New Guide to Help Food Processors Clean up

Food factory cleaning and disinfection is the subject of new guidelines produced by the Campden and Chorleywood Food Research Association (CCFRA).

CCFRA said its publication, 'Cleaning and disinfection of food factories: a practical guide', informs manufacturers on when to clean, how to clean and what chemicals to use in order to remove physical, chemical and microbiological contaminants.

"We were aware that are members needed information and good practice advice on cleaning and disinfection and realised there were no other comprehensive documents available to food manufacturers to provide this," the guide's author Karen Middleton told FoodProductionDaily.com

The document was written with the support of a Working Party including representatives from cleaning chemical manufacturers, hygiene service providers, retailers and food manufacturers, according to Middleton.

"The guidelines are targeted at all food processors worldwide, however any information on legislation will be specific to the UK/Europe and the disinfectant test methods discussed are the recognised European Norms (EN)," she added.
