Surface hygiene is essential for food safety. Micro-organisms and food residues on worktops and other surfaces can easily contaminate food, foodstuffs or utensils.
 
Orion Diagnostica’s Hygicult hygiene monitoring tests help to ensure a safe food chain by enabling regular testing of all surfaces in contact with food. The tests help to maintain cleaning performance and the required level of hygiene. The tests are perfect for fast-food outlets, food shops, restaurants, supermarkets and catering establishments.
 
The Hygicult culture tests allow easy sampling and interpretation on site for detection and monitoring of microbial contamination. They can also be used to investigate the bioburden of liquid samples, making these tests ideal for the quality control of products such as beverages and cosmetics.
 
The Orion Clean Card PRO protein test is a wipe-and-read protein test for monitoring surface cleanliness and efficiency of cleaning and washing procedures. Orion Clean Card PRO test allows identification of surfaces that need to be re-cleaned before food preparation.
