Key Challenges
- The aging facility was causing severe mold and yeast growth and spread throughout the plant
- Mold and yeast colonized surfaces and spread via airborne spores, which settled onto the product across various production stages and ultimately entered the supply chain
- The company received an influx of customer complaints, negative online reviews, and product returns
- The Food Safety & Quality Assurance team needed a fast solution to keep the mold and yeast away from the product
Solution
24 Sentry XL Synexis® devices deployed throughout the facility without disrupting operations.
