Certified for food handlers
27 February 2014
Hygiene regimes for people handling food professionally can now be simultaneously improved and sped up according to Mitsubishi, following NSF International / American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) 169 accreditation of the Mitsubishi Electric Jet Towel hand dryer.
Hygiene is critical in all industries handling food. This includes food hygiene during the production activities and personal hygiene by the staff.
The Mitsubishi Electric Jet Towel is a high-speed hand dryer with an operating time from only nine seconds, one-quarter of that of typical evaporative dryers. This encourages users to dry their hands thoroughly rather than settle for a partial drying, which can represent a significant hygiene risk.
Significantly, Mitsubishi Electric Jet Towel directs moisture from just-washed hands straight towards an integral drain for hygienic disposal. Other high-speed dryers let water drip onto the floor, while hot air dryers evaporate it so that it is likely to recondense on cold surfaces such as taps and door handles.
NSF/ANSI 169 is a globally recognised standard for the food, healthcare, laboratories and other hygiene-critical industries.
