There can be few fields of business where the issue of Quality Assurance comes quite so highly as in the Food Processing and Production Industry. The food that we consume is the fuel of life itself, and as we as a society become more developed, so our standards become ever higher, ever stricter. Failure to maintain these standards can result in sickness or worse, and a reputation that took years to develop can be damaged or destroyed in very little time.
At ORIGIN, Quality Assurance is at the very centre of our pest management ethos. Food processing and production plants can make for ideal pest harbourage areas, large areas and an abundance of food and raw materials, high traffic with incoming and outgoing shipments, all combine to present a challenge that few can meet but where ORIGIN excels.
By adopting and adapting Industry practices such as GMP and HACCP, we ensure that first and foremost we understand the business, before we meet its challenges.
Pests obviously pose a huge threat to a food companies reputation, but so to could a lesser pest management company, as it is not only the pests that could inadvertently contaminate or ruin your product. From Pheromone Lures to Ultra Violet Insect Light Traps with shatter proof light tubes, we ensure that we will be part of the solution, not potentially part of the problem. We leverage on the latest technologies to deliver chemical free solutions to sensitive areas, removing the threat of possible contamination whilst delivering effective, environmentally friendly services. Where chemicals must be used, we apply only high quality, low toxicity products.
Our computerized BugByte™ information management system allows us to monitor closely pest activity within a site, and gives our clients a level of service transparency unmatched in the industry, with direct access to a whole host of information and actions taken.
ORIGIN are dedicated to protecting food safety standards and our customers reputations: Is your current contractor? Perhaps food for thought.
