Bacteria, such as E. coli O157, are invisible to the naked eye, so they can easily spread to food without you realising. These bacteria can hide on utensils, cutlery and crockery even after they've been washed. Heat is one of the best ways of killing harmful bacteria, but the temperature and contact time must be sufficient to destroy them. Using a dishwasher is a great way to reach a high enough temperature for long enough to kill E. coli and other bacteria. Controlling the spread of E. coli is so important that the Food Standards Agency have recently released new guidance for food preparation environments like yours. They are demanding that your dishwasher water reservoirs are kept above 80 Degrees C - the critical temperature to kill the bacteria. Could you prove that your dishwasher is reaching this critical temperature? Could you prove that its holding this temperature for long enough to kill E. coli? What might the consequences be to your reputation if you couldn't? Fortunately there's a simple answer to these problems. Your Monika system can take the worry away by monitoring the rinse and wash cycles automatically. You'll get an alert if the water isn't hot enough, helping you make an adjustment without compromising food safety. With dishwasher monitoring, your Monika system will permanently record the temperature and cycle time - your proof that you're meeting food safety due diligence requirements and demonstrate that you take food safety and the safety of you customers seriously.
