FOOD SAFETY
If equipment surfaces are not cleaned
properly between batches, crosscontamination
can occur, introducing
an allergenic ingredient to a product
that should not contain it. "
Eric Garr, Fortress Technology Inc.
equipment tends to be difficult to effectively clean in place.
Weight scales, filling machines, cutting blades and transfer
trays came to mind for Downer as examples of equipment
used for multiple types of products.
" The easiest solution might be to have dedicated
equipment for the allergen products, but that is not always
practical or feasible, " Downer said. " This is where first
selecting the correct equipment that is designed to be easy
to disassemble as needed and cleaned preferably using
automated methods is best. If the equipment is already
in place, have a third-party cleaning audit conducted
where proper cleaning procedures can be evaluated
and implemented. "
Garr advised that taking shortcuts that make cleaning
procedures faster is not only risky, but bad business.
" If equipment surfaces are not cleaned properly between
batches, cross-contamination can occur, introducing an
allergenic ingredient to a product that should not contain
it, " Garr said. " To avoid cross-contamination, dairy
processors should use separate equipment, utensils and
storage areas for allergenic ingredients. They should also
establish a cleaning and sanitation schedule to prevent
cross-contamination. "
Because cleaning manufacturing and processing
machinery is not a contactless task, Garr said, Fortress began
developing " smarter designs to enhance hygiene and safety. "
The company's newest range of food inspection systems
eliminate the use of tools and implement " an innovative
conveyor with a very robust de-tensioning feature to facilitate
deeper and faster cleaning by trained operatives, " he said. To
