Hi everyone,
I just wondered what peoples thoughts were on the suitability of having the fresh orange juice vending machines in a hospital?
The ones I mean are the type where fresh fruit is cut in half and freshly squeezed into the cup for consumption.
The cleaning mechanism in these is a 15l on board water tank with disinfectant, that is changed a few times a week. The cutting and squeezing unit is cleaned every few times it is used with high pressure water jets fed from this tank (the frequency of cleaning can be set by the owner of the machine).
Obviously there is no microbial control over the dispensed juice, which may become contaminated If the squeezing unit/cleaning water is contaminated, or if the cleaning water isn’t changed often enough or doesn’t have sufficient disinfectant.
Would you drink juice from one of these?
Regards,
Sarah Bailey MSc PGDip Med Myc

Hmm,
Not sure I would drink it. As essentially a food preparation area does it need to meet HACCP requirements?
