Color-Coding for Better Food Safety

In the food production and processing industry, tightly controlled systems and procedures are essential for complying with regulations and ensuring food safety. A color-coding system for your work areas, tools, and equipment is a simple way to prevent cross-contamination and ensures you are better prepared to meet GFSI-approved food safety standards. When correctly implemented, color-coding should be easy to follow, and
encourages employees to take extra responsibility for food safety and cleanliness in their work area.
