FAQ – Food Industry Hygiene & Disinfection
Q1: Which disinfectants are suitable for HACCP-compliant food processing?
Terminal disinfectants (such as Amplex 500) that can be applied after routine cleaning and rinsed thoroughly are recommended for integration into HACCP-aligned programs in food, dairy, meat, and beverage processing facilities.
Q2: Can disinfectants be used during production or only during downtime?
Disinfection is intended for scheduled cleaning periods. Using disinfectants during active food production is not recommended to prevent contamination and ensure worker safety.

When diluted correctly and rinsed with safe, potable water, disinfectants do not leave residues that could interfere with production, inspections, or the quality of food and beverage products. This ensures compliance with Irish and EU food safety standards.
Q5: Are there regulatory considerations for food production facilities?
Disinfectants must comply with local Irish and EU food hygiene regulations, including export standards where applicable, when applied according to manufacturer guidelines.
