Food Standards Agency estimates

A report from the Food Standards Agency estimates that as many as 6% of the UK adult population have a food allergy – that’s around 2.4 million people. Colour-coding is a cost-effective and straightforward way to prevent cross-contamination in food preparation and protect again potentially dangerous issues related to food hypersensitivity.

It’s easy to implement too, especially with help from Mailbox. We’re known for the bright colours we bring to materials handling with our wide range of standard and bespoke colour options. This makes us your ideal colour-coding partner – choose from boxes, pallets, tabletop bins, hand tools and much more.

About colour-coding:

Colour-coding separates the tools used in one type of task or location from each other. This can be useful across the sectors, but in the food preparation industry it’s particularly important as it helps prevent cross-contamination due to pathogens, allergens and foreign contaminates, improving customer safety.

There are other benefits too. Colour-coding also makes things run more smoothly  operatives immediately know where to look for or store a particular item or ingredient, saving valuable time and generally improving the working environment.
