Taking it to the Next Level
You most likely address much of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)open_in_new regulations in your meat processing facility through following USDA Food Safety and Inspections Service (FSIS)open_in_new regulations and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP)open_in_new. Your facility’s sanitary and hygienic conditions, and overall safe production processes, are regularly addressed to maintain compliance. But if you aren’t taking advantage of UV-C meat treatment (which is HACCP compliant), you are leaving your plant open to deadly contamination risks.
UV Light—HACCP Compliant Technology for Air, Surface & Water Treatment
In their Meat and Poultry Hazards and Controls Guideopen_in_new, USDA lists UV treatment as a “frequently used control” for ready-to-eat food contaminated with Listeria after cooking or other processing. E. coli and Salmonella are also neutralized by UV disinfection. Once you’ve identified the potential bacteria and virus risks your facility faces in each step of processing, you will be ready to include UV-C technology into your HACCP controls. Utilizing HACCP-compliant UV-C meat treatment will help in your efforts to keep all areas in your processing plant sanitary.
Atlantic Ultraviolet’s disinfection and purification systems all use our STER-L-RAY®open_in_new UV-C lamps. They emit UV-C energy at 254 nanometers, a wavelength that’s lethal to virtually all microorganisms with proper dosage. These powerful lamps provide safeguards in meat processing facilities for air, surface, and water disinfection. Read our FAQ post on germicidal ultraviolet light.
Atlantic Ultraviolet’s air, surface, and water disinfection models are an ideal addition to your meat processing facility’s UV-C HACCP controls integration. SaniLIGHT® and Sani·Ray® air and surface fixtures guard against cross contamination that can wipe out thousands of dollars of product. SANITRON® and MEGATRON® water disinfection models help protect the large amounts of water throughout your plant. Contaminated water sprayed in your production processes can transport bacteria through the air to land on surfaces and meat.
