Through a discovery call, virtual, or on-site assessment, Vikan SQF Practitioner certified specialists will assist in confirming that your system and cleaning tool inventory aligns with your risk management objectives while pinpointing any missing tools and enhancing maintenance and usage practices. Evaluate whether your existing tools are utilized in the most effective manner, or determine if a more suitable tool exists for the task at hand. Ensure that your tools comply with all relevant standards and regulatory requirements. Site evaluations encompass a summary survey, an overview of the location, a color-coded factory layout plan, product suggestions, a recommended order form, and a proposal for a follow-up survey.
This is a comprehensive program for the food processing industry. Nelson-Jameson brings together the most extensive collection of color-coded products for material handling, product handling, janitorial, safety, apparel, QA/QC, and metal-detectable applications. With the right pieces, a color-coding system is a powerful tool in preventing cross-contamination of allergens and food-borne illnesses that can lead to sickness or expensive product recalls.
Food safety is crucial in protecting consumers, and understanding how to ensure your program scales alongside your business is crucial in maintaining success. A program isn’t merely a matter of compliance; food safety is an ongoing initiative that must meet current demands and proactively stay ahead of emerging challenges.
Using metal-detectable or x-ray detectable items and following industry guidelines can significantly reduce the risk of product contamination, maximizing food safety and ensuring the integrity of your product.
