Food safety offensive PP4C
PP4C is
since 2014 a strategic alliance between a number of specialists in the field of
Controlled Environment technology. These companies have already built many
turnkey cleanrooms for various sectors such as the Pharma- or semi-conductor,
but also within the food sector. With the decades of experience and the largest
number of m2 of realized 'clean spaces' in the Benelux, the combined knowledge
and experience of the PP4C concept for quality and solution-oriented thinking.
At the end
of 2017, PP4C commissioned a study by Wolting Marketing Support within the food
industry in the Netherlands and Flanders Belgium. The question was primarily
about familiarity with zoning within the food industry in 'medium and
high-care' areas. On balance PP4C wanted to know whether the market is busy with
food safety in general, and with control of contamination risks in the air, in
particular.
The results
of the study were in the view of the PP4C organization worrying! In the
Netherlands, and even more clearly in Flanders, a lot of attention is paid to
cleaning surfaces and machines, but people are less aware of the risks of
contamination present in the air. In the Netherlands, just over 50% of the
participating companies had never heard of zoning in risk-determining rooms, in
Flanders this was even more worrying, at almost 75% of the participating
companies! It should be noted that in the Netherlands slightly more than 1,000
food production companies, registered at the Chamber of Commerce, were
approached and the number of respondents exceeded 50% of the total market.
These figures make the report representative and reliable.
PP4C has decided to launch an offensive and to increase the awareness clearly for the obligation of every company active in the food market, to analyse and reduce risks wherever possible. Do you have questions about developments in food safety standards and certification or European regulations, or do you want to know more about the EHEDG guidelines for the design of production facilities and air management? Or would you like to know more about the global developments based on the FDA(FSMA) 'modernization food safety' law in the United States? The team of PP4C tries to provide you with the latest developments at all times and assists you with advice and action for the realization of a correct and safe Food production facility.
