Let's get started!
Hygiene is of vital importance in the food industry. Yet behind seemingly clean surfaces lies an often-underestimated risk: biofilm. A biofilm is a tough, microscopic layer of bacteria and other microorganisms that attach themselves to surfaces – such as pipes, machines, conveyor belts and worktables – and encapsulate themselves in a self-produced slimy matrix.
This layer is barely visible but poses a serious threat to food safety. Within such a biofilm, pathogenic bacteria such as Listeria, Salmonella or E. coli can hide and multiply, protected from ordinary cleaning and disinfection. Biofilms are also difficult to remove and can lead to cross-contamination, loss of production, recalls and damage to image.
The solution? A well-considered choice in cleaning.
Standard cleaning agents are often not sufficient to effectively tackle biofilms. That is why it is essential to choose specifically developed cleaning and disinfection products that can break through and prevent biofilm formation.
