Technical Bulletin: Validate Laundry Temperatures in High-Risk Food Production

Maintaining impeccable laundry hygiene is paramount in high-risk food production environments. Inadequate wash temperatures can harbour harmful bacteria, posing a significant threat to food safety and public health. Traditional temperature monitoring methods, such as manual logs and unreliable thermometers, often introduce inconsistencies and potential for error.

Our Laundry Strip temperature-sensitive labels offer an ideal solution for accurate and verifiable temperature monitoring in laundry processes. These innovative labels irreversibly change color at a pre-determined threshold temperature, providing visually verifiable confirmation that wash cycles have reached the critical level for bacterial control.

Benefits for High-Risk Food Production:

• Accurate & Reliable: Eliminate the uncertainty of manual record-keeping with tamper-proof, colour-coded confirmation of target temperatures being reached.

• Enhanced Food Safety: Ensure hygienically clean linens and garments, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

• Operational Efficiency: Streamline laundry processes by quickly identifying wash cycles that fall below target temperatures, reducing rework and wasted resources.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Minimize expenses associated with improper wash temperatures, including rework, product recalls, and brand damage.

• HACCP Compliance: Facilitate auditable wash cycles and data-driven decision-making for robust HACCP compliance.

Technical Specifications:

• Activation Temperatures: Available in a range of activation temperatures to cater to specific hygiene requirements for different garment types and wash cycles.

• Material: Our labels are constructed from durable materials suitable for industrial laundry environments, withstanding high temperatures and harsh chemicals.

• Integration: Suitable for incorporating into HACCP record-keeping.

Implementation and Usage:

1. Label Selection: Choose the appropriate temperature-sensitive label based on the required activation temperature for the specific wash cycle and garment type.

1. Application: Securely adhere the label to the designated area on the garment or linen.

1. Wash Cycle: Launder garments and linens as per the established protocol.

1. Verification: Post-wash, visually inspect the label for color change, confirming that the target temperature was reached.

1. Record-Keeping: Maintain documentation of wash cycles and label color changes for HACCP compliance purposes.

Temperature-sensitive labels represent a significant advancement in ensuring laundry hygiene and HACCP compliance in high-risk food production environments. By offering unwavering accuracy, enhanced food safety, and operational efficiency, these innovative labels empower quality assurance professionals to safeguard consumer health and brand reputation.
