Those clever little blue plaster

Have you ever wondered why blue plasters are used in food preparation services? Put simply, it’s because there are no natural foods that are blue… well not of the type we’d recommend eating anyway!

Food hygiene has never been more important to consumers, and tighter government guidelines are focusing more and more on ensuring that foreign materials are kept out of food products that are served to the public. Safety guidelines are not only concerned with food preparation standards these days, but also the materials used during the processing of ingredients and products. Guidelines now specify that food service manufacturers should always try and use plastic and rubber materials that are either metal or x-ray detectable.

Enter Salvequick Blue Metal detectable Plasters! These are the newest little commercial kitchen hero, meeting all the latest food safety recommendations. As with the blue plasters you’ve been using in your kitchens for years, if they were to become loose or fall off they would be easy to spot due to their vivid colour. It’s the special metal detectable foil strip that makes them stand out from the crowd. This clever material means that these plasters can be spotted by most metal detectors that are used in the food industry. They comply with the latest recommendations, ensuring your processes are safe and giving you peace of mind that you are doing everything to protect your employees and customers.
 

They come in a handy sterile pack containing medium and senior sizes, which will cover you for most cuts and nicks sustained from minor kitchen injuries such as small knife wounds. Properly covering the wound also minimises the risk of infection so you can be reassured that your staff’s health is being protected. As well as the safety advantages, they are also cleverly designed to fit inside the Cederroth dispenser for adhesive bandages and into any first aid kit. This means you can always ensure that you have a secure, sterile and reliable source of blue plasters for your catering environment so if there is a minor medical emergency, it can be dealt with efficiently and hygienically with little disruption to the working day.

Highly visible catering plasters are an essential component of any catering first aid kit to adhere to health and safety guidelines, but now you can show that you are going above and beyond to meet the highest guidelines and provide the best service possible.
