It’s vital to follow best practises and regulations around cleaning in the food industry. This to ensure you’re providing the best products and services. As well as guaranteeing the safety of your staff, customers, and clients.

Here are some examples of best practises from the government you should follow:

• Clean & Disinfect Areas Regularly – Regular high-level cleaning means cleaning machinery between uses. This should be a consistent process, not only before and after handling raw meat.
• Don’t Let Food Waste Pile Up – Don’t wait to clean up spills or dropped food. Clean as you work. This will keep the hygiene level of your workplace high and prevent the growth of bacteria.
• Dispose of Waste Straight Away – Clean the workplace regularly and keep it well maintained. Establish a high-level cleaning routine and stick to it. Have a designated area to dispose of waste and set times to do so. This is how you will keep your workplace clean and safe.
• Ensure you are keeping potential cross-contamination to a minimum – in some facilities, particular ingredients and process will be required to happen in different times or areas of the facility to prevent cross-contamination
• Don’t feed the pests! With an abundance of food to hand, food and drink facilities can be a rapid breeding ground for pests who are attracted by the prospect of something to eat. Removing these hazards – such as nesting moths is crucial to ensure that the risk of cross-contamination is minimised.
