Skin care and hygiene management solutions
for food processing
What if we could work together
to improve food safety while focusing on the SKIN CARE of your employees?
More than 600 million people fall ill and 420 000 die every year globally after eating contaminated food.
A study by Food Standards Australia New Zealand and the Australian National University in 2022 estimated there are 4.67 million cases of food poisoning in Australia each year that result in 47,900 hospitalisations, 38 deaths and a cost to the economy of $2.1 billion.1
Employees' hand hygiene is key to reducing the risk of cross-contamination in every step of the chain from production to plate.
This means keeping a high standard of cleanliness and enforcing it strictly. Cross-contamination and skin dermatitis outbreaks can disrupt production: brands & companies can suffer serious, irreversible reputational damage that comes with its own costs.
To address these specific needs, SC Johnson Professional® has developed an expertise in the implementation of tailored skin care solutions that also support food safety.
