Food Sanitiser is a chlorinated liquid that has a broad spectrum of activity that kills most types of bacteria and fungi. Food Sanitiser is suitable for sanitising salad vegetables, food utensils and food contact surfaces. Soaking with Food Sanitiser can reduce bacteria and fungi contaminations from the soil on salad vegetables. This reduces the risk of food poisoning and kills spoilage bacteria that may degrade the salad ingredients.
Applications
Sanitising Salad Vegetables:
- Wash salad vegetables in clean water to remove all visible soiling.
- Then sanitise by soaking in 100ppm (4mL/L) available chlorine solution for 5 minutes.
- Drain off residue but do not rinse.
- Discard solution after use.
- If salad vegetables are not to be used immediately, store them in a fridge.
sanitisation reduces bacteria numbers but doesn’t eliminate them completely, so bacteria will regrow if salads are left out at room temperature.
If food is served to patients with poor immune systems the best option is to only serve them cooked vegetables, not salads.
Sanitising Food Utensils:
- Wash utensils manually in a sink, rinse and then immerse in a 200ppm solution of Food Sanitiser for at least 30 seconds.
- Allow items to dry on a rack after rinsing.
- Make up the solution at the same time as the detergent (A 200ppm solution is made by adding 40mL Food Sanitiser per 5 L of water.)
- discard once the dishes are washed or at least every 2 hours.
Hard Surface Sanitising
- To sanitise hard surfaces, clean and rinse then spray with a 200ppm solution of Food Sanitiser and leave to dry.
- A 200ppm solution is made up of adding 6mL to a 750mL trigger spray.
- Discard any solution left at the end of the day and allow spray to dry.
How to Use
To ensure accurate dosing it is important to know the capacity of the sink unless a mixing station is used.:
- Fill the sink to the normal level and measure the width and depth of the sink and the depth of the water in cm. Multiply these together, then divide by 1000.
- The result is the capacity in Litres.
Food Sanitiser contains chlorine. Store in a cool area and rotate stocks to use the oldest material first. Do not mix with any acidic substances.
