A bacterial outbreak in a food processing plant can have devastating impacts throughout the supply chain. Learn how this grind facility was able to eliminate a bacterial outbreak and get back up and running.

In the warmer months in the Midwest, food processing facilities—particularly protein processing plants—are faced with a common problem. Bacteria, specifically a gram positive species that tends to thrive in warmer environments, contributes to faster food spoilage, reducing the shelf life of products to less than two weeks. 

A protein processing plant based in Kansas was experiencing this issue, and the team tried a range of treatments to kill the bacteria. When all the attempted treatments failed, they turned to D7 as a solution. 

Decon7 worked with the processing plant to determine the best treatment option to eliminate the gram positive species. After a test demo using D7 disinfectant, the team saw almost immediate results, resulting in:

• • A quick elimination of bacteria 
  • A decrease in production downtime
  • An eventual increase in product shelf life
