Microbiological Hand Swab Reports For Your Workers
Food Handlers in bakeries are supposed to under go Hand swab test in regular intervals to ensure that the food which comes in contact with these workers are not contaminated with bacteria . This is also mandatory for food manufacturing units under ISO 22000 or HACCP certification .
This test also reflects the unit's hand washing , personeel hygiene training effectiveness . Most of the bakeries have hand washing dispenser installed at various exit and entry points as per their worker strength alongwith some anti bacterial soap solution and driers . Regular training are imparted to make worker learn the importance of hand washing in making bakery product contamination free . Swabs from machinery could also be sent alongwith these samples for the report .
They are several NABL approved labs which conducts these test and give reports against small fee. These swabs test sample are collected to determine the presence of microbes on food handler hands .
Microbes investigated are
ESCHERICHIA COLI Ref IS : 5887 ( part i 1976)
STAPHYLOCOCCUS SUREUS Ref IS : 5887 ( part ii )
SALMONELLA Ref IS : 5887 ( part iii )
CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS /BOTULINUM Ref IS : 5887 ( part iv )
VIBRIO CHOLERAE /PARAHAEMOLYTICUS Ref IS : 5887 ( part v )

Micro zap Technology To Increase The Shelf Life Of Bread
For long the researches and food technologist have been working for recipe , chemicals, packaging or technology to increase the shelf life of bread so that there could be control on food waste in which stale breads are major contributor
In normal condition the bread shelf in not more than 4-5 days for which the manufacturers have added preservatives and anti oxidant which definitely have some adverse impact on human body . The molds and fungus gets appearing from the 5th or 6 th day in storage thus making it stale .The packaging material which becomes moist while keeping the bread under wrap contributes to fungal growth . Food technologist have been trying to devise recipes or alternative packaging material which could kill these microbes for better shelf life thus reducing food waste in many countries .
To tackle this short shelf issue scientist s and researches at Micro zap have invented a new microwave technology to kill spores and molds for higher shelf which could be as long as 60 days .
A report
In normal conditions bread will go mouldy in around 10 days.
But an American company called Microzap says they have developed a technique that will keep the bread mould free for two months.At their laboratory on the campus of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, chief executive Don Stull showed off the long, metallic microwave device that resembles an industrial production line. Originally designed to kill bacteria such as MRSA and salmonella, the researchers discovered it could kill the mould spores in bread in around 10 seconds."We treated a slice of bread in the device, we then checked the mould that was in that bread over time against a control,” he explained."And at 60 days it had the same mould content as it had when it came out of the oven."
Micro zap rep also claims that this technology would not affect the taste ,texture and bread would be as fresh as it was on the day of production .The technology they are putting up is called cold pasteurization and as microwave employs pulsed power and multiple radio-frequency sources which will ensure energy is transmitted to the food in an even way.

US Bakery Market Is Worth $ 30 Billion
US is the largest bakery product manufacturer in the world with China and India ranked 2nd & 3rd respectively .Bakery market revenue is estimated to $ 30 Billion per year .Average consumption of bakery products by Americans is about 25.4 kg per capita .
A report
The US bakery industry includes about 2,800 commercial bakeries with combined annual revenue of about $30 billion, along with about 6,000 retail bakeries with combined annual revenue of about $3 billion. Major companies include Hostess Brands, Flowers Foods, and Bimbo Bakeries USA (the US operations of Mexico's Grupo Bimbo). The commercial side of the industry is concentrated: the 50 largest companies generate 75 percent of revenue. The retail side of the industry is highly fragmented: the 50 largest companies generate about 15 percent of revenue, and the typical company operates just one facility.
Demand is driven by consumer preferences and by the extent to which grocery stores choose to operate their own bakeries rather than buy from commercial bakeries. Profitability for individual companies is determined by efficiency of operations. Large companies have scale advantages in procurement, production, and distribution. Small companies can compete by offering specialty goods or superior local distribution services. Retail bakeries are labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is about $45,000.
Major products include baked breads, mainly white, wheat and rye, which account for 40 percent of commercial bakery sales. About 20 percent of sales come from rolls, buns, muffins, bagels and croissants; 10 percent from soft cakes; and the rest from pies, pastries, donuts and a variety of sweet goods.

