The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was created to ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply. FSMA shifts industry focus from responding to contamination, to preventing it, making food processors take a more proactive approach to eliminating and preventing foodborne contaminants from entering their plants.

Hygiene mandates in food production and packaging facilities continue to be a critical focus of processors and regulators, yet some companies still cling to cumbersome and less-than-effective methods of washing and sanitizing containers used in the process stream.
