One day Cleaning & Hygiene Training at Damak, Jhapa, Province No.1 for Food & Dairy Industries organized by Belz Instruments Nepal Pvt. Ltd.
The main purpose of this training was to raise awareness among the food producers about the importance of cleanliness and hygiene (C&H) to uplift the overall quality of food products.
Three main components were focused: Clean in place (CIP), Open plant cleaning (OPC) and personnel hygiene. Discussions were made up on:
- Importance of C&H on milk production areas and the consequences due to the lack of proper C&H on both dairy animals and consumer’s health.
- Introduction to CIP, OPC and personnel hygiene on food processing and handling areas.
- Introducing effective methods and equipment to maintain C&H in food and dairy industries which aids in upliftment of overall food quality and food safety as well as enhancement of effectiveness and efficiency of cleaning process.
The local government also supported the event by showing participation. Various problems regarding C&H in different industries were presented by the participants and our solutions to those were discussed collectively.
Overall, the event was a success based on active participation of the participants which motivated us on organizing such trainings in the near future.
