  1. 4 Steps to Maintain Good Hygiene in a Food Factory Maintaining food safety is crucial in preventing hazards that render the food unfit for consumption. Unsafe food not only poses short-term health risks but also contributes to a vicious cycle of foodborne illnesses that can prove fatal. As reported by The Hindu, schools across India experienced 979 instances of food poisoning in 2022 alone, marking the highest number of cases reported in six years. Given these concerning statistics, it is imperative for food factories to prioritize maintaining high levels of food protection. Here are four steps that can be taken to ensure optimal food hygiene within food factories: Waste management Waste management is crucial for the food manufacturing industry due to a large amount of waste produced. Improper disposal can attract pests and germs, leading to the contamination of other food products. Secure containers should be used for storage and placed away from production areas. The food factory must also have a waste collection plan that is compliant with the relevant food safety regulations. Follow a regular cleaning schedule. Food factories should follow a regular cleaning and sanitation schedule to ensure food safety. This may include daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly cleaning of food production surfaces, equipment, and other areas within the food factory. Cleaning schedules should be communicated to all individuals working in the food factory and monitored for compliance. Personnel hygiene Personnel hygiene is critical in food factories as employees may be carriers of foodborne illnesses. Factory workers must adhere to personal hygiene practices such as frequent hand washing and the use of protective clothing, gloves, and masks during food processing. Training sessions should be conducted regularly to ensure that food factory workers are aware of the protocols they need to follow when handling food.
