CHECKPOINT PRO MINI KITS bring together a range of specialised UV tracer tools, designed for food safety managers, hygiene auditors, and kitchen managers. These low-cost, easy-to-use kits provides everything you need to test cleaning thoroughness, trace cross-contamination paths i.e UV Cleaning Verification then conduct immediate visual staff training i.e. Visual Hygiene Training (VHT).
Why use CHECKPOINT UV™ Tracers?
Traditional “look-and-sniff” kitchen inspections often miss invisible grease films, dry food dust, and allergen cross-contamination paths that harbour bacteria. CHECKPOINT™ UV Tracers eliminate the guesswork in daily commercial cleaning by turning invisible, missed grime into bright, glowing proof under a safe 365 nm UV torch.
By using these inert, allergen-free tracers as covert “secret markers” on high-touch surfaces before cleaning shifts, kitchen managers can instantly audit staff performance, deliver highly effective visual training on the floor, and confidently secure their FSA 5-star hygiene rating.
- Eliminates Guesswork: Replaces subjective “looks clean” inspections with objective, glowing visual proof (Visual Hygiene Training)
- Supports the “4 Cs”: Perfectly aligns with the Food Standards Agency’s Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) training pillars.
- Bypasses Language Barriers: Staff immediately see where they missed, building fast, automatic muscle memory for correct cleaning techniques without the need for translation.
Each kit is designed to focus on a particular food-soil type to closely match the foods you make, prepare or handle on a regular basis i.e:

CHECKPOINT™ PRO MINI KIT 1: The Dry & Touch-Transfer System
Perfect for bakeries, flour mills, sandwich shops, and grocers to stop invisible cross-contamination and track airborne allergen drift.
What it does: Simulates fine dry dust, dry baking powders, and hand-to-object contact routes.
What’s inside: A 365 nm UV-A Torch, CHECKPOINT™ UV MARKER, CHECKPOINT™ UV TRACER (50ml) and a CHECKPOINT™ UV DUSTER.
The Problem It Solves: Traditional cleaning struggle to capture fine, airborne particles and cross-contact pathways. If allergens or dry dust residues are left behind, they can shield bacteria from sanitisers and compromise food safety.
How It Works: This kit allows you to visually map exactly how far fine baking powders (such as gluten or nut dust) drift through the air. It also lets you track how easily staff transfer invisible hand oils onto high-touch surfaces like fridge handles, door latches, and packaging lines, proving exactly where your sanitising schedules need tightening.
Best suited for: Sandwich Shops, Cafes, Coffee Shops, Grocers, and Supermarkets, Bakeries, Flour Mills, Grain Packers etc.
CHECKPOINT™ PRO MINI KIT 2: The Wet Organic & Protein System
Designed for butchers, sushi bars, cafes, and fresh prep kitchens to target wet proteins, sticky raw food juices, and dairy residues.
What it does: Simulates wet proteins, raw food juices, and liquid organic residues.
What’s inside: A 365 nm UV-A Torch, CHECKPOINT™ UV MARKER, CHECKPOINT™ UV TRACER (50ml), and a CHECKPOINT™ UV Gel (50ml)
The Problem It Solves: Wet proteins, raw meat juices, and milk scale are highly adhesive and create prime breeding grounds for dangerous bacteria. Standard wipes often leave a thin, invisible film inside crevices, cutting board grooves, and machine attachments.
How It Works: By mimicking sticky egg whites, raw poultry run-off, and dairy scale, this kit visually proves whether your daily washdown protocols are actually penetrating deep into knife scars, mixer shafts, and sink plugholes. If it glows under the UV torch, it’s not clean—retrain staff on the spot and clean it again!
Best suited for: Cafes, Butchers, fishmongers, sushi bars, fresh prep kitchens, bars and pub kitchens, and event caterers.
CHECKPOINT™ PRO MINI KIT 3: The Heavy Fats & Machinery System
Perfect for takeaways, fast-food outlets, burger grills, and high-speed slicing lines to conquer baked-on lards, griddle fats, and mechanical oils.
What it does: Simulates baked-on grease, thick animal fats, lard, and high-temperature machinery oils.
What’s inside: A 365 nm UV-A Torch, CHECKPOINT™ UV MARKER, CHECKPOINT™ UV GREASE (30ml) and a CHECKPOINT™ UV Oil (50ml).
The Problem It Solves: Heavy, carbonised animal fats and industrial machinery gear oils are naturally waterproof. Wiping them with cold water or weak detergents simply smears the grease, leaving hidden reservoirs that attract pests and contaminate food.
How It Works: This kit simulates stubborn griddle carbon, heavy burger fat, and sliding track lubricants. It physically demonstrates to your team why high-temperature washdowns (above 56°C) and active alkaline degreasers are mandatory to melt away grease films and clear gearbox seals.
Best suited for: Fast-food takeaways, burger grills, fish & chip shops, commercial bakeries, carveries and heavy slicing lines.
CHECKPOINT™ PRO MINI KIT 4: The Mixed Dust & Liquid Lipid System
The best solution for pizzerias, pastry shops, doughnut outlets, and pasta makers dealing with sticky, dual-phase kitchen mess.
What it does: Simulates ‘hybrid’ kitchen soils (liquids/oils mixed with dry baking powders).
What’s inside: A 365 nm UV-A Torch, CHECKPOINT™ UV MARKER, CHECKPOINT™ UV OIL (50ml) and a CHECKPOINT™ UV DUSTER
The Problem It Solves: When liquid lipids (such as cooking oils, butter, or fryer mist) bind with dry baking powders (like flour, starch, or sugar), they form a highly adhesive, cement-like paste that clings tightly inside dough rollers, canopy vents, and table seams.
How It Works: This kit allows you to replicate these complex, hybrid kitchen residues to verify that high-risk equipment is cleaned to a perfect 0.0%-glow standard. It is the ultimate tool to prove to visiting EHO auditors that your dual-phase zones are completely clear of both allergen and oil residues.
Best suited for: Pizzerias, pastry shops, industrial dough makers, and fried chicken outlets and pasta makers.
Each kit comes with a handy SFBB Kitchen Managers Guide explaining the role of each UV tracer and real-life suggestions on how to use them along with the necessary SFBB Compliance Documents you’ll need to be EHO Inspection Ready!
