Disinfectant in cream

For many people, whipped cream is essential for ice cream and cakes. In ice cream parlors and bakeries, cream whipping machines are often used for production. Mistakes are often made when cleaning the machines. For example, 41% of the approximately 1800 controlled businesses forgot to rinse with hot drinking water afterward. This leads to disinfectant residues in the cream.

Additionally, almost all businesses (94%) did not conduct self-checks for residues of cleaning and disinfecting agents. Only a quarter of the businesses could present self-check results for microbiological examinations.

In our Tentamus laboratories, we regularly conduct investigations on cleaning agent residues and the microbiological examination of whipped cream. We provide you with fast and reliable results.
Our customer advisors will be happy to assist you with any questions.
