We look at FreshCheck's swab-based system and share five key advantages of this innovative solution
In the food processing industry, stringent food hygiene standards are a crucial cornerstone for ensuring food safety, public health, and regulatory compliance. As food safety officers and quality assurance managers, you understand the need for accurate, reliable, and rapid hygiene testing. Traditionally, ATP testing methods have been used, but what if there was a more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective way? In this blog we look at FreshCheck's swab-based system and share five key advantages of this innovative solution.
1. Enhanced Sensitivity and Accuracy
FreshCheck's patented colour-changing swab offers sensitivity and accuracy comparable to ATP methods. But unlike ATP, it's uniquely designed to detect residual and potentially hazardous organic debris. This allows you to better assess your cleaning procedures, making them more efficient while ensuring your environment is safe. With FreshCheck's swab, a distinct colour change indicates the presence of contaminants – there's no ambiguity, just clear results.
2. Cost-Effective and Time Saving
Traditional ATP tests require expensive equipment and significant processing time. These complex devices are prone to wear and tear, which often lead to increased machine breakage rates, resulting in costly repairs and disruptive downtime. In contrast, FreshCheck's swab system produces results in under 30 seconds, saving both time and money. There's no need for costly and fragile luminometers, which reducing equipment and maintenance costs. Plus, the rapid results enable you to swiftly resume your production lines, further enhancing efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
3. User-Friendly and Convenient
The FreshCheck swab is designed for ease of use, making it accessible to all members of your team, regardless of technical expertise. Simply swab the area, observe the colour change, and interpret the result - it's that simple. Furthermore, the swabs are stable for over a year at ambient temperatures, unlike ATP swabs that often require refrigeration and adjustment to room temperature before use. This feature makes FreshCheck's swab system an even more convenient choice for your hygiene testing needs.
4. Versatility and Broader Application
FreshCheck's system has a unique advantage: it's not limited to a particular industry or sector. It's versatile and can be applied across the board. Whether you're in food manufacturing, processing, retailing, or even in other sectors requiring stringent hygiene standards, FreshCheck's swab system fits. It's designed to tackle a wide spectrum of sanitizers and detergents, reducing the risk of false positives when compared to traditional hygiene verification tools.
5. Digital Tools
Our online portal and easy-to-use app allow real-time reporting to track hygiene standards over time, facilitating improved decision-making and proactive management. The system is free-to-use and time-efficient, eliminating the need for expensive equipment. Additionally, FreshCheck offers customisable solutions to cater to specific needs and industry requirements, enabling users to create tailored cleaning plans. All these attributes make FreshCheck a flexible, efficient, and effective tool for maintaining optimal hygiene standards in various industries.