Malpractices Prevalent In Bakeries
Bakeries adopts several malpractices in their greed to make quick money with utter disregard for consumer health or product quality . Few of them have made it a regular practice until caught whereas few of them take chances when they could pass on with minimum of risk .Lack of awareness of legal aspects and lower penalties encourage manufacturers to adopt malpractices in bakeries .
Consumers have to remain vigilant on this front as to report immediately to the concerned authorities if they find any thing missing either in taste or any health related issues after consuming these baked items .Following are signs for poor quality of baked items such as
Presence of foreign particles ( metal , sands , insects , threads , plastic , wrapper )
Pungent small
Fungus or bacterial growth
Poor packaging - seal broken or open packs
Misleading labels ( ingredients , allergens , date )
Poor taste
Stale items
Burnt small or taste
Less Weights
Adulteration by mixing low grade especially cheap and low nutrient material
Mixing inferior items with ingredients or diluting standard recipes for profit
Substitution of ingredients lesser known or inferior brand
Bakeries would buy inferior brands at very low cost to save money and make profits at the cost of consumers well being
Recycling of spoiled material
Many bakeries are found to recycle waste dough or rejected material to cut down waste thus lowering quality of product .
Unsanitary working condition
Manufacturers are found to neglect the sanitation and hygiene part of process to which cases of infestation and report of foreign particles in product are reported by consumers. Not having enough staff to do the cleaning of factory premises .
Lack of personal hygiene and sanitation
Lack of monitoring and neglecting personal hygiene aspects of food handler to save cost .
Use of fraudulent weights and measures
Giving less weight as declared on pack weight or playing with moisture content to have heavier product at the risk of product quality .
Not all bakeries adopt these malpractices but for few who indulge in these methods to make quick profit. Regulators and consumers should remain vigilant against such malpractices .

The Bakemans Story
What went wrong for a very popular brand of north India " Bakemans " having wide range of products from biscuits , bread and cakes has been now sold to Srilankan company .
Excerpt For ET
In the 1990s, a north-based biscuits company, Bakemans Industries, gave industry leaders Britannia and Parle Products sleepless nights with its aggressively-priced offerings in the Marie and Glucose segments. The regional brand with an enviable 13% share, most of it coming out of Uttar Pradesh, was going places - until it decided to go national.
An attempt to carve out a pan-India presence ended in disaster with it plunging into a sea of red. To wipe out its losses, Bakemans raised prices on its home turf, in Uttar Pradesh. That move proved to be the proverbial final nail in the coffin; Bakemans not only failed to become a national player, it lost pole position in the market in which it once ruled the roost. The company was put up for sale, but even the acquisition by a Sri Lankan biscuit player ended calamitously.
The Bakemans debacle serves as a grim reminder for regional brands seeking to go national.
How Safe Is Your Bakery From Fire Hazard ?
In 20 years of baking career I had come across numerous fire incidents in bakery plants . Few were severe others were of smaller nature . These fire incidents raises doubt about the safety standards in the factory . Plant management has to convince people that things will not be repeated to erase fear from minds of workers .The damage caused and the production loss are heavy in such incidents . It takes numerous months to get the insurance claims from insurance companies . Any casualty in these incidents would have resulted in closure of plants , hence every precaution should be take to prevent or eliminate these fire incidents.
Plant were
Biscuit Plant
Fire in Ovens
Fire in bopp laminate waste in scrap yards
Bread Plant
Fire in ovens
You can see that majority of fire have taken in baking area ie is oven area , its natural that most risky place in the bakery production process is oven area with fuel like hsd , ldo , gas and rfo , even electric ovens are now being used in bakery process .
Following has contributed to fire in these cases
Biscuit
The hose pipe in burner came out from burner and fell on the hot plate of the burner zone thus inciting fire
Scrap yard caught fire as some one threw butt of cigarettes in that area .
Bread
In all the incidents , accumulation of bread,crumbs ,debris and remnant inside the the oven mostly in swing tray type oven has contributed for these fire incident .
Following precautions could have reduced and helped people to react to fire hazard in bakery .
- Get a insurance cover for accidents , fires for the factory
- Cleaning of oven periodically definitely would help .
- Have Emergency lights in different area
- Check all manual drives to take out things from oven
- Have Emergency number written in major production area
- Have mock drills in regular interval
- Check all fire safety equipments by third party
- Do the fire extinguishers refilling after the expired dates
- Designate some technical person as safety officer to concentrate on safety issues
- Get the NOC license from local bodies
- Training of workers for equipment used in process also helps in reduction of fire hazards
- Give safety ppe to workers in hot areas
- Use HOT working cards for jobs inside the
- Get fire hydrant installed for long term solution
- Have atleast UPS to drive the material out of ovens.
- Storage of Fuel and Gas to adhere to legal specification of the authorities .
- Install Fire extinguishers in plant
- Fire Hydrant Hose Pipes in several locations
- Install smoke and heat detectors in fire prone area .
Its only when such incident happens that the factory management looks into safety aspect . Simple lapses from factory management could result in heavy loss to the company.
1 Insurance Policy copy
2. Claim form
3. Fire brigade report
4. Police FIR
5. Witness statement ( any two ) first hand acct
6. Cause of accident in detail
7. Pics of the fire incident
8. List of damaged items
9. Log sheet of production report
10. Stock statement of the plant
11. Detail calculation of the loss
12 Raw mat cost supported by purchase invoices
13 Costing of WIP and FG
14. Destruction certificates for the burnt material
15 Balance sheet
16. Material to be kept till insurance company approves the damage and loss of material
So its better to have fire safety in place and avoid fire hazards in bakeries
