Hygiene is a top priority for the food and beverage industry. From the way food is handled to the temperature at which it is served, strict regulations are in place to ensure food is prepared and served safely. Flooring is an important part of the health and safety equation.

HACCP certified products in action
Fosroc's HACCP certified products have been applied in a range of food and beverage businesses:
- A Nitoflor PU600-200 system was used to provide a hardwearing, anti-microbial non-slip flooring solution for a pork processing plant.
- Nitoflor FC150 HP was used for a Turkish Bread factory where a fast turn around was a priority.
- Nitoflor FC150 HP was also used for a frozen goods bakery where it provided a durable, slip resistant surface. Available in a range of colour finishes, Nitoflor FC150 HP enabled visual demarcation of different areas of the plant. It also served to minimise down-time for the facility, as food manufacturing was able to continue throughout the application process.
