Contamination In The Food & Beverage Industry

Controlling contamination is critical in the food and beverage industry, especially during production, processing, and packaging.

The most common sources of contamination are operators, equipment, and environmental factors, which can lead to biological, physical, and chemical risks.

Tricky microbial contamination from Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli, poses severe risks to consumer health, product integrity, and brand reputation.

Effective contamination control, such as using Dycem antimicrobial mats, is essential to minimizing these hazards and ensuring food safety.

Installed several Dycem mats throughout JLR's former 'Engine Manufacturing Facility' in Wolverhampton. Great product with long lasting results with proper maintenance. Would consider them again for any flagship / mission critical facility.

The Team was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. An excellent representation of Dycem culture.

Had a great experience with Dycem from our preventative maintenance, scheduling repairs, and installation. Repair tech was amazing adjusting to our last minute schedule change and went above and beyond. Great accommodation and communication.

Preventing Contamination in Food Manufacturing

Read this guide from Remax Food Products to strengthen the contamination policy in your facility:

“Because personnel handle the food in your warehouse, their practices are closely tied to food safety from contamination. It is the job of the manager in food operations to ensure that all personnel comply with the official contamination policy. To do this managers must oversee the training of personnel on food protection principles and food handling techniques. A training program for permanent, temporary, as well as contract employees needs to be created, evaluated each quarter, and updated if necessary.”
