Sanitary Design and Construction for Food Processing

Sanitary design and construction or renovation of food facilities is essential to maintain a sanitary operation. Hygienic design begins with a site free of environmental contamination such as polluted air, pests, and pathogenic microorganisms. Site preparation is necessary to attain proper drainage and the reduction of contamination from the environment. All portions of a food facility should contain smooth, impervious surfaces that discourage pest entry. Loading dock design should include dock seals.
