Wells and Miele partnership facilitates validated cleaning programs

It is a requirement (ISO/TS 22002-1) for all food processing facilities to have in place a documented cleaning and sanitising program. This program importantly also covers the cleaning of the cleaning equipment (sub clause 11.3).

Even though contaminated cleaning and food handling tools pose a great risk for cross-contamination and product rejection, food processing companies regularly struggle with implementing a simple and validated process for the cleaning of their cleaning tools.

To address this, Wells and Miele have developed a validated process for cleaning and decontaminating hygiene brushware and associated tools. Developed after extensive trials and validation with leading innovative Australian dairy company Bega Cheese, Wells launched the program at the recent foodpro expo in Sydney.

Miele has partnered exclusively with Wells as its strategic partner to supply its professional decontamination washing machines to the food processing sector in Australia and New Zealand.
