USDA-Regulated Meat Processing Facility Coating
Complete USDA meat processing facility coating by certified American food safe coating contractor - antimicrobial surfaces, HACCP compliance, extreme washdown resistance across 380,000 square feet.
USDA-Approved American Food Safe Coating Project
A major regional meat processor required comprehensive coating upgrades across their 380,000 sq ft USDA-regulated facility processing beef, pork, and poultry. The facility produces 2+ million pounds of meat products weekly across seven processing zones including slaughter, fabrication, grinding, and packaging.
As a certified American food safe coating contractor, we addressed critical USDA FSIS compliance requirements including antimicrobial surface protection, extreme washdown protocols (180°F hot water at 3000 PSI, twice daily), and HACCP documentation. Our USDA-approved NSF/ANSI 51 certified epoxy systems with silver ion antimicrobial technology achieved 99.9% reduction in Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria while withstanding 2000+ extreme washdown cycles.

Project Results
"Moorhouse Coating's USDA expertise as a certified American food safe coating contractor was exceptional. Their antimicrobial systems achieved 99.9% reduction in pathogens, and coatings survived 2000+ extreme washdown cycles without failure. When USDA FSIS conducted an unannounced inspection, the inspector specifically noted the superior coating quality. Zero downtime during installation was critical for our operations."
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an American food safe coating contractor qualified for USDA meat facilities?
A qualified American food safe coating contractor must have comprehensive USDA FSIS regulations knowledge (9 CFR Part 416), NSF/ANSI 51 certification expertise, and HACCP documentation capabilities. We provide complete USDA audit packages including antimicrobial testing reports (ISO 22196), HACCP compliance documentation, and USDA-approved material certifications.
How effective are antimicrobial coatings against meat processing pathogens?
Our silver ion antimicrobial systems are independently tested per ISO 22196 against Salmonella enterica, E. coli O157:H7, and Listeria monocytogenes, showing 99.9% bacterial reduction within 24 hours. The antimicrobial technology is embedded throughout the coating matrix, providing 10+ years of continuous protection between washdown cycles.
Can coatings withstand extreme USDA washdown requirements?
Yes, our high-build epoxy systems (20-30 mil DFT) are engineered for 180°F hot water at 3000+ PSI pressure. Testing showed zero degradation after 500 accelerated washdown cycles. Post-installation performance exceeded 2000 actual twice-daily washdown cycles with zero failures over 30+ months.
