Two segments of the wider industries namely, Meat base and Non-Meat Base.

Because of stringent pre-requisites and the nature of the product and its process, it is necessary to have foot bath facilities.

However, in a non-meat base facility, is foot bath a pre-requisite. I have come across cases where certain "authorities" had demanded for it when Aw and moisture content is a major issue to certain products.

In fact, foot bath is a source of bacteria itself if not properly managed and could this also means that foot bath should be removed even from meat base operations.

Good to know other's experience or comments on this issue.
