Color-coded tools in the food industry provide visual guidelines for maintaining hygiene and minimizing the risks of foodborne illness and cross-contamination during food processing. There are a variety of different methods for color coding cleaning plans.
Using color-coded tools to separate processes, zones, shifts, or allergens in food production areas minimizes the chance of cross-contamination. As a best practice, tools used in a food processing area should be color-coded based on a risk-based cleaning and sanitation plan.
