Byotrol cleans up at awards

BYOTROL, the North West developer of anti-bacterial hygiene products, has won a key award.

The Manchester company – which said last month that the swine flu outbreak had boosted sales, was named best new product at the Society of Food Hygiene & Technology (SOFHT) awards.

Judges praised  Byotrol’s unique formulation and sanitisation properties could dramatically improve hygiene within food manufacturing, preparation and retail environments.

Byotrol has developed a water-based microbial technology which forms an invisible layer on any surface, including human hands or a factory floor.

Independent tests have shown it delivers increased protection against bacteria fungi and viruses, including those that cause food spoilage and food poisoning.

Unlike conventional disinfectants, Byotrol continues to work after it has dried. Despite its superior germ killing properties, Byotrol is so safe it would not cause harm even if ingested, making it perfect for use across the food industry.

Byotrol chief executive David McRobbie said:”It is always gratifying to be recognised by our own industry experts for the unique properties of our products, particularly when the award was presented to Byotrol in front of the leaders of the food industry. 

“We have always recognised that the food industry takes a world lead in hygiene and this award underlines the significant opportunities for Byotrol products in the food sector.

“We have been encouraged by the new client conversations that have resulted from Byotrol receiving this award.”
