Byotrol product cleans up at food hygiene awards

By Simon Binns

Manchester-based infection control products company Byotrol Plc (AIM: BYOT) has won best new product at the annual Society of Food Hygiene & Technology (SOFHT) Awards.

The firm has developed a water-based microbial technology which forms an invisible layer on any surface, which has been designed to give protection against bacteria fungi and viruses.

Richard Werran, managing director of Cert ID Europe Ltd, the certification body that nominated Byotrol for the award, said the technology had the potential to “significantly improve hygiene in food manufacturing, food service and retail sectors at a stroke".

The firm's range of products for the food and beverage sector include a food contact surface terminal sanitiser known as Byosan, multi-surface wipes known as Byowipes, detergent-sanitiser Byodet and a hand hygiene product known as Byocare.

David McRobbie, chief executive at Byotrol, said: “We have always recognised that the food industry takes a world lead in hygiene and this award underlines the opportunities for Byotrol products in the food sector.”
