Essential Laundry and Hygiene Solutions for Food Preparation Businesses: Protecting Standards with Maxwell Adam

Poor hygiene practices can lead to contamination, foodborne illness, reputational damage, and even closure. That’s why businesses across the UK food industry trust Maxwell Adam to deliver dependable, high-performance laundry and hygiene solutions that support safe, efficient operations.

Why Hygiene Matters in Food Preparation

Food businesses are under constant scrutiny. With increasing pressure from environmental health officers, local authorities, and customer expectations, it’s crucial to maintain consistently high hygiene standards across every element of your operation—including your laundry.

Whether it’s chef whites, aprons, oven gloves, microfibre cloths, tea towels, or reusable cleaning items, these items can easily carry bacteria and cross-contaminate surfaces or food. Having the right laundry process in place is not just best practice—it’s often essential for compliance with food safety regulations, such as those laid out by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) guidelines.
