Plastic Pallets have many uses. AIC Plastic Pallets LTD has a longstanding commitment to supplying businesses with hygienic storage, handling, and shipping equipment. It is essential that all businesses that handle food comply with FSA guidelines. This is so that you both obey the law and reduce the risk of your customers developing food poisoning. Business practices that pose health and safety risks can lead to a drop in customer numbers.

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:

1. Avoiding cross-contamination
2. Thorough cleaning
3. Chilling to the appropriate temperature
4. Following full cooking guidelines

It is important to note that the microorganisms that cause food poisoning are invisible and can enter the food chain at numerous points along 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 during transport or while stored on pallets. Wooden pallets are particularly problematic because they create a breeding ground for bacteria, which is why they are no longer 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 spills during transportation, debris can also be easily wiped up with clean water and utensils.
