  1. Training and supervision of all employees. They should be up-to-date on all the facility regulations.
  2. Food items should be separated and stored properly to limit cross-contamination.
  3. Updating cleaning procedures so equipment is completely fit for food processing.
  4. All items should be labeled according to USDA guidelines.
  5. A supplier control program should be implemented to ensure things are running smoothly.
- t_headline: Trends in Food Processing Plants t_text: Five trends expected to develop within food processing plants in the foreseeable future-

1. Cost-focused innovations
With consumers looking for value at a low cost its putting the pressure on food manufacturers to find innovative means of driving value. Food processors will look at their food manufacturing strategies with an eye on optimization. Flexibility to develop new cost models will come down to an examination of the product's profitability.

2. Energy efficiency
Environmental concerns have caused food processing plants to shift their methods into more energy efficient programs. Sustainability programs are a way to reduce energy consumption during processing. This helps food manufacturers reduce costs and increase margins as well.

3. Healthier, natural foods
With an increasing interest in healthier food options, food processing plants are facing the challenge of increasing output of organic or natural foods. The challenge lays in the types of equipment being used to handle this new trend.

For example, gluten free options are highly popularized. Having this process in bakeries requires a completely different set-up than the standard method of baking.

Along those same lines, derivatives of hemp like cannabinoids or CBD are being incorporated into food products now that they're legal. This goes hand-in-hand with consumer interest in more functional or fortified food items. The inclusion of CBD food products is popular for treating anxiety and intense pain. Food manufacturers are steering towards to incorporating CBD in meal items and snacks.

4. Technology
Technology is now driving many of the food processing plants. New innovations have helped to revolutionize the production of better food products. For example, Kraft Heinz now has a digital resource where they create strategies that will be the genesis of new food products. This strategy is helping them to capitalize on a large segment of the marketplace.

The benefits of blockchain is also becoming more widespread across the food industry. Food processors, manufacturers, and distributors are all leveraging the blockchain technology to increase profit margins of their businesses. The technological advancements will continue to innovate and build more trends within the food processing plants and the food industry at large. p_headline_type: h2 image: i_image: t_description: v_attribution: v_license: video: v_video: Uw9Vb4HBuJ8 v_video_language: default t_name: Food Processing Plant Video t_description: Whether pursuing a new career in food processing, evolving your skills for advancement, or seeking a learning opportunity for your employees, Conestoga's new state-of-the art food processing pilot-plant, provides opportunities to develop specialized and unique skills that industry employees are continuously seeking.
