What type of certifications are needed by a contractor for the cleaning of a meat processing plant?

Last Updated: June 12, 2009


View as web page

The meat plant is responsible for seeing that its HACCP plan and sanitation standard operating procedures (SSOPs) are carried out as written. The plant can hire a contractor to come in and clean, but the plant is responsible for making sure that the cleaning is done properly. So, no certifications are required for contractors to clean a meat processing plant.
