential components of food hygiene are:
- Avoiding cross-contamination
- Thorough cleaning
- Chilling to the appropriate temperature
- Following full cooking guidelines
It is important to note that the microorganisms that cause food poisoning cannot be seen and can enter the food chain at numerous points of the journey – from manufacturing to the plate.
The Importance of hygienic food pallets
Bacteria can grow at any point before your product is consumed, including while being transported or stored on pallets.
Wooden pallets are particularly problematic when it comes to offering a breeding ground for bacteria, which is why they are no longer the the first choice for many businesses.
Aluminium and plastic pallets offer greater protection against bacteria, as these do not provide the right environment for the microorganisms to grow.
If there are any spillages in the transportation process, debris can also be easily wiped down using clean water and utensils.
