Chicago, IL - SurfaceGloveTM Now A New HACCP Safety Utensil.
Controlling surface contamination is a constant concern for the food industry. It is widely recognized that commonly used sanitizers and cleaners are not always effective in managing bacterial growth. MicrobeGuard Corporation has a new HACCP safety utensil that helps prevent cross-contamination on food pans, counters and storage surfaces. MicrobeGuard’s SurfaceGloveÔ FoodlinerTM and FoodprepTM antimicrobial papers create a safe, sanitary barrier anytime or anywhere food needs to be prepared or stored.
“Risk is everywhere,” says Mark D. Thomas, FSCI, FMP, Research Chef at the University of Georgia Food PIC and President of M.D.T, LTD. He continues, “Prep, storage, transportation and service environments all provide their own unique challenges. SurfaceGlove can be used to increase the level of safety in each step of the food production process.”
SurfaceGlove is engineered with IndentaTM, a patented, deep textured surface design, consisting of paper and poly layers with antimicrobial properties, which are FDA acceptable for direct food contact. In addition, SurfaceGlove was tested by the NSF Toxicology Group, LLC, whose results showed that a minimum of 4.8 log reduction was recognized with all challenged organisms.
The active ingredient of the antimicrobial agent in SurfaceGlove is silver zeolite. The zeolite disrupts RNA replication, which inhibits the reproduction of organisms. The silver zeolite component of SurfaceGlove is certified by NSF International and is approved by the FDA and USDA for use in food processing applications. In addition, SurfaceGlove is approved by the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service, for use in federally inspected meat and poultry establishments.
“When this product was the design phase, even we didn’t realize its potential”, acknowledges Tony Salemi, MicrobeGuard Partner. “There are so many industry applications where food safety barriers are critical, and where the wrong materials are being used. SurfaceGlove offers a new front-line practice in the battle against bacteria. It’s a continuous, replaceable sanitary surface that can be used anytime, anywhere.”
MicrobeGuard Corporation is the originator and manufacturer of the patented SurfaceGlove products. Headquartered in DesPlaines IL, MicrobeGuard provides innovative safety solutions for the food and hospitality industries.
