In our last blog we started a discussion of food safety and the role clean rooms play in that important task. In most food production facilities, there are a number of barriers established to keep the final food product clean and safe for consumers. We will discuss four barriers that can commonly be found.

The Site

• The building wherein the food is produced is the first barrier contamination for food products. The exterior of the building is more important that one might first consider it to be.
• The building site must be secure from intrusion from unauthorized people or animals, both wild and domestic. Guard houses and good fencing is needed to maintain this primary barrier.
• The location of the site must have good drainage to keep flooding and water pooling to a minimum. Any standing water (or flowing water for that matter) will attract birds, rats, and insects, all of which can pose hygiene problems for food manufacturing.
• Even the landscaping around a food manufacturing facility should be considered to maintain the highest level of cleanliness

We will continue discussing this first of four barriers in food safety in our next blog. Order your TEXWIPE swabs and wipes to keep your food production as clean as it needs to be.
