Biocide products include a diverse range, including disinfectants, preservatives, and pest control agents, crucial for public health and hygiene. Understanding their classifications and applications is vital to ensure effective usage while minimizing unintended harm to ecosystems. These products play an indispensable role in contemporary living, safeguarding health and preserving goods.
ORAPI has recently been awarded the prestigious Gold EcoVadis sustainability rating, a major achievement in our commitment to environmental consciousness and responsible corporate conduct.
What Is ECOCERT? ECOCERT is a France-based certification body that provides certification for organic and environmentally friendly products. Established in 1991, ECOCERT specialises in inspecting and certifying organic and natural products according to various standards, including organic farming, organic cosmetics, fair trade, and sustainable agricultural and food industry practices. The organisation has developed stringent criteria and guidelines that products must meet to receive their certification. These criteria often involve using natural ingredients, limitations on synthetic chemicals, environmentally friendly production
This comprehensive overview delves into the intricate realm of reading concentration ratio, presenting a clear understanding of weight/weight (w/w) and weight/volume (w/v) units. By offering an analogy that juxtaposes the additive nature of mass with the nuanced behavior of liquids, it illuminates how combining equal volumes of liquids may yield unexpected results due to density disparities. The discourse delves into concentration units—percentages, parts per million (ppm), and parts per billion (ppb)—their conversions, and the pragmatic selection of the appropriate unit
Food is subject to extensive regulation, with specific guidelines for various stages of its production and distribution. In the European Union, for instance, there are stringent standards outlined in Annex I of EU law No. 852/2004, which focuses on the hygiene of food products. This regulation emphasises the importance of maintaining clean conditions for animals prior to slaughter, aiming to prevent the risk of cross-contamination. When it comes to food preparation, whether at home or in commercial establishments, there are established
The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is vital in ensuring food safety management systems. It endorses auditing platforms that meet its gold standard for food safety audits, instilling customer confidence and attracting new ones. GFSI evaluates suppliers based on disclosure, operational compliance, and traceability to ensure consistent, safe food production. Accreditation, capability building, and benchmarking contribute to improved industry practices and market accessibility. GFSI’s efforts benefit stakeholders by upholding the highest standards in food safety, product integrity, and cost efficiency.
In our quest for convenience and efficiency, we often overlook the potential dangers hidden in the products we use every day. Two such hazards, MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons) and MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) have recently emerged as concerning substances that demand our attention. Found in a wide range of common items, from food packaging to cosmetics, MOSH and MOAH have been linked to long-term organ toxicity, carcinogenic properties, and tissue accumulation, making it vital for individuals to be
Cleaning products containing Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QACs) has become increasingly prevalent, particularly in healthcare facilities, food processing, food service establishments, daycare facilities, and schools. QACs are highly effective in eliminating many pathogens, making them a popular choice for disinfection and cleaning. However, there has been growing concern about these compounds’ potential health impacts. This article explores the use of QACs in cleaning and disinfection, their effectiveness in eradicating pathogens, their potential risks, and their far-exceeding advantages.

In the food industry, it is crucial to ensure that products meet certain safety standards to protect consumers from potential health risks. NSF International, a public health and safety organisation, offers certification services to help companies comply with these standards. However, being NSF certified does not necessarily mean a product is completely safe for consumption. In this article, we will explore the different NSF categories and their importance in ensuring food safety. We will also discuss why NSF certification alone
What is the difference between gram-positive and gram-negative in bacteria? Bacteria are a diverse group of microorganisms that play an essential role in our environment and health. Among the many different types of bacteria, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are two of the most important and well-studied groups. These terms refer to the way that bacteria respond to a laboratory staining technique known as the Gram stain, which was developed in the late 1800s by Danish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram.
