Resuming Factory Operations After COVID-19: What You Need To Know Webinar

The food factory restart program is a comprehensive HACCP based program designed specifically for food manufacturers, processors, packers and bottlers of food products. It covers a complete GMP fabrication and hygiene/sanitation evaluation against a documented assessment of the factory environment, employee practices, processing equipment and maintenance.

The food factory restart program provides for a complete back to business operational assessment and gives extra reassurance of readiness to resume operations.

These assessments are made to highlight any building or equipment risks to safety of the final product and work in conjunction with the COVID-19 risk controls we have incorporated into the program as an addendum

Background

Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on food supply chains. Although it was the hospitality and food service sector that took the hit, in some areas processing and manufacturing facilities were forced to temporarily shut down their operations or found themselves operating under reduced resources.

Where Covid-19 pandemic has caused serious operational disruption, resuming operations would require a thorough GMP fabrication and hygiene/sanitation evaluation with the added focus on Covid -19 controls.
