Sampling in the Food Industry
The food industry conducts hundreds of tests daily to ensure consumer safety, and its sampling equipment needs are critical. The quality of raw materials and end products must be rigorously controlled, foods must be tested for harmful microorganisms such as Salmonella and Listeria, and quality control of food properties is paramount. LABPLAS offers a variety of sampling solutions to meet the many needs of this industry.
Identification of bacteria
Food products must undergo frequent sampling procedures to ensure that they are free of pathogens. These methods require the use of suitable and sterile tools to avoid any cross-contamination that could skew the results.
Facility cleanliness
Several sampling tests are required on contact and non-contact surfaces. The purpose of these procedures is to evaluate the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection processes and to detect potential pathogens.
Sampling of finished foods
Finished food products are subject to strict standards. Regular sampling is necessary to ensure quality and to avoid contamination that could affect the health of the consumer.
Applications
Reliable and safe sampling tools are essential in order to carry out the various tests and analyses required within this industry.
-
Salmonella detection
The Government of Canada proposes to implement a sampling program for raw chicken mixtures in order to demonstrate the absence of Salmonella contamination. Sampling processes must meet specific requirements that require the use of reliable and safe tools.
-
Cross-contamination
Food procedures are very strict when manufacturing peanut-free food products. Cross-contamination can occur during reception, production, equipment cleaning and maintenance, storage, and even through personnel. It is therefore essential to establish strict cleaning processes and verification methods including surface sampling.
-
Quality of water for consumption and manufacture
A rigorous sampling process ensures that microorganisms indicating unsanitary conditions, such as coliforms, are not present. This bacterial group is used as an indicator of water quality to help identify food contamination hazards.
The LABPLAS advantage
Doing business with LABPLAS ensures you quality products and a service adapted to your needs.
Guaranteed sterility
LABPLAS products are sterile, either by the very process of extrusion or by irradiation. The sterility of the manufactured bags is checked periodically by periodically sampling and analyzing the different production lines.
