It is vital that your health team solves the unique problems of your Milk Processing Plant. This small step can greatly reduce food safety issues.
New facilities and process equipment will reduce food safety issues. Adding a well-trained cleaning and sanitation staff is a great insurance policy. This is especially true for those crews who have learned how to clean up and renovate a less than ideal space.
Imagine the following scenario:
A factory is known for producing high quality products. However, the age, layout and space of the facility have begun to limit the quality and quantity of production, so a new facility is needed. An expert consulting team designed a new state-of-the-art facility built by skilled contractors. The informed process provider then installs and debugs the processing device.
However, shortly after the start of production, the factory quality control manager found that the number of molds in the new plant was high. The new HVAC system operates differently than the old system. As the owner, you may ask:
Is the facility design appropriate?
Is the device installed correctly?
Did you find any problems that might not have been solved correctly during the construction process, such as a leaky roof or a faulty utility?
Is the wooden tray for storing bulk food ingredients a mold breeding ground?
These are all major issues that require further investigation. However, do not ignore the cleaning and disinfection process. Instead, you can consider the following questions:
Have you updated the hygiene process by considering the new features, equipment and material finishes of the building?
Has the crew been trained to operate, clean and maintain new equipment?
Does the building have any complex architectural features, such as high ceilings or unique finishes, that may require challenging cleaning procedures or different chemicals?
The best way is to observe the cleaning process. It will soon be clear that the cleaners are still working, just as they are cleaning old spaces. Unless they adjust their hygiene methods to accommodate new facilities, they may not adequately clean new spaces.
After spending all the money and time to design and build a new Fruit Juice Production Line facility, it's always a good idea to review the hygiene process. New spaces may require different cleaning methods to keep the new facility clean.
