Contact Us TodayGood Hygienic Practices in Houston contend with an environment few templates anticipate: near-tropical humidity that condenses on chilled surfaces, pest pressure that never gets a winter kill, and hurricane-season disruptions that can compromise water supply and sanitation overnight. We implement Codex-aligned GHP programs for Houston facilities that treat these as designed-for conditions — hygiene and sanitation procedures, allergen controls, and personnel practices robust enough to serve as the prerequisite foundation for HACCP or any GFSI scheme.
With documented emergency procedures: pre-storm product protection and shutdown steps, post-event water potability verification before restart, assessment and disposition rules for potentially affected product, and enhanced cleaning and sanitizing of flood-contacted areas. Auditors and FDA both expect food safety decisions after a weather event to be documented, not improvised.
We walk the facility against the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene: personnel practices and training, hand-washing and welfare facilities, cleaning and sanitation effectiveness, allergen cross-contact routes, water and air quality, waste management, and pest control. You receive a findings report with risk-ranked fixes, then we build or repair the written procedures behind each gap.
Foundational hygiene controls aligned with Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene — a prerequisite to any HACCP, SQF, BRCGS or GFSI scheme.
