Food Hygiene
The food industry gets a taste of Christeyns!
Christeyns will also be sinking its teeth into the Food Hygiene sector from now
on, with a complete menu of solutions to help food manufacturers prevent the risks
of contamination.
Christeyns is already very familiar with the HACCP principles (a method to identify,
assess and control the risks related to food safety) thanks to its many years of
experience in the laundering of work wear for the hotel, catering and food industries.
Our biodegradable Chriox peracetic acid is known throughout Europe as the terror
of every microorganism that could endanger food safety. Potential customers can
therefore really benefit from the synergy with the other Christeyns divisions.
The food branch contains an extremely diverse range of segments, which each require
their own approach: the meat-processing industry, dairy industry (from cheese-making
to milk processing), breweries, chocolate factories, industrial bakeries, frozen
foods manufacturers, canned foods factories, etc. Step-by-step, we search for the
perfect mix of detergents, disinfectants, equipment and service for each one of
them.
Our customers can expect gourmet solutions that are completely tailored to fit their
personal situation. The fact is, we want to be much more than just a supplier. We
are partners, dinner companions who can hold an expert discussion in between courses.
Not only on food hygiene, but also on water and energy saving, and – let’s not forget
– sustainable maintenance. It is primarily this last issue that our service is focusing
on.
For the food processing industry, Christeyns has developed the high-quality product
range MIDA, where hygiene and disinfection are key. And we dish up the supermarket
branch as well. For this purpose we specifically took over the French company ALCAL.
These grocery store specialists have been serving their customers a range of sustainable,
biodegradable cleaning products under the name SYMBIOZ for years. They provide expert
advice, regularly take samples and also offer training courses. In short, it’s a
delightful service, and one that we want to extend throughout all branches.
Our Food Hygiene product range includes, among others, the following basic applications:
- Open plant cleaning: a powerful foam to clean the walls
- Cleaning in place: recoverable detergents and disinfectants to clean closed circuits
- Chriox peracetic acid-based disinfectants
