Sanitation Strategies Launches Online Resource for Food Safety Professionals
SanitationTools.com, designed as an online resource for food safety professionals looking for the latest available food sanitation equipment and food safety related products. Sanitation Strategies, LLC (sanitatioinstrategies.com) has emerged as a leading hygienic solutions provider to the life science and food processing marketplace.
OKEMOS, MI (PRWEB) March 23, 2005 -- The necessity for food processors to
apply all available resources to their food safety effort is here to stay. Food
safety professionals must cope with an ever-changing playing field in their
quest to produce safe food for consumers. To accomplish this daunting challenge,
food processing companies require cutting edge technology that reduces microbial
contamination, increases shelf life, and ensures the safety of the consumer.
Sanitation Strategies, LLC, an Okemos, MI, based hygienic solutions company, has
launched their new e-commerce web site SanitationTools.com, designed as an
online resource for food safety professionals looking for the latest available
food sanitation equipment and food safety related products.
SanitationTools.com will be introduced to the world of food safety at
this weeks FOOD SAFETY SUMMIT in Washington DC. SanitationTools.com offers a
broad line of sanitation products and equipment such as foamers, foggers,
chemical dispensers, sanitizer sprayers, sanitation training videos, food
contact sanitizing wipes, and many others. For more information please visit: http://www.sanitationtools.com
"Traditionally, food
sanitation equipment and related food safety products have only been available
through the food processor's sanitation chemical supplier. The challenge for the
food processor is that they don't always get exposure to the latest food safety
and sanitation equipment technology. In some cases, the chemical supplier
themselves are not aware of new and more effective ways of cleaning and
sanitizing the food processing environment. SanitationTools.com provides an
excellent resource for the food safety professional in their search to find the
best hygienic solutions for their particular processing environment," said
Sherman L. McDonald, President of Sanitation Strategies, LLC.
McDonald
continued, "SanitationTools.com was conceived with the goal of bringing together
the broadest online selection of food sanitation equipment available. We have
also brought together related equipment to the sanitation process that helps
address the safety of sanitation employees while they clean. Eye wash stations,
safety showers, right-to-know stations, and lockout kits are available to help
provide a safer work environment for the food sanitation employee. We like to
think we help address not only food safety but also employee safety. In
addition, SanitationTools.com is an excellent cost reduction vehicle for food
processors. The vast majority of food processing companies use sanitation
equipment provided on a loaned basis from their chemical supplier.
The
food processor does not see the sanitation equipment they use as a capital
expenditure under the loaned program, however, they are paying for the equipment
they use in the price of the chemicals they purchase. The catch for the food
processor is that they are often paying for their sanitation equipment many
times over. The standard practice is for the chemical supplier to calculate the
cost of the loaned equipment they are supplying the food processor and to add a
surcharge to the price per gallon to cover the cost of the loaned equipment.
In most cases, the loaned equipment is paid for in the per gallon cost
within 12 – 18 months, after which, the chemical vendor typically keeps the
surcharge in place. I have seen some cases where the food processor actually has
paid for their loaned equipment five to ten times over because the surcharge
remains in place long after the equipment was paid for. Food processors can
often reduce their overall sanitation costs by owning their sanitation equipment
and negotiating a lower price per gallon for the sanitation chemicals from their
chemical vendor."
