Yet Another Salmonella Outbreak Strikes a Food Processing Facility... How The Right Flooring Solution Can Make a Difference

Food plant

Recent headlines tracing a Salmonella outbreak to a plant that manufactures peanut butter highlights the need for food processing facilities to choose the appropriate flooring solution to provide a safe and hygienic environment for their facilities.

Studies have shown that floor surfaces in food processing facilities can harbor dangerous bacteria, including Salmonella. Salmonella is the nation's leading cause of food poisoning with some 40,000 cases of Salmonella infections reported each year. The impact of a bacterial outbreak can cost companies millions of dollars.

CornerStone Flooring's CornerCrete™ flooring system is specially engineered to resist bacteria, fungi, mold and algae. Bacterial resistance is just one advantage of our CornerCrete™ product. This high performance flooring system offers a coefficient of expansion similar to concrete and is ideal for areas subject to chemicals, temperature fluctuations and water pressure used in the cleaning process.

CornerStone Flooring's CornerCrete™ products are environmentally friendly with no VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds).
