Safety and sanitation
Regardless of the techniques used to
provide food safety protection in the
processing environment, all processors
need to have an effective plan in
place and a system to ensure the job gets
done. Nexcor Food Safety Technologies,
Northwest Naturals
found that HPP
technology is the
best way to eliminate
pathogens
from its raw pet
food products.
Northwest Naturals
Buford, Ga., offers solutions to help pet food processors
plan, carry out and track all their food safety procedures.
" Our KLEANZ Food Safety and Sanitation
Management system is an all-inclusive SaaS [software
as a service] solution that targets executing food
safety efforts, " said Randy Kohal, vice president, food
safety and reliability. " KLEANZ drives risk mitigation
by providing the tools for documenting all actions
for a complete audit trail, aggregating data into dashboards
for manager oversight, and real-time scheduling
and task completion through mobile devices. "
KLEANZ provides processors with digital tools to
help design appropriate sanitation programs as well as to
streamline training and tracking of the food safety programs
they implement.
" KLEANZ includes features that allow test points and
results to be compiled into dashboards and interactive
maps for tracking areas of repeat failure, " Kohal said. " It
gives management the knowledge to make quick decisions
and attack areas of failure before they pose a risk to
product and consumers. "
The digitalization of the sanitation program also prevents
gaps in documentation and helps avoid human error.
" KLEANZ keeps all food safety documentation in
one place, in real-time. This means that manufacturers
are covered for any audits and can produce appropriate
documentation when asked, " Kohal added.
While food safety risks in a processing environment
will never be eliminated, using mitigation measures that
are available can help pet food processors provide the safest
pet food possible to their four-legged consumers.
