Elliot Firth, Chief Technical Officer at Hydrachem, commented:

"Water is the lifeblood of food production, and when it's compromised, the entire system is at risk. The rising frequency and severity of pollution incidents create dangerous safety gaps that can affect everything from crop irrigation to animal drinking water and wash-down processes.

"Farmers and food producers are under growing pressure to maintain hygiene and safety standards, yet water quality is too often the weak link. We need urgent, preventive action before pollution events lead to real food security crises."

Backed by over 50 years of experience manufacturing effervescent chlorine tablets used in over 60 countries, Hydrachem delivers proven hygiene solutions for agriculture food production. The company advocates a move towards preventive and safe disinfectant solutions, reducing the risk of contamination before it threatens crops, livestock or the food supply chain.

Trusted solutions like Hydrachem's Agrichlor tablets are designed to help farmers and food producers keep water supplies, poultry entrance areas, kennels, holding pens and vehicles safe, clean and compliant with strict regulations. They show how practical science can play a crucial role in safeguarding the food chain against growing contamination risks.

"Farmers face rising costs, unpredictable weather and increasingly unsafe water supplies," said Elliot Firth. "Our mission has always been to protect lives and livelihoods by ensuring water safety at every stage of the food chain. As contamination becomes more common, water quality and hygiene standards must be managed as a constant operational risk, not an emergency – only then can we safeguard the integrity of UK food production."
