Incorporation of hygienic design into your food processing facility can prevent development of pests and microbiological niches for increased food safety.

Activated water closely fits the criteria of cleaner and ‘sanitizer’ versus that of a ‘disinfectant.

The principal goal of the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group is the promotion of safe food by improving hygienic engineering and design in all facets of food manufacture.

The development and implementation of extensive food safety systems at Butterball is ongoing to identify and prevent product contamination.
