Hygienic design prevents food contamination
Producers within the food industry must be diligent and continuously review the production equipment to eliminate the weakest link that may become a source of contamination. This is particularly important when changing recipes or cleaning detergents/procedures since conditions may change. Incorporating good hygiene practices and equipment that conforms to hygienic design criteria is a smart decision. This will significantly reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses.
