Cross contamination is a serious challenge for food processing facilities that manufacture both allergen-free and gluten-free products and those for general consumption. Everything in the facility — from processing equipment to the air that can contain dust from food particles — must be free from contaminants to ensure the safety of these food products.
Installing a high-efficiency dust collection system is a proven engineering control to prevent airborne food particles from settling on surfaces and equipment. These highly engineered systems filter dust-borne allergens and significantly reduce the risk of cross contamination.
