As the manager of a food processing plant in you know that your plant must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Chances are that you know that fact but do you know the difference? Just because you make sure a good clean takes place so should know a good sanitizing should take place.
The difference between the two are that a cleaning will remove what you can see such as dirt, debris and grime while sanitizing surfaces will remove microorganisms after a surface has been cleaned. A cleaned surface should be sanitized to prevent cross contact of food allergens which is paramount in a food processing plant in London. Keep in mind that all surfaces in a food processing plant need to be cleaned and sanitized.
You probably put a lot effort in to making sure your food processing plant is clean but drain systems can sometimes be overlooked or forgotten by the food and beverage industry. Bacteria will grow in a drainage system. Pathogens like listeria, salmonella, and E. coli can live and grow in a dirty drain and will eventually spread, leading to contamination of more areas of your facility. Make sure your drainage system is cleaned as well as sanitized. Drainage systems in food processing plants that are not sanitized will promote contaminant growth that could lead to an infestation of unwanted insects. Yes, the drains need to be cleaned regularly but they also need to be sanitized to not only keep food products free from bacteria but also to keep employees and visitors healthy. Just because surfaces and drains look clean, (free of debris and the like), doesn’t mean they are sanitized. Cleaning and the sanitizing process are two separate procedures. A clean involves a “wipe down” or rinse of the surface but the sanitizing process involves the use of safe chemicals designed to destroy bacteria and pathogens. The chemical used in sanitization is generally called a disinfectant. Sanitizing and disinfecting products will kill bacteria. A drain system could be considered “hard-to-reach” so special consideration and effort needs to take place with cleaning and sanitizing.
