Why are UV lamps important when it comes to Food Hygiene?

UV disinfection systems are becoming very popular with food manufacturers, as consumers are becoming wary of what is being used in the production of their favourite foods.

UVO3 explains why are UV lamps important when it comes to Food Hygiene?

Food manufacturers are increasingly adopting UV lamps because consumers are becoming more cautious about the use of harsh chemicals in the production of their favorite foods. To avoid losing customers, companies should consider introducing UV lamps into their food hygiene process. This is because UV light does not affect the taste of the final product, does not require extra chemicals, and requires minimal maintenance.

Aseptic food processing is a crucial aspect of food manufacturing, as it involves sterilizing all food products during the filling and packaging process while maintaining a sterile environment. The use of UV lamps plays a significant role in achieving aseptic food processing, as discussed in a previous blog titled “How are UV Lamps used in Aseptic Food Packaging?” Food manufacturers aim to prevent contaminated foods from leaving their factories and reaching consumers, making aseptic food processing an essential practice. This process offers several benefits, including convenience, lower energy consumption, and the protection of nutritional content, which is why more food manufacturing companies are adopting it.

Why are UV lamps important when it comes to Food Hygiene?

Hand hygiene UV light boxes are becoming increasingly popular among food manufacturers. These specially designed boxes emit UV light onto any surface that is placed inside, including the user’s hands. For instance, after applying hand lotion and washing hands, users can place their hands into the box. The UV light bounces off the lotion and reveals areas that have been missed during the washing process. Users can then wash their hands again to prevent any potential cross-contamination. This is crucial in maintaining hygiene standards and ensuring that contaminated foods do not leave the factories and reach consumers.
