Every year on 7th June, World Food Safety Day highlights the vital importance of safe food practices in protecting public health. The 2025 theme — “Science in Action” — resonates deeply with our team at Kersia, where innovation and scientific rigor are key to everything we do.
Why Science Matters
Science is the foundation of food safety. It helps identify the causes of foodborne illnesses and guides us in preventing them. Without science, maintaining hygiene and safety across complex food supply chains simply wouldn’t be possible.
“At Kersia, science drives how we think, act and innovate,” says Darren Saunders, Technical Service Director. “We heavily invest in R&D to deliver cutting-edge hygiene solutions, not just in chemical formulations but also in digital, equipment and testing systems.”
From Labs to the Factory Floor
Our commitment to Inventing a food safe world means working hand-in-hand with customers to ensure safe food production, whether that’s on farms, in food processing facilities, or during crisis response.
Paula Capaldi, Key Account Manager, puts it simply:
“We’re safe sounding boards, problem spotters and solvers. We support customers in challenging times and see the impact of our work week to week, year to year.”
Scott Raynor, Technical Sales Consultant, echoes the importance of hands-on engagement:
“Regular site visits and hygiene audits allow us to identify areas for improvement and educate teams on best practices — it’s about ongoing support, not just one-time advice.”
Helping Customers Stay Ahead of Risks
Kersia’s integrated support helps shift the mindset from reactive fixes to proactive food safety culture.
“We build technical support plans with customers, considering everything from cleaning methods to equipment and training,” Darren explains. “That way, we understand their food safety risks deeply and can help control them.”
In one real-world example, Conal Saha, a Technical Sales Consultant, recalls how his advice solved a persistent hygiene challenge:
“When a high-care site had persistent Listeria challenges, we worked together as a team and managed to identify and eliminate the problem. That’s the impact of science in action.”
More Than Just Hygiene
Our approach isn’t limited to hygiene, it’s about sustainability, efficiency, and building long-term trust. As Paula adds:
“Kersia’s solutions are logical, evidence-based and backed by training. We help our customers think smarter and safer.”
For all of us at Kersia, World Food Safety Day is not just a moment of reflection, it's a celebration of the purpose that drives us every day.
As Scott sums it up:
“Helping customers understand and apply best practices means safer food for everyone, and that’s something I’m incredibly proud of.”
Ensuring safe and sustainable connections across the food chain with expert hygiene solutions.
