You should ensure your food processing plant adheres to all legal standards such as observing health and safety regulations, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the premises, preventing cross-contamination of food products, utilizing properly calibrated weighing scales for measuring ingredients, labeling food items with accurate information and warning labels in cases of potential allergens. If you plan to store or export food items across state borders, you should also familiarize yourself with each state's specific laws and regulations related to the production, storage and sale of processed food items. To avoid any penalties for violating these laws, it is best to carry out product certifications for various products produced in the plant on a regular basis. Regular audits by an outside organization may be beneficial in order to confirm compliance with industry standards. 

Talk openly with suppliers, regulators and customers about product testing or other needs that may help keep your operations legal as well as successful. Building relationships around communication can go a long way toward avoiding any unwanted penalties due to lack of due diligence when following legal protocols in running your business. Finally be sure all employees at all levels are thoroughly trained on applicable standards so there can be consistent understanding among everyone involved about best practice procedures related specifically to their tasks at hand within manufacturing processes

There are several steps you should take to ensure your food processing plant is compliant with legal standards. Firstly, familiarize yourself with applicable industry regulations and the Standard Operating Procedures from local health departments or authorized agencies. Secondly, provide proper training for staff members involved in food preparation and processing to ensure they understand proper safety and hygiene procedures. Finally, make sure cleaning schedules are regularly conducted according to legal regulations and that all sanitation equipment (e.g. sterilizers, steamers) are kept in good working order at all times. Doing these can help avoid any penalties due to violations of food safety laws and regulatory requirements for your food processing plant.
