*The concern for employee and customer health and wellness is at the top of the 2023 priority list for food handling and manufacturing facilities. That's where the importance of cleaning and sanitizing products comes in, and more than one solution is needed to fight bacteria and stop the spread of harmful pathogens.
When looking at the financial numbers, it's clear that business owners and operations managers worry about the cleanliness of their establishments and may be kept up at night thinking about safety. In 2022, more than 400 million units of all-purpose cleaners and disinfectants were sold in the United States reflecting the need to set and attain sanitation goals when creating a safe environment and reaching sustainability initiatives.
The Importance of Proper Hand Hygiene in the Foodservice Industry
Implementing serious safety and hand hygiene processes in foodservice protects the people you work with and your customers. Keeping hands clean is the easiest way businesses can help prevent the spread of germs, especially pathogens that can fight off antibiotics.
Many medical and healthcare staff members should wash their hands at least 100 times daily. In commercial kitchens, skipping handwashing can lead to harmful microorganisms that spread pathogens. For example, Campylobacter and Salmonella are two bacteria found in poultry that survive on food surfaces for hours or even days.
Sanitizers are a necessary addition to health and safety goals in a commercial facility. They quickly remove germs and harmful bacteria from hands in many instances. However, washing hands with soap is still the most effective option. Why?
- Sanitizers decrease the number of bacteria, but not all.
- Hand sanitizers aren't good for hands with visible dirt and grease.
- Some sanitizers do not remove harmful chemicals like pesticides.
