1.3 FOOD SAFETY

and vacuum cooking, there are inherent risks associated with these techniques that can result in
serious illness or death to the consumer of the food product. Therefore if you are using
your machine for food applications, you must consult a qualified food technician or specialist
in vacuum / modified atmosphere (M.A.P.) to review the safety of your application.
GAS FLUSH
If your machine is equipped with gas flush (optional) and your application involves the use of
gas flush to extend the shelf life of your product you must consult a qualified food technician or
specialist to review your application and develop a suitable gas mixture for your package.
Further you must perform quality control and gas analysis on your final M.A.P. package.

Every environment and application is different; therefore P r o m a x / Promarks cannot provide
cleaning procedure instructions that will guarantee microbiological sanitation. Therefore Prom ax /
Promarks recommends that the purchaser of these machines consult with a sanitation expert to
review your procedures for cleaning the machine while operating in your environment and with
your specific product to develop a robust cleaning schedule and methodology,followed by
bacterial testing to ensure satisfactory cleaning is achieved.
