Sanitation
Cross-contamination is a serious and life-threatening concern. At some point in our lives, we’ll know someone or have experienced the effects of food-borne illnesses. Every year 1 in 8 Canadians are affected, but this can be easily prevented with the right tools and education.
Some of the main culprits of food contamination are thermometers. Often thermometers are placed in raw meat products and only wiped clean with a damp cloth or paper towel. Did you know that this method will not remove harmful bacteria from the probe? Bios sells antibacterial probe wipes, all Individually wrapped, to easily remove bacteria and reduce the chance of cross-contamination.
Food Safety
Food safety and sanitation often go hand in hand. Safe internal cooking temperatures could mean the difference between life or death. Chefs must be checking the temperature of all meat, poultry and seafood products, this will ensure food-borne illnesses do not happen. Every chef or at least every kitchen should have a thermometer on hand. Bios sells a variety of thermometers for all facets of foodservice and cooking applications.
