“CHECKPOINT™ UV TRACERS invisibly replicate food-grade soils to validate sanitation standards across the food sector – from independent caterers to high-care food manufacturing plants. Under UV light, contamination blind spots become immediately visible, driving effective on-the-spot staff training that prevents recurring hygiene failures.”
GLOWTEC bring over 20 years of innovation and leadership in Healthcare Hygiene Training into Food Hygiene Training with an innovative new range of, UV based Food Hygiene Verification and Training tools.
Each tool is engineered to mimic common food soils and contaminants, to provide instant visual proof of cleaning effectiveness and deliver on-the-spot visual training for staff.
Naturally all our products are safe and non-toxic and come with all the necessary compliance documents to make your life easier from the outset.
- Help Validate and Prove your Clean-Down Procedures
- Perform Secret Mark Ad-Hoc Hygiene Audits
- Drive lasting Behavioural Change with Visual Training
- Audit-Ready HACCP, BRCGS and SFBB Compliant
4 Steps to improved Food Hygiene
1. One of several secret ‘audit’ marks is made using an appropriate CHECKPOINT UV Tracer (Gel, Oil, Grease, Spray, Powder or Emulsion) on a designated worksurfaces, handles, control panels or knife handles etc. The location and type of each mark made is recorded in the Cleaning Inspection Audit Log.
2. Daily post-production / end-of-day clean-down proceeds as normal.
3. A post clean-down UV inspection reveals one or more cleaning failures.
4. The QA Manager ‘visually’ cleaning failures to the colleague(s) responsible and politely how and why it occurred. Corrective >re-training is then provided to avoid any recurrence.
– Update the Cleaning Inspection Audit Log with the results.
Whilst this is a rather simplistic example of CHECKPOINT Visual Hygiene Training in action, it still serves to explain it well.
"Visual evidence based feedback, drives lasting behavioural change."
…Once they see it, they won’t forget it!

The CHECKPOINT™ UV Tracer Range comprises a series of 7 near-invisible UV tracer agents, specifically formulated for UV cleaning verification and visual hygiene training use in industrial food processing and commercial food handling environments.
CHECKPOINT UV Tracer – Acts like creamy sauces, mayonnaise, or liquid marinades to show how wet food residues cling to apron seams, chopping board grooves, and mixer attachments. Best all-round tracer.
CHECKPOINT UV Gel – Mimics sticky meat juices, raw egg, or blood splatters to test whether staff are scrubbing worktops, knife handles, and vertical tiles thoroughly rather than just wiping over them.
CHECKPOINT UV Grease – Replicates heavy, persistent kitchen grease, lard, and fryer build-up on canopy filters, splashbacks, and cooking ranges to test whether your food-safe degreasers dissolve baked-on fat rather than smearing it.
CHECKPOINT UV Marker – Simulates finger-grease and raw-food contact transfer to prove how easily invisible greasy prints travel directly onto fridge door handles, order pads, taps, and probe buttons.
CHECKPOINT UV Spray – Replicates airborne grease mists and fine droplets from sizzling fryers, hot griddles, or sink spray-hoses to show how grease droplets settle over nearby clean prep surfaces and storage racks. Helps visualise cross-contamination vectors and pathways.
CHECKPOINT UV Duster – Mimics dry flour and starch dust that binds with kitchen grease on surfaces, creating stubborn, bacteria-trapping grime on shelf edges, spice racks, and under counter units.
CHECKPOINT UV Oil / Spray – Simulates liquid cooking oils, melted animal fat, and deep-fryer splatter to test whether your food-safe degreasers and two-stage cleaning routine actually dissolve greasy residues or merely smear them across worktops and extraction canopies.
CHECKPOINT UV PRO Torch – UV Filtered 365-380nm UV Torch used to reveal the presence of UV tracers.
CUSTOM ABS Carry Case – High-impact, water-resistant ABS outer shell protects your testing tools during storage or travel between sites. Precision foam inserts keep every bottle, pen, and duster neatly organized and protected against drops or leaks.
Safe and Non-Toxic: Every medium is non-hazardous, allergen-free, and easily washed away during routine cleaning.
UK Manufactured: Proudly designed and manufactured in the UK to support national food safety standards.
