The hygienic and sanitary quality of the food industry must guarantee that the consumer doesn’t contract infections, food poisoning or bacterial intoxication.

The most common foodborne illnesses are caused by Salmonella, E. Coli and Listeria bacteria, among others.

Contamination can occur at any point in the chain: in the company, during processing or preparation. It can also occur at home if food is handled or cooked incorrectly or with improper use of contaminated utensils and kitchen surfaces that can thus contribute to the spread of bacteria.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) report that more than 320,000 cases of people contracting food-borne zoonotic diseases are reported each year in Europe alone.

From SCUDO research comes TasteSeal, a range of elastomers with the power to kill 99.9% of Salmonella, E. Coli and Listeria bacteria and viruses such as Avian Influenza that cause cross-contamination and have a strong impact on public health.

Thanks to their unique and patented formula, TasteSeal products allow you to make utensils, egg containers, foods and components for industrial and domestic equipment that are safer against viruses and bacteria that cause food-borne illnesses.
