FermiPro Clean is a contract sanitation, food-safety consulting, and training partner for USDA- and FDA-regulated food facilities. We execute overnight sanitation protocols, ATP verification, and SSOP documentation so your team is inspection-ready before startup.
Foodborne pathogens don't negotiate with production schedules. Our job is to make sure your sanitation program stands up to regulatory scrutiny shift after shift — so a held lot, audit finding, plant-level action, or recall doesn't start on a surface we were responsible for.
Americans who fall ill from foodborne illness every year — roughly 1 in 6 of the U.S. population.1
Estimated annual economic cost of foodborne illness in the United States, from medical care, lost productivity, and mortality.2
FSIS inspection actions conducted in U.S. meat, poultry and egg plants every single day under continuous on-site oversight.3
We clean, verify, and document — line-by-line, zone-by-zone, and risk-by-risk. Everything is built around SSOP execution, HACCP controls, FSMA readiness, and the reality of a plant that has to turn around and run again in 8 hours.
Pre- and post-op line cleaning with label-compliant chemistries, verified dwell times, and documented release criteria.
Zone-1 through Zone-4 protocols, dedicated equipment by product risk, and allergen cross-contact plans aligned with your HACCP or food safety plan.
We author your Sanitation SOPs, build your HACCP plan around real CCPs, validate with pre-op trials, and train your team to defend it.
Real-time ATP luminometry and lab-grade swab panels on food-contact and non-contact surfaces. Built for HACCP CCP compliance and pathogen control.
Our crews follow a written, regulatory-aligned sanitation sequence for every line and every shift — with chemistry, temperature, dwell time, and verification logged at each step. The sequence is written before we start, followed as written, and documented as we go.
Removes 80%+ of visible soil before any water touches the line — cuts chemical and water load downstream.
Warm-water rinse to displace fats and proteins before they can set into biofilms.
Chlorinated alkaline foam saponifies fats and lifts protein residue from stainless and plastic alike.
Mechanical action is what actually removes biofilm. Color-coded tools prevent cross-contact between zones.
Neutralizes alkaline residue and removes mineral scale that traps organics and shelters pathogens.
Label-compliant sanitizer applied to food-contact surfaces at verified concentration.
Pre-operational inspection with ATP luminometry and targeted microbial swabs. Nothing runs until numbers clear.
Claims without verification are marketing. FermiPro Clean is built around measurable sanitation execution, documented release criteria, and records your team can defend under inspection or audit.
1 ATP targets vary by luminometer model and plant risk profile. FermiPro sets thresholds per-engagement based on your meter and pre-op standards.
Every FermiPro engagement produces a written Sanitation Standard Operating Procedure keyed to your plant, your product risk, sanitation zones, and line speed — not a template. Each page is dated, signed, and backed by the ATP and swab records that prove it was actually followed.
When an inspector, auditor, or customer walks in, your records need to match what happened on the floor. That's the product.

FermiPro Clean is led by Terrel Dial, M.S. Physics, with 25+ years of food safety, sanitation, quality, HACCP, PCQI, SQF, BRCGS, USDA, and FDA-regulated operations experience. The company was built for plants that need sanitation execution to be measurable, documented, and inspection-ready.
Pricing is built around your product risk, line count, zone complexity, sanitation frequency, and shift schedule — not a menu. Every engagement starts with an on-site walkthrough and a scoped quote within 72 hours.
A full plant or line reset — ideal before a regulatory audit, a product or allergen changeover, or reopening after an incident.
A dedicated sanitation crew on your schedule — 2nd or 3rd shift — with chemistry, labor, ATP verification and monthly trending included.
We write your SSOP, stand up your HACCP plan around real CCPs, validate it with pre-op trials, and train your team to defend it under audit.
If yours isn't here, call the number in the footer. We'd rather answer you directly than pretend in a sales deck.
Almost every plant we service runs us 2nd or 3rd shift so the line is clean and validated before the next day's production. We staff crews across all three shifts, 7 days a week, and we'll flex to your production schedule, sanitation windows, holidays, and product or allergen changeovers. The only thing we ask for is enough lead time to secure chemistry and PPE for your specific zones.
We follow your approved chemical program and product labels. Typical programs may include alkaline cleaners, acid cleaners, and QAC or PAA sanitizers where appropriate. Concentration, dwell time, temperature, compatibility, and verification method are documented as part of the sanitation record.
Every cycle produces a signed SSOP record: chemistry, concentration, temperature, dwell time, verification results, and the crew member who ran it. We add ATP luminometer readings at pre-op with thresholds set by meter, surface type, and plant risk profile, plus targeted microbial swabs where required. You get a physical binder and a monthly PDF trend report for your QA lead.
Both. For plants without an internal sanitation program, we bring a dedicated FermiPro crew — lead, techs, QA verifier — trained on your SSOPs before they ever touch a line. For plants that already have a team, we'll shoulder-to-shoulder supplement on heavy shifts or deep-clean events, and we can cross-train your staff on any protocol we write.
We design color-coded Zone-1 through Zone-4 tools and sanitation controls around your product risk, allergen profile, and food safety plan. Where equipment is shared between products or allergen groups, we build a documented changeover protocol with cleaning, verification, and release criteria before the next run.
Both. We work with large multi-line processors and smaller regulated facilities, including meat, poultry, egg handling, RTE, dairy, beverage, and FDA-regulated food manufacturing operations. Pricing scales to the facility, and our SSOP + HACCP program-build engagement is often the best fit for plants growing into a more formal food-safety posture.
A 45-minute on-site walkthrough with our lead sanitation strategist. We review your lines, product risk, sanitation zones, current SSOPs, recent audit findings, NRs, CAPAs, or environmental monitoring concerns — then we write you a real number.
Your walkthrough request is in. Terrel or someone on the sanitation lead team will reach out within one business day — often the same day if you're in the Carolinas. If it's urgent, call (910) 720-9088.
