Foodborne Illnesses

Sanitization Down to a Science

Protect your reputation and bottom line by stopping germs where they start.

While you probably are familiar with the “Big 5” – the FDA’s list of highly infectious pathogens easily transmitted by food workers¹ – are you aware of the effect they can have on your foodservice establishment? Norovirus, hepatitis A, Salmonella, Shigella, and E. coli, as well as other foodborne pathogens, can lead to 48 million cases of foodborne illness each year in the U.S.² and cause $51 billion of annual economic impact nationwide.³

In fact, just one foodborne illness outbreak can cost a restaurant from $3,968 to $2.6 million.⁴

Focusing on an efficient hygiene plan, with effective products in the right places, now can pay off in the long run. The PURELL® brand holistically supports these efforts with products backed by decades of science and innovation and the tools to help you understand pathogens and implement compliance standards.

PURELL® Foodservice Surface Sanitizer Spray can stop the COVID-19 virus, norovirus, E. coli, and Salmonella in 30 seconds, with no harsh chemicals and no rinse required on food-contact surfaces. In a fast-paced service industry, these quick kill times can make all the difference in eliminating germs and satisfying customers.
