Byotrol promotes holistic hygiene at food hygiene seminar

23^rd Mar 2008

Byotrol, the antimicrobial technology company which has recently had its Byosan product approved by Marks and Spencer as an Approved Terminal Disinfectant for use within M&S's food manufacture supply chain is set to promote its holistic approach to food industry hygiene at a seminar on March 12.

The Seminar, organised by the Society of Food Hygiene and Technology is being held at the Hilton Hotel in Bracknell and will see Byotrol promote its Nanosphere range of products for use in food service and food processing environments.

The Byotrol technology offers a number of key benefits over existing disinfectant technology including residual efficacy which means surfaces to which Byotrol is applied continue to have antimicrobial properties several days after application.

The residual action can help food processing plants improve hygiene levels and save money in energy and water costs associated with the application and use of conventional disinfectants.

Another key benefit of the Nanosphere range is the fact that it has an extremely low toxicity profile compared to other disinfectants used in the food service industry. The technology is non corrosive and does not contain alcohol which makes it ideal for use in personal hygiene applications for workers in the food industry.

It is this combination of attributes than makes Nanosphere ideal for use as an holistic approach right across food processing environments and the company will be showcasing a range of products including personal hygiene hand mousses, as well as hard surface cleaners and room fogging systems. This means Byotrol can be used across a plant thus ensuring consistent microbial control. The other key attribute of the technology is the fact that it works against resistant strains of bacteria as well as moulds and spores thus reducing the need to rotate disinfectants to combat resistance.

Commenting on the technology Byotrol Sales Manager Gary Hilton says "We now have approval for use of our technology from one of the UK's leading food retailers in the shape of Marks & Spencer and we are clear that Byotrol can deliver real and tangible benefits to those in the food processing and service industries.

"Importantly our holistic approach can save time and money as well as improving hygiene levels," Gary Hilton adds.
