How clean is your bottling line? Effective sanitisation procedures in bottling lines are crucial to meeting FSANZ and client criteria for product quality. A lack of efficacy in CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) regimes and flawed operating procedures may lead to biofilm formation over time and failed QA (Quality Assurance) sterility tests of products. A common occurrence is the intermittent detection of microbes which is due to the high-throughput nature of bottling and usually an indication of an underlying microbial problem.

AWRI Commercial Services are now offering microbiological audits that involve a review of current procedures, as well as the determination of bottling line cleanliness. AWRI Microbiological audits can provide confidence and assurance to you and your customers that current management regimes are effective. The audit may also identify high risk CCPs (Critical Control Points) and highlight areas of improvement.

An independent evaluation can ensure product quality and reduce risk of microbial instability in wine.
