Cleaning for Food Processing and Grocery
Answer
A single Listeria zone-1 swab failure shuts down a production line, and a failed USDA FSIS pre-op inspection stops production entirely.
- Compliance spans FDA Food Code 2025, 21 CFR Parts 110 and 117, SQF Edition 9, FSSC 22000 v6, and GFSI schemes.
- Zone-1 environmental samples for Listeria can halt production if contamination is detected.
- USDA FSIS Consumer Safety Inspectors conduct pre-op inspections that must pass before production starts.
