Despite sanitation being a top concern for food processors and packagers worldwide, recalls keep recurring, impacting the revenue and reputation of businesses. Much worse, are the health issues from bacteria like listeria, E. coli, and salmonella. In the U.S. alone, the cost of medical treatment, lost productivity, and illness-related mortality is estimated to be many tens of billions of dollars a year.
Wisconsin-based Clean Beam aims to change this with its DryZap! footwear sanitization solution. It uses a patented, dry and chemical free application of pulsed ultraviolet (PUV) light that eliminates the cost, safety, maintenance and compliance issues associated with conventional wet boot washing systems commonly used in food plants.
