Supporting your food safety program
Food and beverage plants run sanitation under written procedures and food safety plans, with in-house or contract sanitation crews working every night. Outside support helps when the job is bigger than routine sanitation: a positive environmental sample for Listeria or another pathogen that triggers intensified cleaning, a rodent or bird contamination event, a sewage backup or flood in the plant, a recall-driven deep clean, or a shutdown that requires overhead and structural cleaning.
How we work with plants
- Follow your program. Your sanitation standard operating procedures, approved chemicals and food safety team's direction come first.
- Plan around production and allergen or sanitation schedules.
- Clean top down, starting with overhead structure, piping, lighting and ducts, then walls, equipment exteriors and floors, including drains.
- Coordinate equipment disassembly with your maintenance and sanitation teams for areas that must be opened.
- Sanitize with products approved for your facility and food-contact surfaces as required.
- Verify with your environmental monitoring and, where you want it, ATP testing.
- Document areas, chemicals and results for your food safety records and auditors.
Pathogen findings
When environmental sampling finds a pathogen, cleaning focuses on harborage points: drains, cracked floors, hollow rollers, equipment frames and condensation areas. Your food safety team directs the investigation and resampling. We supply crews and cleaning to support it.
Non-routine contamination
Sewage, flooding, pests and other events in production areas need rapid response and careful documentation, both for regulators and customers.
Common questions
Do you replace our sanitation crew?
No. We support your team for projects, events and shutdowns.
Can you use our chemicals and procedures?
Yes. In food plants we normally follow your approved chemicals and procedures.
Do you provide documentation for audits?
Yes. Records of areas cleaned, products used and verification results are provided for your files.
