Food Processing Equipment
Equipment and systems designed for the Food Processing industry share many of the same components and designs utilized in general commercial manufacturing. However, there are some significant differences which make food processing equipment losses unique. Food processors must adhere to all of the same building ordinances, local codes and worker safety standards met by any manufacturing facility, however, food processing equipment must also meet the necessary FDA, USDA and state government regulations associated with the production of food for the general public.
Adherence to these rules and regulations increases the complexity of an insurance claim . This complexity can be increased as it is common place to custom design or significantly modify food processing equipment to meet the specifications of their food items. Therefore, the device being examined may truly be the only one exactly like it anywhere in the world.
