A Holistic Review of Cleaning Chemistry Effectiveness, Allergen Management and Best Practice
Open Plant Cleaning (OPC) is a necessity in the food and beverage industries to ensure consistent hygiene standards are maintained and food safety is not compromised. However, cleaning your facility to the required level to reach food safety standards impacts production time, labour and utility costs.
Through many years of helping food and beverage processors optimize OPC processes, Diversey has found that in the average food processing plant, 65% of the cost of OPC is attributed to labour and time*. Optimizing the cleaning process can unlock up to 30% or more of the cleaning time and resource requirement†. How would re-deploying time and resources impact your business?
