For Shandong Baker Biotechnology Co., Ltd.—a company specializing in the R&D and production of compound food additives and seasonings—summer means heightened risks of microbial growth. These risks not only affect the stability and safety of our own products but also directly impact the product quality and safety of our downstream food customers—such as manufacturers of meat products, frozen foods, seasonings, and convenience foods.

Fully aware of the responsibility we carry, Shandong Baker Biotechnology has made summer microbial risk prevention and control a top priority in our annual quality and safety efforts. Grounded in rigorous control over our own production processes and with a keen focus on customer needs, we have implemented a series of targeted measures to ensure that, during this critical period, we can continue to provide the market with safe, stable, and highly effective compounded moisture-retaining agents and compounded flavor enhancers—serving as a solid backing for our customers' summer production.

One, Internal Control First: Lean Production, Building Quality Golden Bell Shield

Strict control in the production environment:

( Regular inspection and maintenance of workshop air systems )

Environmental upgrade: The production workshop has comprehensively strengthened temperature and humidity control (maintaining conditions that are unfavorable for the rapid proliferation of microorganisms), increased the operational frequency and monitoring frequency of air purification systems (such as high-efficiency filters)—including monitoring for settling bacteria and airborne bacteria—to ensure that environmental parameters in core production areas consistently meet standards.

( Surface cleaning and disinfection of equipment )

Cleanliness and Disinfection Upgrade: In light of the characteristics of summer, optimize and strictly enforce more intensive cleaning and disinfection protocols for equipment and the environment. Standard Operating Procedure Key control points—such as mixing equipment, packaging lines, and raw material feed ports—are thoroughly disinfected using food-grade, highly effective, broad-spectrum disinfectants, and the disinfection efficacy is verified.

Enhanced Personnel Hygiene: Strengthen training and supervision on employee hygiene protocols, strictly enforce changing procedures, handwashing protocols, and disinfection procedures, and rigorously prevent contamination risks posed by personnel.

( Regular disinfection with specialized external agents. )

Strengthen integrated pest and rodent management. IPM ): In summer, insects and rodents become highly active, and they serve as significant sources of microbial contamination due to the pathogens they carry. For physical protection, ensure that doors and windows in workshops and warehouses are tightly sealed, install barriers such as insect-proof curtains and air curtains, and seal off any pipe openings. In terms of trapping and monitoring, place sticky insect traps and bait stations in key areas around the factory premises, in workshops, and in warehouses, and conduct regular inspections, record data, and perform analyses. As for environmental management, keep the factory grounds clean by removing standing water, weeds, and litter, and store materials away from walls and off the ground to minimize hiding places where insects and rodents can breed and nest.

Precise management of raw materials and processes:

( Microbiological Testing of Products )

Raw Material Risk Screening: Implement stricter incoming inspection and storage condition monitoring (low-temperature, dry environment) for raw materials that readily absorb moisture and are prone to microbial growth (such as certain sugars, protein hydrolysates, starches, etc.). Increase the frequency of random microbiological testing for high-risk raw materials.

Process water activity ( Aw ) Control: In the compounding process, strictly control the uniformity of product mixing and the water activity of the final product. Aw ). Low water activity is one of the key methods for inhibiting microbial growth. By optimizing formulation and process parameters, we ensure that the finished product’s water activity remains below the safety threshold—this is a critical safeguard against mold growth and bacterial proliferation inside the product during summer.

Process monitoring encryption: Key control points in the production process ( CCP Conduct more intensive monitoring and recording to ensure stable process parameters and prevent localized moisture accumulation or microbial growth caused by fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

Warehousing and Logistics Security Enhancement:

Warehouse Environment Optimization: Implement stricter temperature and humidity controls in the raw material warehouse, semi-finished goods warehouse, and finished goods warehouse. 24 Hourly monitoring and control. Prioritize maintaining the finished goods warehouse in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment. Optimize inventory turnover by adhering to the “first-in, first-out” principle and reducing the time products spend in storage.

( Products and Warehouse Environment )

Upgraded packaging protection: Check and ensure that the sealing and barrier properties (especially moisture-proof performance) of all product packaging meet the requirements for summer transportation and storage. If necessary, add inner packaging protection for specific sensitive products.

( Transportation protection )

Cold chain / Protective Transportation: For products with special storage requirements or shipments destined for regions with high temperatures and high humidity, assess and... Timely Enable cold-chain transportation or strengthen insulation and moisture-proof measures during transit.

II. Customer Perspective: How Our Products Become Valuable to Customers “Summer Defense Line”

We are well aware that Shandong Baker’s products (compound moisture-retaining agents and compound flavor enhancers) are an important component of our customers’ food formulations. During the summer, not only must our products themselves be safe and stable, but their functionality also directly or indirectly affects the microbial control of our customers’ final products:

Compound moisture-retaining agent: Going beyond just water retention, it also helps prevent corrosion:

By effectively combining moisture and reducing the product's... “Free water” content, synergistic Control Water activity of the customer’s final product ( Aw ), creating an internal environment that is unfavorable for microbial growth. This is particularly important for the safety of perishable foods such as meat products and aquatic products during the summer.

We continuously optimize our compounding formulations. While ensuring excellent water-retention and tenderizing effects, we are exploring the potential of natural ingredients in our formulas—such as specific salts and organic acid salts—to provide additional microbial inhibition, thereby offering an extra layer of safety and assurance for our customers’ products.

Compound flavor enhancer: Stable flavor, reduced risk:

Provides stable and efficient flavor-enhancing effects, helping customers reduce their reliance on traditional preservation methods such as high salt and high sugar (although high salt and high sugar can serve as preservatives, they do not align with current health trends).

Some flavor-enhancing ingredients (such as yeast extract) are inherently nutritious. By strictly controlling their quality and handling them carefully throughout the production process, we ensure that they do not serve as a nutrient source for microbial growth in our customers’ products.
