Halton kitchen ventilation solutions are HACCP certified

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system’s aim is to manage risks in
food service organisations and to prepare safe food. Kitchen ventilation has an important effect on food safety. Halton kitchen ventilation solutions were awarded with the HACCP Certificate as a sign of food-safe equipment meeting requirements of HACCP certification program.   

Kitchen ventilation solutions have a direct effect on food safety in commercial kitchens. Managing exhaust air flows is vital as massive negative pressure in a food processing area would expose food to a large amount of contaminants. Reducing negative pressure while maintaining extraction efficiency is thus important for food safety. In addition, controlling the temperature is critical for food safety and always important for staff comfort.

Kitchen ventilation equipment can also be a major source of bacterial infection. Sanitation and cleaning of the system is thus important. Use of UV and automatic cleaning systems help to keep the level of hygiene high. Furthermore, filter efficiency and extraction systems design reduce the risk for bacterial cross contamination.

Halton’s kitchen ventilation solutions are designed to create excellent indoor climate conditions for commercial kitchens while maintaining the highest level of hygiene and energy efficiency. As a sign of this Halton was awarded the HACCP Certificate.
