Total Elimination of Listeria SP from High Care Environment in Leading RTE Poultry Processing Plant

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

Customer ROI 750 Sqm High Care
Coating cost: $75,000 (Labor +Material )
Bio-fence technology added cost: 20$ per sqm=$ 15,000
Total coating cost = $90,000 | 5 years lifetime
