Press Release Summary = Consumers and governments are demanding increased measures
be taken to increase food safety. Ronco's variety of personal protective equipment
can contribute to your company's compliance with the critical control point
requirements of HACCP.

Press Release Body = Toronto, Ontario (December 1, 2006) - Consumers and governments
continue to demand enhanced food safety, and personal protective products play a key
role in this area. Ronco (www.ronco.ca) offers a wide variety of items that can
contribute to your company\'s HACCP compliance. In order to facilitate compliance, it
is beneficial for companies to:
1. Ensure proper use of relevant types of gloves and protective apparel, including:
a. gloves
b. hairnets/bouffant caps
c. beard covers
d. aprons/sleeves
e. lab coats
f. shoe covers
2. Train employees on the appropriate types of protective clothing to wear, when
they must be changed, as well as the correct way to don, doff, store, and clean (if
applicable) the item
3. Wash reusable clothing thoroughly or use single-use items
4. Clean and bandage cuts and cover with gloves so as not to contaminate food with
bacteria from the wounded area
5. Use innovative products such as Ronco\'s GC-1000 disposable glove dispenser to
maximize hygiene of gloves being used
6. Select glove material according to the chemical being used to ensure maximum
protection as materials offer different degrees of protection to the harsh solutions
used in the market. Chemicals are a key component in maintaining the hygiene and
ongoing operation of the plant and machinery, and working with them requires the use
of proper hand, eye, arm, and clothes protection.
7. Ensure employees wash hands thoroughly, using proper hand washing procedures,
before donning gloves and handling food
8. Colour code departments by using gloves and protective clothing in a variety of
colours in order to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Taking advantage of the
different coloured items available in the market will facilitate your plant traffic
management by making it easier to determine which employees should be in the
different areas of your plant.
