Client:
Regional Meat Processing and Packaging Facility
Location:
Central California
Services Provided:
Sanitation and Disinfection, Equipment Cleaning, High-Pressure Wash-Down, Floor Degreasing, and Drain Maintenance

The Challenge

The facility required a USDA-compliant sanitation program to maintain production standards and meet inspection requirements. The previous vendor lacked adequate process control, leading to contamination risks, poor drain maintenance, and regulatory citations.

The Solution

ACBC Management implemented a specialized food-industry sanitation program:

  • Developed SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) aligned with USDA and HACCP protocols.
  • Introduced color-coded cleaning tools for raw vs. packaging zones.
  • Deployed high-pressure wash-down teams trained in chemical safety and PPE compliance.
  • Scheduled mid-shift micro cleans to prevent buildup during production hours.
  • Conducted nightly verification inspections with ATP testing and reporting to plant QA.

The Results

  • Passed USDA and third-party audits with 100% compliance.
  • Reduced downtime due to sanitation failures by 60%.
  • Improved production area odor control and reduced drain blockages by 75%.
  • Client expanded contract to include warehouse storage zones.

Key Takeaways

  • Food industry sanitation demands strict compliance, documentation, and verification.
  • Color-coded systems and training prevent cross-contamination.
  • Consistent supervision and audit reporting ensure reliability and safety.
