Food and catering - Antibacterial Protection Solutions

Food & Catering Bacteria Protection - BiocoteDid you know that each year there are:

  • An estimated 9 million cases of gastro-enteritis
  • 1 in 10 people suffering from food-borne illnesses (5.5 million people)
  • Over 1000 cases of E-coli every year (under reported)

The main causes of such infections are cross-contamination e.g bacteria being passed from surface to surface, dirty environments, for example unclean work surfaces and poor hand hygiene i.e 39% of employees in the catering industry do not wash their hands after visiting the lavatory.

Food poisoning outbreaks never fail to reach the media’s attention, making business eager to find ways to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and consequential illnesses.

BioCote® antibacterial protection solutions is ideal for application on appliances, machinery, equipment and surroundings where food is produced, packaged and prepared, to help improve the sanitary and hygienic conditions of the environment.

BioCote® antibacterial protection solutions is effective against E.coli, Salmonella, Staph. aureus and Campylobacter, all of which can cause problems in the food and catering industry. With the Food Standards Agency’s targets to reduce the number of food-borne illnesses by 20%, BioCote® can help improve hygiene standards to meet these goals.

For businesses that use a HACCP food management protocol or maintain a due diligence defence, BioCote® antibacterial protection can be part of the evidence of compliance, required to highlight preventative measures taken to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
