In the food industry, cleanliness and disinfection are crucial. Maintaining a clean environment in these areas helps prevent transfer of ingredients and other food products, decrease contamination, and increase safety. Along with thorough sanitation and hygiene practices, wearing protective equipment such as hairnets, gloves, and shoe covers can make a huge difference in cutting down on contamination. Today, we’re talking about why shoe covers are a critical asset to keeping processing plants, restaurants, cafeterias, and other businesses in the food industry clean. Here are just a few reasons why BootieButler shoe bootie covers are essential for cleanliness in the food processing and foodservice industries:
- They Decrease Contamination
In the food industry, tracking outside contaminants into clean environments on the bottom of shoes is a hazard. Shoe booties are sterile, so you can be sure you are not introducing any contaminants from your shoes into clean environments.
- They’re Safer
Spills are a significant safety hazard in the food industry, and unfortunately, they happen all too often. Some shoe bootie covers include anti-skid or anti-slip patterns on the soles, helping to decrease slipping incidents and promote safety as a result.
- Nothing Gets Left Behind
Just as it is important to not introduce any outside contaminants into the food environment, it’s equally crucial to ensure nothing gets left behind. Fortunately, BootieButler shoe covers are designed in such a way that the clips do not dislodge during application, wear, or removal.
Which shoe bootie should you choose?
If you work with food, you know the importance of adhering to strict standards when it comes to hygiene and sanitation. With disposable shoe booties, environments are not only cleaner, but safer as well. When choosing a shoe bootie for this industry, you’ll want something that is waterproof and non skid. Typically, most companies in the food industry choose our KBSB600 SuperBootie, a 100% waterproof, highly durable bootie with non skid fabric.
