SanitationTools.com, designed as an online resource for food safety professionals looking for the latest available food sanitation equipment and food safety related products. Sanitation Strategies, LLC (sanitatioinstrategies.com) has emerged as a leading hygienic solutions provider to the life science and food processing marketplace.
OKEMOS, MI (PRWEB) March 23, 2005 -- The necessity for food processors to apply all available resources to their food safety effort is here to stay. Food safety professionals must cope with an ever-changing playing field in their quest to produce safe food for consumers. To accomplish this daunting challenge, food processing companies require cutting edge technology that reduces microbial contamination, increases shelf life, and ensures the safety of the consumer. Sanitation Strategies, LLC, an Okemos, MI, based hygienic solutions company, has launched their new e-commerce web site SanitationTools.com, designed as an online resource for food safety professionals looking for the latest available food sanitation equipment and food safety related products.
SanitationTools.com will be introduced to the world of food safety at this weeks FOOD SAFETY SUMMIT in Washington DC. SanitationTools.com offers a broad line of sanitation products and equipment such as foamers, foggers, chemical dispensers, sanitizer sprayers, sanitation training videos, food contact sanitizing wipes, and many others.

"Traditionally, food sanitation equipment and related food safety products have only been available through the food processor's sanitation chemical supplier. The challenge for the food processor is that they don't always get exposure to the latest food safety and sanitation equipment technology. In some cases, the chemical supplier themselves are not aware of new and more effective ways of cleaning and sanitizing the food processing environment. SanitationTools.com provides an excellent resource for the food safety professional in their search to find the best hygienic solutions for their particular processing environment," said Sherman L. McDonald, President of Sanitation Strategies, LLC.
McDonald continued, "SanitationTools.com was conceived with the goal of bringing together the broadest online selection of food sanitation equipment available. We have also brought together related equipment to the sanitation process that helps address the safety of sanitation employees while they clean. Eye wash stations, safety showers, right-to-know stations, and lockout kits are available to help provide a safer work environment for the food sanitation employee. We like to think we help address not only food safety but also employee safety. In addition, SanitationTools.com is an excellent cost reduction vehicle for food processors. The vast majority of food processing companies use sanitation equipment provided on a loaned basis from their chemical supplier.
The food processor does not see the sanitation equipment they use as a capital expenditure under the loaned program, however, they are paying for the equipment they use in the price of the chemicals they purchase. The catch for the food processor is that they are often paying for their sanitation equipment many times over. The standard practice is for the chemical supplier to calculate the cost of the loaned equipment they are supplying the food processor and to add a surcharge to the price per gallon to cover the cost of the loaned equipment.
In most cases, the loaned equipment is paid for in the per gallon cost within 12 – 18 months, after which, the chemical vendor typically keeps the surcharge in place. I have seen some cases where the food processor actually has paid for their loaned equipment five to ten times over because the surcharge remains in place long after the equipment was paid for. Food processors can often reduce their overall sanitation costs by owning their sanitation equipment and negotiating a lower price per gallon for the sanitation chemicals from their chemical vendor."
