Hi
My name is Aaron from Zambia. I am Plant Food Safety Manager for multi-processing plant in my Country. I need help on what the standards say about how much lux is optimum for a chicken processing plant.
Thanks

Ensuing Policy Requirements
All rooms and areas of the establishment must be properly lighted by natural light, artificial light, or both. Special attention must be given to the amount and direction of lighting in inspection areas to prevent glare while providing the required maximum illumination.
All light in meat product inspection areas shall be without shadow or glare and have a minimum colour rendering index value of 85 so as not to distort the normal colour of meat products.
Specifically:
Light sources and fixtures must not be a potential source of contamination to meat products. In this regard, design and location are important considerations

Thank you so much Augusteissa. It does make a lot of sense because the light intensity in the poultry plant is much lower than 540 lux. I will need to install more fluorescent tubes. On the other hand do you know how I can measure CRI?

Hi, Duudu.
Augusteissa provided a complete reference for light intensity requirement for meat manufacturing, but you also want to check your local regulations (hoping there is an applicable one) as there are some that may require higher lux.

Generally, in Canada, there is no requirement to measure ROI. with the manufacturer's letter of guarantee, there is an indication of the color white but we measure the light intensity (number of lux) in each room.
