Hygienic design to ensure food safety
Food safety is not only a complex challenge but also an obligation
The responsibility for food safety lies in the hands of producers. To ensure a safe food supply chain, food producers and their partners must implement safe production processes and equipment that comply with the stringent food regulations and standards. In this way, food safety and public health can be ensured worldwide. The use of state-of-the-art measuring technology in hygienic design assumes a central role in mastering the challenges.

Hygienic design prevents food contamination
Producers within the food industry must be diligent and continuously review the production equipment to eliminate the weakest link that may become a source of contamination. This is particularly important when changing recipes or cleaning detergents/procedures since conditions may change. Incorporating good hygiene practices and equipment that conforms to hygienic design criteria is a smart decision. This will significantly reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses.
