Hi Simon
the air is fairly near the product, we are aiming to satisfy BRC and some of our customers, mainly foodservice companies, not retailers!!!

[Simon]

So what does it say in the BRC about air filtration?

You could get a specialist air filtration company to do a survey of your plant, often this is free. Maybe a good idea would be to get two done:

http://www.cfpdirect.co.uk/hygiene.htm

Or for £60

Guidelines on air quality standards for the food industry
