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.
