The food and beverage processing sector requires strict adherence to sanitation rules and regulations. Tools from Vikan are made out of durable, FDA-compliant materials like polypropylene and stainless steel. Unlike foamed plastic or wooden tools, our high-quality products have smooth surfaces for easy clean-up and better hygiene.

Our tools are hygienically designed, which makes them easier to clean and less likely to harbor bacteria.

Industry challenges and support

Food and beverage products can be contaminated at any point in production.

As a processor, you have a legal responsibility to identify these points and control the hazards identified at each.

Key contamination hazards include:

  • Microbes
  • Cross-contamination of product by other food/beverage products, including allergens
  • Foreign bodies
  • Chemicals

All these challenges present a risk to food and beverage quality, and many to product safety, both can lead to loss of business and damage to brand reputation.

Fortunately, the risks they pose, to both consumers and businesses, can be significantly reduced through the appropriate selection, use, and maintenance of manual cleaning equipment.

Hygiene and product safety expertise

Vikan products and services are based on our unmatched expertise in product safety and hygiene. We continually update and apply our knowledge through energetic relationships with our customers; participation in key food and beverage industry events; and active membership of expert technical organizations, including EHEDG, IAFP, and Campden BRI.

Microbial hazards

Control of microorganisms in your plant is critical to protect your product, your consumers, and your business. Microbial biofilms present a major challenge in keeping your products safe. Biofilms aid the growth, survival, and spread of pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, and Cronobacter sakazakii; and spoilage organisms, including yeasts and molds. In the war on biofilms, manual cleaning tools key weapons in your arsenal.
