When it comes to moisture management, food industry experts work hard to keep humidity levels down in processing facilities when outdoor temperatures rise. Food-borne illnesses are more prevalent during the warmer, more humid months of the year because bacteria thrive and multiply in balmy conditions. The effects of warm, humid weather can have negative impacts on the quality of food, ultimately leading to a product that is not suitable for distribution or consumption. Take preventive action while the weather is still cool and avert a moisture crisis during the summer.

Take a trip back in time with our latest infographic documenting the inception of the U.S. food industry processing standards and how they have evolved to the regulations we know today. Explore the food inspection and regulation timeline, the growth of different food manufacturing industries, where the most processing plants are located, and how the presence of humidity in processing plants can negatively affect the end product. Temporary climate control is a powerful solution for all food processing plants, allowing plant managers to negate the effects of humidity and remain compliant with USDA standards

Excess moisture in a food processing and packaging facilities can cause extensive problems for the consumable products, the building, and worker health and productivity. With condensation control solutions and technologies, a facility can remain compliant with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards, save money and prevent the need for mold remediation. By establishing a condensation and moisture control plan, you can mitigate moisture-related problems and ensure the safety of the overall operation.

Eliminating excess moisture is a battle many food processing facilities face on a daily basis. When an organization experiences flood damage, time and desiccant air drying are important to prevent threats such as condensation or mold. Awareness of the effects of condensation in a facility, and what to do after experiencing flood damage, you can resume normal operations quickly and safely.

From livestock housing to food processing, storage and transportation, regulating humidity is critical to health and safety. Farmers rely on the proper conditions to keep their animals comfortable, safe, and productive.
