As in the murky world of bank heists, so too in the mushroom world, laundering seems to be ever more important!
Many growers wash their pickers protective coats on a daily basis, which is absolutely critical to maintaining the highest hygiene standards.
Avoiding cross-contamination and trying not to transmit diseases on garments, is a thoroughly intelligent way to avoid major crop wipeouts.
Stalker has been apprised of a potentially big shift in the laundering process which might just change the way things are done in this niche part of the mushroom production process.
In-house laundry systems, like those used in many care homes in the UK, may well prove to be a cost effective strategy for bigger companies in the mushroom industry in Ireland and the UK.
We hope to carry some more information on this cleanliness issue in the next edition.
