Improve food processing plant maintenance with high-quality HEPA vacuums
Allergens…insects…rodents…harmful bacteria…every year they cause more than 76 million cases of foodborne illness is the U.S. alone. Food contamination causes recalls that cost food manufacturers hundreds of millions of dollars.
That’s why the U.S. Department of Agriculture now recommends using properly filtered, specialized industrial HEPA vacuums or portable dust collectors as part of Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures. It’s the most cost-effective, efficient way for food processors to comply with the GMPs and HACCPs that have been handed down by the U.S. government to improve food sanitation.
