Introduction: Water is one of the most essential ingredients in food production, but many overlook its critical role in maintaining food safety. Whether it’s used for cleaning equipment, food preparation, or processing, water quality directly impacts the safety of your products. Poor water quality can lead to harmful contamination, affecting both the taste and safety of the food your customers consume.
Body: Spoilage bacteria present in water, such as E. coli and Coliforms can easily contaminate food during processing if the water used isn’t properly tested. The issue is not just confined to the raw ingredients; water can spread harmful bacteria through contamination in cleaning systems, surfaces, and even during transportation. Additionally, unclean water can alter the flavor, texture, and overall quality of food, leading to customer dissatisfaction and potentially legal or regulatory issues.
