Food safety has always been top of mind for processors undertaking a plant rehabilitation project. With FSMA kicking in, customers setting ever-higher standards and allergen control becoming more important all the time, those rehabilitation projects keep growing in scope.
It may seem overwhelming to consider all the different components of a plant rehabilitation, but starting with a comprehensive review of exactly what will be done will help the process. This includes what food safety concerns apply and how to best balance those concerns with the production capabilities needed when the rehabilitation project is done and when production comes online.
