Sanitization

Food safety is a hot topic and has received a lot of attention. It affects nearly everyone who buys processed food or has a meal at a restaurant.  Many food borne illnesses can be attributed to poor sanitation practices in restaurants and food processing plants. Sanitation is critical component in the food safety process and is part of any Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan.

DeltaTRAK’s Waterproof Lollipop Min/Max Digital Thermometer and Dishwasher Kit are valuable tools in any HACCP plan. Use them to verify final hot water rinse cycle temperature in your automatic dishwasher. The thermometer will record the minimum and maximum temperature during the entire dishwashing cycle. The heat shield in the Dishwasher Kit protects the thermometer through multiple, consecutive dishwasher cycles.

Another HACCP tool is the TempDot High Temp Label. Use this small, self-stick label on a glass or on the rack in the dishwasher. If the temperature inside reaches 160°F (71°C) or higher, the label changes irreversibly from clear to red.
