Tiv Tirat Zvi
Tiv Tirat Zvi is a leading Israeli RTE meat producer supplying premium high-quality products alongside an uncompromising food safety policy
The site decided to adopt Bio-fence antimicrobial coating technology to enhance hygiene conditions in the production departments
After 14 months of usage, it is evident that Bio-fence antimicrobial coating technology can help ensure ultra-hygienic conditions in a cost effective manner.
The site has decided to implement Bio-fence technology in additional departments.
Haysa Shai , the site QA manager says :
Using Bio-fence coating technology introduces better environmental hygiene and provides “Peace of mind ” regarding pathogens’ presence on floors and drainage systems in High care departments
Hot-dog production is challenging due to conditions that allow the proliferation of dangerous bacteria such as Listeria or Salmonella, which in turn lead to the obvious danger of product cross contamination.
An environment free of dangerous bacteria is essential for Food safety.
A leading Israeli RTE meat producer with high-quality products and an uncompromising food safety policy suffered from continuous positive Listeria presence on floors and drainage system in the High Care departments, although strict sanitation was performed up to 3 times per day up to 11 hours.
Before
Coating with Bio-Fence technology
Floor sampled twice a day showing 91% listeria presence Enterobacteria >106 T.C >106
After
Coating with Bio-Fence technology
Immediate improvement 0% Listeria presence Enterobacteria >101 T.C >101
Results and operational savings
1. Floor sampling – moving from 2 a day to 2 a month (95% reduction)
2. Floor sampling – reduction from an average of 45-91% positive listeria readings to 0.5%
3. 5 log reduction in EB and TC – Improve total hygiene
4. Sanitation – 40% Reduction in time, labor and chemicals
5. 75% reduction in water, energy and effluent
