Award-Winning Communications Make Safeway's Pest Control Hassle-Free
Safeway's Denver milk plant produces milk and cheese for the company's private label program. From its 80,000 square-foot facility, the company manufactures more than 450,000 gallons of milk and 275,000 lbs of cheese per week. The cheese products are sent to more than 1,800 locations in approximately 10 states and three Canadian provinces; the milk products are distributed to nearly 150 stores in the company's Colorado region.
The Safeway plant, like many food and beverage processing facilities, is vulnerable to infestations by pests looking for food and shelter. A steady flow of shipments into receiving areas and heavy traffic through multiple entrances make the facility an inviting target. In the interest of food safety, Safeway needed a reliable pest management program that would keep pests-and the diseases they carry-away from production lines using least-toxic methods.
