We're continuing our Hidden Dangers: Prevention series this week by turning our attention to frozen foods. Each product segment in the food industry faces unique risks and hazards related to the processes and equipment they use. We're highlighting some segment-specific hidden dangers and recommending preventive measures to stop them in their tracks.
Hidden Danger: Broken, cracked and chipped plastic utensils like shovels and scoops used in direct contact with the product can lead to potential foreign material risk and/or difficulty in cleaning.
Solution: Ensure these utensils are part of your pre-operational inspection to check for their integrity. Train your front-line employees on what to look for and who to contact to obtain replacement utensils.
