Food safety & food defense

Food safety entails proper food storage, sanitization of tools and workspaces, and heating and cooling to adequate temperatures.

Food defense is the protection of food products from contamination or adulteration by biological, chemical, physical, or radiological agents. It also entails physical, personnel, and operational security.

IPS Food & Beverages engineers can support you in designing new lines or buildings—including equipment protective design, flow separation, access control, and protective infrastructures design—to mitigate risk. All safety and defense measures are integrated upstream to achieve uncompromising standards for hygiene. We can also assist our customers with their demanding IFS BRC ISO22000 certification procedures.
