Hygiene technology in bakeries

28 September 2023

Cleanliness and quality are the cornerstones of any successful bakery. One key to this: the right hygiene technology. In bakeries, devices such as non-contact hand cleaning basins, access barriers or foam cleaning systems for floors and surfaces ensure that baked goods not only taste delicious, but also meet the highest hygienic standards. After all, perfect hygiene is in the interests of both the customers and the bakeries themselves. On the one hand, there is hardly an area that is regulated as comprehensively by law as the production of food. The EU Regulation (EG) No. 852/2004 on food hygiene has been in force since 2006, which includes a HACCP concept prescribes. On the other hand, lack of hygiene can mean the end of a bakery. Hygiene technology supports bakeries in the two basic areas of hygiene: personal hygiene and industrial hygiene.

Personnel hygiene in the bakery

Humans are known to be the greatest hygiene risk. Therefore, in the HACCP concept and in the legislation, special attention is paid to the staff. Examples are the Infection Protection Act (IfSG), § 42 and the food hygiene training courses according to § 4 LMHV. These apply to all people who come into contact with food.
