Food manufacturers understand the importance of sanitary design to minimize the risk of contamination, but unfortunately, this awareness does not always result in effective implementation.
Specifically, hygienic zoning is often overlooked as a way to create barriers against cross-contamination by managing the flow of traffic and materials through a facility. If your Food Safety Plan has identified any areas of high food safety risk, consider establishing hygienic zones to help meet current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs) and help prevent a contamination incident.
