One of the sectors where it is essential to ensure cleanliness and hygiene in the different manufacturing and
production processes is the food sector.
When working with food or future food products, it is necessary that workers have the appropriate work clothes to
avoid contamination of the product to be consumed. Hats and balaclavas for working with food are an essential part
of this clothing to comply with the various health and safety regulations.
Below, we are going to explain why caps in the food industry are a key element for hygiene, as well as show the best
caps for working in food handling.
Why buy food processing caps?
Food processing caps are mandatory in kitchens, delicatessens, pastry shops, butcheries and bakeries, as well as in
food production and processing factories.
Their purpose is to protect the products from any type of biological contamination, acting as a protective barrier
against microorganisms found in the hair.
For this reason, it is very important to use them properly. Head coverings should completely cover the hair and ears
to try to avoid any microbial contamination caused by hair loss.
In addition, for environments where high temperatures are involved, hats should be breathable and at the same time
prevent sweat from dripping onto food.
