Feds Stepping Up Food Facility Inspections

Regularly assessing the integrity of a resinous floor system in a food processing facility is of paramount importance under the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Resinous floors provide a seamless, durable, and sanitary surface that helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, fungi, and other contaminants. Regular assessments ensure that the floor remains intact, without cracks, chips, or other damage that could compromise its effectiveness as a barrier against contamination. By maintaining the integrity of the floor system, the risk of cross-contamination and foodborne illnesses is significantly reduced, ensuring compliance with FSMA regulations and safeguarding the health and safety of consumers.
