Listeria Control and Prevention within Food Factories

Listeria is a huge concern within the food manufacturing industry, because it is notoriously tricky to eradicate in any food factory environment. Listeria is often found on floors, drains, production line equipment and even on the end food product!

Fortunately, Purehold has four innovative Listeria treatment solutions - all are proven to kill Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) and are now successfully used by leading UK manufacturers across various food sectors, from fresh produce to ready to eat meals as additional Listeria control and prevention measures to minimise the risk of any Listeria outbreak in the factory.

If you are getting positive swabs results for Listeria, now is the time to consider trialing one or more of our Listeria treatment solutions!

FOR USE ON EQUIPTMENT,
DRAINS & FLOORS

Listeria Disinfection Solution is a non-hazardous and food-safe, ready to use solution, for use in high and low care food factory environments to specifically combat Listeria on surfaces and equipment.

Listeria Disinfection Solution is proven to kill Listeria monocytogenes in
under 30 seconds and in dirty conditions!

And, when coupled with our PureFOG ULV Handheld Foggers,
Listeria has nowhere to hide!

BIOFILM DETECTION & REMOVAL

By conducting a Biofilm audit at your factory using our BioTector product, we can visually see and identify biofilms in your facility. Once identified, we then use our Enzymatic detergent to successfully remove them and ensure they don’t return. Enzymes detergents are catalysts capable of breaking the biofilm polysaccharide matrix. This matrix is the cover that protects the biofilms from conventional detergents and disinfectants. Once the matrix is broken, the bacteria inside it are unprotected and can be destroyed by the action of a disinfectant.

FOR USE DIRECTLY ON
THE FINAL PRODUCT

PhageGuard Listex solution is a 100% organic, food processing aid that can be applied directly to fresh produce (ie. onions, lettuce leaves, broccoli, peppers, etc) and ready to eat products (ie. meats, cheese, rice, pasta etc) as a safe, green solution to kill Listeria that is on the product, without impacting the quality of the product.

Listex has no effect on taste, colour, or smell and as a processing aid, it does not require labelling. It is also harmless to everything but Listeria, so can be used continuously during production without any H&S concerns.

Listex is proven to kill Listeria monocytogenes and achieve a
1-3 log reduction on food.

HEAVY DUTY LISTERIA DISINFECTANT WIPES

Our new, HEAVY DUTY LISTERIA DISINFECTANT WIPES (powered by Biochem) won’t rip or tear and are highly effective at killing Listeria due to the non-tainting cleaning and disinfectant agent used.
