Contract Sanitation
Proper Sanitation of your food manufacturing facility is made easy with QSS
The need for adequate cleaning of a food processing facility cannot be overemphasized. Substandard sanitation could result in several issues, including cross-contamination, food-borne illness outbreaks, machinery breakdown, fines, and even legal troubles for non-compliance of regulations. Such preventable problems highlight the importance of cleaning your processing equipment regularly. QSS offers great food safety solutions to small and large food processors through cost-effective sanitation.
We provide cleaning services to the food processing industry with a highly trained workforce. QSS believes each plant is unique and requires tailored sanitation programs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. We customize our sanitation program to the type of ingredients, production schedule, and equipment in your plant.
How We Do It
- We set up a custom Master Sanitation Schedule (MSS) based on the unique layout and needs of your plant. We schedule cleaning for areas such as ceilings, drains, chillers, tanks, warehouses, etc. that do not require daily cleaning.
- QSS will draft Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs) for each piece of equipment and facility area detailing cleaning frequency, chemical usage, and safety protocols.
- We will work around your schedule to accommodate daily, weekly, and/or monthly formalized checkpoints with production and quality assurance leaders.
- Our crews can work on weekends, holidays, overtime, and on short notice.
A Proven Sanitation Approach
Sanitation starts with dry pickup and concludes with documenting the day’s work. In between, we follow a science and time-tested regimen in strict order. Each step sets the stage for the next in a carefully timed protocol. QSS partners with world-class chemical companies to ensure the right chemicals in the correct concentrations deliver optimal outcomes.
The conclusion of our daily routine is the pre-operational inspection by your quality assurance team. We do not leave the job site until you are satisfied. The accompanying pre-operational report captures an array of information that allows us to maintain high service standards and implement corrective measures when needed.
Our Quality Assurance experts attend pre-operational inspections weekly to work with your QA and production managers to ensure all issues are addressed.

Audit Preparation
why preparation is important
Passing all audits and site inspections is vital to the success of your business. Failing an audit is not an option as it can damage your reputation among retailers with the fear that your products might be unsafe to sell to consumers. Fines and the overcorrecting red tape associated with point deductions also impose an unnecessary burden. Therefore, implementing measures to ensure your facilities are audit-ready at all times should be a priority. At QSS, we provide audit preparation solutions to keep your plants and paperwork audit-ready at all times. Our team is fully versed in all industry regulations. Call us now to schedule an appointment to prepare your facility for the next audit.
