Ecolab, the Hygiene Expert from Farm to Fork

Food hygiene, food safety and brand protection are very topical at the present time. In the recent years, we have observed an increase in consumer concerns about food and food safety. Consumers want to feel confident that food is healthy, nutritious and free of any chemical and microbiological spoilage following a number of food-born incidences and animal disease outbreaks.

There are many risks to product safety on the way from Farm to Fork. Milk, meat, seafood, salads, cereals may become contaminated due to poor farming practices. Food may become contaminated during processing, retailing and preparation due to contaminated raw materials, faulty handling and improper hygiene practices.

The globalization of the food industry as well as food distribution systems and increasing demand for convenient foods have lengthened the food supply chain and consequently dramatically increased the opportunities for contamination to occur.

It becomes therefore very evident that no single preventative measure can ensure the safety of all foods at all stages.

Ecolab has recognised the advantages of comprehensive, vertically integrated hygiene management over the entire food supply chain. With its expert solutions which specifically address the individual hygiene requirements throughout the entire supply chain, Ecolab can establish a value-added relationship with all links in the food chain.

Food safety starts at the farm. Healthy animals and safe raw materials are pre-requisites for the production of healthy and wholesome food. For many years, Ecolab has been the trusted partner of Farmers and Food companies.
