Universal Sanitizers and Supplies, Inc. (USS) was started in 1994. Our mission is the optimization of sanitation procedures to reduce or eliminate spoilage due to sanitation practices and to increase productivity through innovative sanitation procedures. Our strong background in food and beverage microbiology and mycology makes us the first choice for companies that deal mainly in the area of acid food and beverage spoilage. One of the founders, Dr. Emilia Rico, is a member of the International Commission on Food Mycology (ICFM; www.foodmycology.org). What sets us apart from the rest of the food sanitation companies is our specialized services. We provide in-depth plant cleaning and sanitation, silo and tank cleaning and sanitation, new equipment passivation, and fogging.
