In the food industry, hygiene is an absolute requirement. Everyone who prepares, processes and sells food must meet strict hygiene requirements. All employees, active in this environment, must wear impeccable and certified hygiene clothing.
The legal requirements for professional clothing in the food sector are very complex. According to the provisions of the IFS Food (International Featured Standards), processes must ensure that employees' clothing is 100% hygienically clean and poses no risk of contamination to produced food. Producers who prefer to outsource the specific and time-consuming care required by these work clothes can turn to a professional textile service provider. MEWA delivers on a continuous basis, reliable, safe and functional workwear that meets all legal hygiene requirements. Certified hygiene and full service: these are the strengths of textile sharing for the food industry.
MEWA works according to the RABC (Risk Analysis and Biocontamination Control) system: a hygiene management and control system that subjects clothing to a special washing and care process. The process is conditioned to the quality standard EN 14065. This guarantees microbiological purity, maximum safety and the highest quality standard in textile hygiene. This hygiene clothing fits into any HACCP concept and contributes to hygienic safety within the food industry.
"A high level of hygiene is inherent in our work process," emphasizes Ir. Danny Vermeir, responsible for environmental and process technology at MEWA Servibel. "Food producers who rent hygiene clothing from us are provided with a smart full-service textile management system. We reliably bring, pick up, handle and replace the clothing. In addition to a disinfecting washing process in professional washing facilities and post-treatment of the laundry, we also provide documented and validated processing. We take care of the process from A to Z: from washing to delivery to the clothes locker. The clothing is personalized, everyone on the team gets their own outfit that is returned to the right person after washing. A bar code ensures this entire process. If desired, employees' names can be embroidered or sewn onto the clothing. In addition, we offer numerous other products that comply with hygiene regulations; for use in sanitary blocks and other business areas. With our Textilesharing concept, customers can concentrate fully on their core business."
