FOOD HYGIENE
for mopping up spills, and a wet wipe supplied in a compact bucket format.
Tork Reflex Portable Single Sheet Centrefeed is food contact-approved and comes in a freestanding dispenser with its own docking station. The wipers are extracted from the dispenser one at a time to naturally reduce consumption and limit the amount of waste generated.
use a hand sanitiser to kill off any remaining harmful bacteria on the hands. Tork Alcohol Gel Hand Sanitiser is a good option since it will disinfect the hands quickly to a safe level in waterless environments.
Food vendors need to continually clean their serving space and wipe up any spills that occur. But where there is no water supply, dishcloths are an unsuitable option since there will be nowhere to rinse them out.
Disposable products are a good solution but the downside is that most food stalls have limited waste disposal options which means that refuse needs to be kept down to a minimum.
Tork offers two products that help to address these problems: a dry wipe in a centrefeed dispenser that can be used

When food surfaces need to be cleaned or sanitised instead of simply wiped down, the Tork Low Lint Handy Bucket is a good solution. The cloths are supplied dry but the vendor can add any food contact-approved detergent or sanitising agent of their choice. The moistened cloths can then be used for cleaning surfaces and utensils where no water supply is available.
The bucket is small and portable and the cloths are again dispensed one at a time to reduce over-consumption and limit waste. And the fact that each bucket holds 250 cloths means the supply is unlikely to run out during busy mealtimes.
Besides ensuring public safety, the Licensing Act 2003 requires food businesses to prevent crime and disorder; protect children from harm and prevent public nuisance.
Excess waste and litter generated by street stalls can constitute a public nuisance and this can occur, for example, where napkins are lying loose on the service counter.
Although napkins are not a cleaning aid, they can help to enhance hygiene levels on a food stall. A napkin wrapped around a burger or a hot dog will help prevent the vendor or customer from contaminating the food with their hands before it is eventually eaten. So it makes sense for vendors to provide napkins in a system that has been designed to prevent waste and littering.
Tork offers two such systems – The Tork Xpressnap Tabletop Dispenser and the smaller Snack version both give out napkins one at a time to help prevent excess waste and litter. Single- dispensing also means that each customer touches only the napkin they use which again helps to prevent cross-contamination. The dispenser also protects the napkins and prevents them from blowing away in the wind and littering the market area.
It can be a major challenge for street food vendors to keep their hands and preparation surfaces clean while preparing dishes on what is effectively a market stall. But this can be achieved with the aid of compact dispensers, waterless wiping systems and hand sanitisers – all of which can be highly effective and convenient options in a makeshift retail environment.
