At NutroChem, we understand that hygiene is the foundation of quality. In the packhouse environment, hygiene is not just about compliance — it’s about protecting produce, extending shelf life, and upholding your brand’s reputation for excellence.

Why Packhouse Hygiene Matters
From harvest to packaging, fresh produce is exposed to multiple handling points. Without the correct cleaning and disinfection procedures, contamination can occur, compromising both product safety and longevity.
A well-maintained packhouse ensures:
Reduced microbial contamination
Extended shelf life of fresh produce
Improved product appearance and quality
Compliance with local and international food safety standards
