⚠ Threat Assessment

Flies Are a Regulatory Crisis
in Food Processing

In India’s tropical climate, fly populations don’t grow — they explode. For a food processing unit, a single housefly is a biological hazard that can halt operations, cancel your FSSAI licence, and destroy export deals.

🔬 Tap a pathogen to see the risk
Salmonella (46.7%)
Norovirus (50%)
E. coli
Typhoid
Cholera
Salmonella (46.7% of flies in Indian food environments) — Leading cause of food poisoning. Found on 46.7% of flies sampled in Vellore, India food facilities. Heat-stable strains survive processing if contamination enters early. Triggers mandatory product recall under FSSAI FSS Act Section 28.
Norovirus (50% of flies sampled) — Highly contagious. Responsible for massive institutional outbreaks. Survives on surfaces for weeks. A single contaminated batch can affect hundreds of consumers and trigger criminal proceedings against the processor.
Pathogenic E. coli — Often antibiotic-resistant strains found in Indian processing environments. Particularly dangerous in RTE (ready-to-eat) and dairy processing zones where product is not reheated before consumption.
Typhoid (Salmonella typhi) — Endemic to India’s subtropical zones. Flies from drain/waste areas carry it directly to open product. Can cause outbreaks in facility canteens affecting the workforce — raising absenteeism and liability.
Cholera (Vibrio cholerae) — Transmitted through faecal-oral route via fly contact with contaminated waste water, common in processing units near urban drains. Potential for rapid spread in facilities with shared water infrastructure.

5 Critical Risk Zones in Your Facility

🚪

Raw Material Entry

Open docks and receiving bays. Highest fly ingress point. No visible barrier control in most Indian units.

🏭

Processing Floor

Exposed protein, warmth and moisture — perfect fly breeding conditions 12 months a year.

🗑️

Waste & Drainage

Decomposing organic matter. Fly breeding hotspot — population doubles every 7 days without control.

📦

Packaging Zone

Open product before sealing. Contamination here bypasses all upstream controls completely.

❄️

Cold Storage Entry

Temperature differential creates condensation; persistent fly pressure at cold chain entry doors.

How Infestation Compounds — Tap Each Stage

Stage 1: Entry
Stage 2: Landing
Stage 3: Breeding
Stage 4: Surge
🚪

Entry & Infiltration

Flies enter via loading bays, vents, drains and door gaps. In Indian conditions, a 5mm gap under a rolling shutter is enough for a full infestation. Flies are attracted by the smell of raw material from up to 800 metres away.

LOW response window — first 24 hrs
🦠

Pathogen Transfer on Landing

Each landing deposits bacteria from the fly’s body, legs and mouthparts. A single fly makes 300+ landings per hour on open surfaces. It takes milliseconds — there is no visual warning before contamination occurs.

CRITICAL — product contamination active
🥚

Rapid Breeding Cycle

One female lays 500–900 eggs over her lifetime. Full lifecycle: 7–10 days in warm processing facilities. Drain slime, organic waste and floor moisture are the most common breeding sites inside Indian food units.

HIGH — 10x population growth possible
📈

Population Surge & Chemical Resistance

Without intervention, fly populations double every 7 days. Chemical sprays work for 1–2 cycles before full resistance develops. At this stage, no spray can reduce the population — only trapping and exclusion can break the cycle.

EXTREME — conventional control fails
✓ Organic Solution

India’s First Food-Grade Organic
Fly Trap for Processing Units

A non-toxic, non-pheromone, food-grade organic trap that intercepts flies at the perimeter before they enter your production floor. Zero chemicals, zero residue, FSSAI-aligned.

FlyTrap organic bag — food processing
✓ 0% Chemical

FlyTrap Organic Disposable Bag

Food-grade organic bait

Non-pheromone attractant. Catches both male and female flies. No residue on nearby product or surfaces.

30-day continuous protection

One trap per zone, active for 25–30 days. Replace at each production cycle start.

No resistance — ever

Organic food-based attractant. Unlike chemicals, flies cannot develop resistance. Works every season, indefinitely.

Zero production downtime

Hang and leave. No PPE. No evacuation. No waiting period before resuming production.

FSSAI Schedule 4 aligned

Organic physical control method. Fully documentable as a CCP under HACCP and ISO 22000 frameworks.

Setup in 4 Steps — No Training Required

01
💧

Activate with Water

Fill to the marked line. Organic bait activates on contact — no chemicals, no measuring.

02
📍

Position at Entry Points

Hang 3–4 ft high near docks, vents, drains and production entry doors. 10–20 ft outside is optimal.

03
🪰

Flies Enter, Can’t Escape

Both sexes drawn in and trapped. No mating = no breeding. Infestation cycle breaks in weeks.

04
🗑️

Seal & Replace Monthly

Seal cap, dispose hygienically — zero fly contact. Replace before each new production batch.

✓ Regulatory Alignment

Government Standards &
Certification Alignment

FlyTrap aligns with every major Indian food safety and export regulation. Here are the government bodies whose standards your facility must meet — and that FlyTrap supports.

FSSAI — Food Safety & Standards Authority

Schedule 4 pest management under FSS (Licensing) Regs 2011. Surprise audits increasing in 2026. Organic physical control strongly preferred in food contact zones.

fssai.gov.in ↗

APEDA — Processed Food Export Authority

Zero pesticide residue mandatory for APEDA-registered export units. One failed test = shipment rejection. EU and USA buyers enforce this rigorously.

apeda.gov.in ↗

Ministry of Food Processing Industries

Governs hygiene standards under PLI and PMKSY schemes. Pest management is a graded compliance criterion for PLI incentive disbursals.

mofpi.gov.in ↗

Export Inspection Council of India

Certifies food processing plants for export. Chemical pest control in food contact areas can trigger rejection of EIC certification renewal audits.

eicindia.gov.in ↗

National Horticulture Board — Cold Chain

Defines pest exclusion protocols for NHB-registered cold chain and processing facilities. IEC-compliant pest management required for subsidy disbursals.
