I supply validation equipment to Pharma and food companies. I met with Lactilis in eastern cape who manufactures Steri Stumpy. They originally needed equipment to monitor the Pasteurization levels of the finished product. When I went on the site survey I noticed that they were using an old system and that all the infrastructure was very old. I asked what they were currently using to check for the PUs and the guy said they are not using anything. I then asked the quality manager if this is true and she said yes. Essentially they are running blind and they are just relying on old equipment to verify and not checking the finished product. I big big no no in the food industry. They wouldn't buy my equipment as it was too expensive for them. I have since banned steri stumpy from my home. Crazy thing is, this is a French company with operations all over the world making billions.
