colour-coded

Posted: September 04, 2023
Blue is associated as the food industry colour, as it contrasts the majority of ingredients.
This, of course allows visual detection in the unlikely case of it falling into production. However, the use of coloured PPE has increased within the industry to manage contamination and hygiene risks, with no change to PPE quality or cost.
So, why not just use blue?
Reputational damage from a cross-contamination event is just not an option, not to mention the cost of this on your business. While blue allows for easier foreign object traceability, it doesn’t safe-guard from the possibility of mis-handling product, for example allergens.
This is where colour coded PPE comes in.
