Food and Beverage Processing

Fresh food, fresh factory

Food & beverage producers are subject to a complex array of safety and hygiene regulations and recommendations to ensure assembly lines, contact surfaces, floors and walls are free of contamination. Industry inspections are rigorous, and failure to meet food hygiene standards leads to public censure, even closure of the facility.

Cleaning in food factories is often predominantly automated, which means a major investment in the equipment to do the job. Once the machine goes into action, service providers and cleaning crews have to have total trust in their detergent to clean plant and equipment on the factory floor, and stay within the narrow time slots allocated for cleaning in facilities operating 24/7.

BASF’s experience with solutions for food & beverage processing mean we know what matters – and can provide the ingredients to make food-factory cleaning both effective and efficient.
