Sanitary Design and Construction of Food Processing and Handling Facilities

Abstract

To ensure safe food and adequate sanitation programs, the facility and surroundings in which food processing and handling operations are conducted must be designed and constructed with sanitary design principles in mind. Many existing facilities do not have optimum sanitary design and construction. Certain adjustments and/or renovations, where feasible, may be necessary. While often discussed separately, sanitary construction and sanitary design are inter-related terminology.
