Since the environment is always wet, one of the primary food concerns is listeria and food contamination prevention is the number one concern. Workers are usually exposed to cold temperatures whether it be in Refrigerated Production Rooms or in Freezer Storage.

An FDA study concluded that Frozen Food processors were faced with more problems than other food processors. Deficient employee training and Poor Plant and Equipment Sanitation were cited by 94% of study participants. Contamination during Production was also a high at 81%. The key to HAACP compliance for Frozen Food companies is durability of the hygiene equipment and the quality of the cleaning chemicals.
