Why this antibacterial wipe earns its place
Sized specifically for food probes rather than general surfaces, this starter tub gives food safety teams a quick way to sanitise a probe between uses and cut the risk of cross-contamination during prep and service.
The wipes kill bacteria and viruses within one minute of contact (EN1276, 1 minute; EN14476, 2 minutes) and leave a 24-hour residual effect on the treated surface. They're dermatologically tested to an Excellent standard, so no PPE is required — staff can wipe a probe and get straight back to work.
The quat-free, non-toxic formula avoids irritation from repeated hand contact through a shift. The tub is made from 30% recycled HDPE and fully recyclable, the refill pouch is recyclable alongside carrier-bag waste streams, and the used wipes currently go to general waste.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
