FOOD HYGIENE
The contaminated roll will then either be used – which could lead to a hygiene infringement – or thrown away, which will have an adverse effect on product costs. If the roll were to be housed in a dispenser, on the other hand, both consumption and cost in use would be reduced.
The Tork Reflex Single Sheet Centrefeed system works well for kitchen wiping. This food-contact approved paper product is available in blue – a colour often preferred in food environments – as well as white. The single-sheet dispensing operation helps to reduce consumption which ensures that the paper supply is unlikely to run out during busy service periods. The unit is also fully enclosed to protect the roll inside from dirt and damp in the atmosphere.
Tork Reflex comes in a wall-mounted dispenser that protects the product before use and allows catering staff to access a length of paper whenever they want it. However, it is also available in a freestanding dispenser for those who prefer a portable solution.
In a busy food preparation area it sometimes makes sense to use the same product for wiping the hands as for mopping up spills. However, such a product needs to be appropriate for both tasks – otherwise it will be too abrasive on the hands or ineffective on surfaces.
The high-capacity Tork Matic Blue Hand Towel Roll is designed to be used both for hand wiping and surface wiping. It consists of one-ply tissue and a one-ply layer of softer, structured tissue material which is kind to frequently-washed hands. The tissue layer, meanwhile, is highly suitable for use on kitchen surfaces.
The Tork Matic Blue Hand Towel Roll is also available in a touch- free Intuition sensor dispenser for enhanced hygiene.
Frequent hand washing should be carried out in any catering business which means that a sufficient number of sinks and plentiful hand hygiene supplies should be provided. User- friendly soaps such as Tork Extra Mild Foam Soap or Tork Extra Mild Liquid Soap will help to protect

frequently-washed hands from chapping and soreness.
And to help prevent cross- contamination – while creating a further impression of enhanced hygiene – Tork Extra Mild Foam Soap can also be supplied in a touch-free Intuition sensor dispenser, while Tork Extra Mild Liquid Soap comes in a dispenser with an optional arm lever.
Soft disposable towels such as the Tork Soft Singlefold Hand Towel will effectively dry the hands quickly and efficiently, so such towels should be available in plentiful supply.
Disposable products work well in any food environment because they are thrown away before they can pose any risk of cross-contamination. Where a longer-lasting product is preferred, however, colour-coded cloths offer an ideal compromise between hygiene, sustainability and the need to keep down costs.
Colour-coded cloths make it clear to staff that different products should be used for specific tasks. This will ensure, for instance, that raw meats are not prepared where cooked meats have been handled, and that areas where nuts and other allergens have been processed will only be wiped down with cloths of one colour. Products such as Tork Coloured Long Lasting Cleaning Cloths can be used repeatedly but the fact that they come in a range of distinctive colours means they will not lead to cross- contamination in the kitchen.
On paper it may seem almost impossible to balance the three important elements of hygiene, sustainability and low cost. But in fact reducing waste – a key sustainability goal – will always lead to lower costs. Smart dispensers, meanwhile, will control consumption while also enhancing hygiene. So a good dispensing system is crucial for any hospitality business wishing to be sustainable, hygienic and profitable.
