Food recalls can have significant financial implications for processors, incurring substantial direct costs with potentially higher long-term impacts. While many avenues exist to reduce costs, the best way is to avoid a recall in the first place – and optimizing hygiene plays a key role.
Here’s how leaders can optimize hygiene processes and mitigate risks of a recall:
Maintain an ongoing food safety culture. In addition to receiving technical training on cleaning their machines and safe food handling, employees need ongoing formal instruction on hand hygiene best practices. Training must be sustained beyond the standard onboarding at the start of the job.
Design hygienic facilities. Whether in a new facility or a re-designed space, leaders can improve hygiene with Tork Vision Cleaning. The user-friendly app uses real-time data to help facilities identify cleaning service needs, like when to refill dispensers, helping you save time on cleaning and reducing tasks like dispenser checks, helping you save time on cleaning and reducing tasks like dispenser checks.
