Professional disinfectants for the food industry and HoReCa

Disinfectants for the food sector

In food production, slaughterhouses, processing plants, professional kitchens and HoReCa businesses, maintaining an impeccable standard of hygiene is critical for preventing cross-contamination and ensuring consumer safety. Managing biological risks requires professional biocidal formulas able to remove organic residues and microorganisms from surfaces, equipment and utensils, while preserving material integrity and complying with food safety protocols.

On klintensiv.ro you will find disinfectant solutions developed specifically for the food chain, suitable for disinfection at every stage: from receiving raw materials and processing to transport and serving. Alongside surface biocides, protecting the food chain also requires strict disinfection of staff hands. For this purpose, the hydroalcoholic solution Klinsept A, based on 85% ethanol and formulated without fragrance or dyes, provides fast hand disinfection, preventing the mechanical transfer of pathogens onto food.

Biocidal activity spectrum and European standards

Any formula used in the food sector must be tested in accordance with European standards that certify its antimicrobial efficacy under specific organic load conditions.

For disinfecting surfaces, equipment and utensils (TP4): The formulas in the range are tested for bactericidal (EN 1276, EN 13697), yeasticidal or fungicidal (EN 1650, EN 13697), virucidal (EN 14476), mycobactericidal (EN 14348) or sporicidal (EN 13704).
For hand disinfection (TP1): To eliminate the risk of chemical contamination or of altering the organoleptic properties of food, products for staff disinfection must be formulated without fragrance or dyes. The standards specific to this sector include EN 1500 (hygienic handrub), EN 1499 (hygienic handwash, specific to disinfectant soaps), as well as the standards EN 1276 (bactericidal activity), EN 1650 (yeasticidal activity) and EN 14476 (virucidal activity).

Are PT4 disinfectants recommended for food-contact surfaces?

Klintensiv PT4 disinfectants are recommended for food-contact surfaces, as they are specifically approved for decontaminating equipment, containers, utensils and pipework that come into direct contact with food or drink. Using them according to the manufacturer's instructions ensures the necessary disinfection in food businesses.

Which food-sector surfaces can be disinfected with these products?

Klintensiv biocidal products for the food sector are formulated specifically for use in processing plants (meat, dairy, bakery), professional kitchens (HoReCa), storage units, canteens and food shops. They can be applied to industrial machinery, conveyor belts, food preparation tables, packaging and floors.

Do surfaces need rinsing after applying PT4 disinfectants?

Whether surfaces need rinsing after applying Klintensiv PT4 disinfectants depends strictly on the type of product chosen. Alcohol-based disinfectants evaporate completely without leaving residue, so work can resume as soon as the surface is dry, without rinsing; for disinfectant detergents, on the other hand, rinsing with drinking water is absolutely mandatory once the contact time has elapsed, to remove any trace of surfactant and prevent the risk of accidental chemical contamination. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions in the technical documentation.
