An outbreak of Listeria at a commercial bakery led the managers to the considerate and experienced professionals at Pro Squared. With a sense of urgency and diligence, we developed a cleaning protocol to annihilate bacteria and sanitize the entire facility. The shutdown cost the bakery $225,000 per day, so time was of the essence. Within two hours, Pro Squared assembled a team of two engineers, one microbiologist and a chemist, who initially assessed the situation.
At the end of the day, all measurable traces of Listeria were eliminated by a Pro Squared team of 34 that used an industry trusted concoction of chemicals. The following Monday, the Department of Agriculture cleared the bakery to restart production. WIth the help of Po Squared, the bakery was back up and running five days sooner than they would have otherwise, saving them over $1 million in downtime. The owner of the bakery thanked us for our resourcefulness and professionalism that saved them a substantial amount of time and money.
