Frequently Asked Questions
Why are catering first aid plasters blue?
Blue is not a colour that occurs naturally in food products, making blue plasters visually detectable if they detach during food preparation. This minimises the risk of physical contamination and supports compliance with food safety management systems including HACCP. Many blue catering plasters also contain a metal strip for detection by metal detectors on production lines.
Is this kit suitable for all food handling environments?
Yes. This kit is appropriate for commercial kitchens, restaurant preparation areas, school kitchens, hospital catering departments, food manufacturing, and any workplace where food is prepared or handled. The blue detectable plasters and Sterochef blue tape are designed specifically for these environments.
