4 Benefits of Using Disposable Safety Knives for the Food, Beverage, and Restaurant Industries

 

In today’s current climate, the FDA has released a series of best practices for the restaurant industry as we transition into a temporary new normal. All of these practices emphasize the importance of cleanliness, hand washing, and preventative measures your food-industry establishment can take for prevention and safety of employees and customers. 

Sharing tools amongst employees and staff for opening boxes, shipping containers, or other packaging materials have a high potential for germ spread. We recommend temporarily making the change to disposable knives at your place of work in the restaurant industry to limit the number of hands using the same tools and protect customers from contamination. 

  1. Reduces Germ Spread

The FDA recommends regularly disinfecting surfaces to prevent cross-contamination. By limiting the number of surfaces that the same people share, the potential for germ spread goes down. 

  1. Our Disposable Knives Maintain Durability

The Secumax 145, for example, cuts material up to ⅛” thick and has a double sided head for multiple uses. The concealed blade still offers a safe option that will protect both the user and the product. 

  1. Metal Detectable Plastic is Still an Option

While temporarily making the switch to disposable knives to limit the germ spread, we understand that most warehouses still require a Metal Detectable Plastic (MDP) option. There are a number of options to fit your needs and keep your employees safe from germ spread.

  1. The Same Martor USA Quality for Individual Employees

Our line of disposable products perform just as well as any of our non-disposable Martor products, but the blades do not need to be replaced. Instead of tools being passed between different hands, every employee in your establishment can have their own tool each new day.
