Maintaining hygiene standards
April 1st 2004 High standards of hygiene are essential within any catering establishment and with all the legislation surrounding this area it is of paramount importance that professional organisations are fully equipped and trained to ensure standards remain consistently high.
In food preparation areas bacterial contamination can lead to food poisoning and it only takes a small number of pathogenic bacteria to cause food-borne disease. It is therefore critical to adhere to strict food handling and cleaning and hygiene procedures.
Food areas must be kept clean at all times with all equipment, utensils and food contact surfaces being cleaned and disinfected after every task. Jeyes Professional offer a range of products safe for use in food preparation areas to degrease, clean and sanitise.
The Power range offers a selection of cleaners and degreasers in powder and liquid format. Power Heavy Duty Degreaser tackles tough degreasing jobs, easily removing fat, grease and oil from kitchen surfaces whilst Power All Purpose Cleaner is suitable for use on all washable surfaces and equipment.
The Defence range, as its name suggests, contains a selection of non-tainting sanitisers effective against a wide range of bacteria including Salmonella, Listeria and E-Coli. Defence Liquid Cleaner Sanitiser is available in a ready to use trigger bottle and 5 litre concentrate. The same product can also be supplied in powder format in 5kg or 10kg tubs. Defence Sanitising Tablets are effervescent chlorine bleach tablets which produce a powerful sterilising solution suitable for surface and utensil washing which can also be used for vegetable and salad washing. Defence Sanitising Wipes complete the range offering practical and effective protection against bacteria, available in 100, 200 and 750 sheet tubs.
When used as part of a regular cleaning programme, carried out by properly trained staff, Jeyes Professional products can help ensure standards are consistently high. All products are number and colour coded to facilitate ease of identification and staff training. A free of charge Kitchen Hygiene Wallchart explains where and how to use all the products and the relevant health and safety precautions to be employed in use.
