Why do hands need to stay clean? HACCP

Keeping hands clean no matter what you are doing is a simple and effective way to avoid diseases spreading. In the food industry this is even more important.

There are many diseases that can spread in food preparation areas if hands are not cleaned using proper washing procedures. The diseases that can be spread by dirty hands can cause a myriad of ailments.

The shigella bug can cause diarrhoea and streptococci can give you a sore throat. Haemophilus can cause pink eye to spread and streptococcus pneumoniae can give you pneumonia. Pseudomonas can infect wounds and Hepatitis A will cause jaundice and diarrhoea. Staphylococcus will create boils. E Coli and bacteroides will spread if hands are not washed after toilet use.

None of these germs need to be spread if hands are washed regularly and properly and good manufacturing procedures are followed.

Blendwell Cleaning Solutions is able to supply many different hand-cleaning products depending on your requirements. We are your local cleaning chemical supplier.

How to clean - cosmetic and pharmaceutical


It is not only the food industry that has very strict controls on the manufacturing process to ensure that the highest hygiene standards are met. Another industry that benefits from the use of HACCP compliant cleaning chemicals is the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

How to clean - fish, poultry and abattoirs


Cleaning in fish, poultry and meat abattoirs takes serious planning and cannot be done without a proper system in place. It is vital to have a hygiene management programme firmly in place in this environment.

There is a huge amount of organic waste that is generated in these industries during the slaughter and processing of carcasses. The environment where animals are reared usually contributes to a high microbial burden on the carcasses. If these environments are not kept clean people can get seriously ill from things like E. Coli and salmonella.

The h-range of HACCP compliant cleaning chemicals is perfectly suited for cleaning this environment. There are many products in the range to clean and disinfect to ensure hygiene. Blendwell Cleaning Solutions manufacture this range of cleaning products at their factory in Halfway House, South Africa.
