Where to Use Hygienic vs Washdown for Better Food Safety

by Kyle Scott

In the food and beverage industry, food safety is a top priority. Keeping a sanitary environment at all stages of the food packaging process is vital for the safety of customers and the bottom line of the business.

Investing in food safety as a business could save millions of dollars in legal damages in the long run.
