A diverse and complex industry, food
processing encompasses manufacturers
of nearly every kind of food product,
from canned soups and ketchups to
cereals and hot dogs. Like dairy plant
and agribusiness operators, food
processors have tanks in which food
is mixed and pipelines in which it is
transported, along with specialized
equipment, such as fryers and ovens,
that must be cleaned. Also, like dairy
and agribusiness customers, each food
processor must meet stringent standards
to prevent food contamination, which
can result in reduced shelf life or
foodborne illness.
Food & Beverage is strengthening
its presence in the food processing
industry by changing the way producers
approach food safety. The division is
accomplishing this through an even
stronger emphasis on the importance of
comprehensive cleaning and sanitation
from the beginning to the end of the
process. Multiple interventions provide
an innovative, integrated and efficient
approach to maximizing food safety.
Ecolab’s complete program is specifically
developed to address every critical
control point in customer operations.
The Inspexx and Sanova lines of carcass
wash products, for example, were
formulated to provide control of
microorganisms on the surfaces
of meat and poultry.
Automated dispensing systems, advanced
detergents and sanitizers, patented food
surface treatments and a complete
personnel hygiene program, help
provide food products in which virtually
all pathogens and spoilage organisms
are reduced. Ecolab’s integrated,
comprehensive approach to food safety
is unmatched in the industry. Corporate
and regional accounts contribute a large
portion of Food & Beverage’s food
processing sales. Sole and preferred
supplier relationships with major food
processing companies are a key factor
in the division’s growth in this area.
