USDA-Approved Flooring for Food and Beverage Processing

Protect Your Facility, Stay Compliant, and Operate with Confidence

USDA-approved flooring is vital to the success of businesses operating within the food and beverage industry. Anything less than the best can lead to food safety or health code violations that involve fines or even facility closure.

Instead of taking that risk, invest in high-quality floor coatings to help you and your staff stay within code and keep them safe from bacteria, mold growth, and other internal risks.

What Are the Requirements for a USDA-Compliant Flooring?

In facilities regulated by the USDA (such as food processing plants or commercial kitchens), flooring must meet several non-negotiable criteria. According to the USDA and FDA guidelines, floors must be:

• Durable and Long-Lasting
• Seamless
• Easy to Clean
• Non-porous and Impervious to Moisture
• Resistant to Chemicals and Thermal Shock

These requirements help eliminate environments that could harbor bacteria, mold, or pests, thereby protecting both consumers and the integrity of your operation.

Flooring that Meets and Exceeds Compliance Standards

Epoxy and urethane floor coatings create seamless, non-porous, antimicrobial surfaces that comply with USDA, FDA, and even stricter local health department standards. Their versatility and durability make them a reliable solution for the demanding conditions of food and beverage environments.

What Kind of Facilities Need a USDA-Approved Flooring?

USDA flooring standards apply to any facility involved in food production, processing, storage, or service. This includes:

• Commercial & Institutional Kitchens
• Meat, Poultry, Seafood, and Dairy Processing Plants
• Beverage Bottling Plants
• Food Packaging & Storage Warehouses
• Restaurants, Cafés, & Fast-Casual Chains
• Supermarkets, Specialty Grocers, & Food Retail Stores
• Hospitality Venues with Food Prep Areas

The Benefits of USDA-Approved Flooring for F&B Facilities

Beyond regulatory compliance, USDA-compliant flooring offers a wide range of practical and operational benefits for food and beverage environments:

Easy to Clean & Sanitize

Epoxy and urethane coatings are moisture-proof, chemical-resistant, and capable of withstanding high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. This means:

• Fewer hours spent on cleaning
• Reduced need for specialty cleaning chemicals or staff
• Better protection against microbial growth in pores or cracks

Increased Worker Safety

Food production floors are prone to spills, splashes, and moisture, making them especially hazardous for slips and falls. Food-grade epoxy and urethane coatings include slip-resistant features that provide extra grip, promoting employee safety. That translates into:

• Fewer workplace injuries
• Less downtime
• Lower insurance and workers’ comp claims

Exceptional Durability

Epoxy and urethane coatings are engineered for impact resistance, thermal cycling, and chemical exposure. With proper maintenance, these systems can last 10+ years, even in high-traffic environments. This means:

• Fewer repairs and replacements, saving money over time
• Reliable protection against wear from harsh cleaning routines
• Longer facility uptime with minimal disruption to operations

• Confidence that your facility is audit- and inspection-ready
