What does dirty mean to you?
‘Dirty’ is a buzzword nowadays when you talk to different people about trailer sanitation. Scientific evidence shows that there are pathogen risks in food transportation. But depending on who you are talking to, where they work (shipper, trucking company, buyer), and what they do at work, their view of what ‘dirty’ is regarding trailers varies.
Different Definitions For Dirty
Dirty may mean ‘light debris’ to one person, but to another, it means only if there is blood, meat, or a noticeable spill. Many trucking companies view ‘dirty’ as something that only happens in fresh or frozen food transportation, not dry cargo. Are they wrong?
The Dangers of Ambiguous Definitions & Standards For Trailers
The trouble is if everyone has a different definition of 'dirty,' then it leaves a lot of room for bacteria, chemical contamination, and more. It's a recipe for contaminated food. Putting consumers at a greater risk.
Setting The Standard For Food Safety
Families and our neighbors are counting on us to get the word 'dirty' right. The more accurate and scientific we can get about what is clean versus dirty for a trailer, the safer the food on their plate is. Because as we all know, the dirt doesn't always have to be visible (think of all of the pathogens and bacteria that are out there) for a trailer to be dirty.
