    2. Contamination, cleaning, hydrophobic surface

    Although the presence and risk of biofilms in the food industry has long been known, few studies have focused on the composition of these reservoirs of micro-organisms and on equipment surfaces. This lack of knowledge is an obstacle to prevention and the necessary corrective measures.

    2.1 Bacterial biofilms in the meat industry

    Every surface in the production environment, from the slaughterhouse to the packaging station for consumer portions in the cutting plant, is colonized by micro-organisms, and in particular by bacterial flora specific and complex to the meat industry. Their way of life is ubiquitous: they can be found in closed production and cleaning circuits, as well as on tools, sponges, dishcloths and foodstuffs, and throughout a production facility...
