Sanitation of all surfaces

Our effective sanitation program helps prevent surface contamination caused by hazards that may be present on equipment parts, various contact surfaces and in general locations by:

• reducing the presence of biological hazards such as pathogenic microorganisms;
• eliminating physical hazards like glass, plastic and metal;
• eliminating chemical hazards such as allergens and chemicals used to disinfect and maintain equipment.

Taking steps to reduce the presence of microorganisms also helps prevent contamination of food with food spoilage microorganisms. This can result in higher quality foods with a longer shelf life.

It is possible that some places and equipment that pose less risk of various contamination may not need to be disinfected; however, a clean state is still necessary:

• places such as loading docks, vehicles, boiler rooms and premises in general
• equipment such as forklifts, manual pallet trucks and vehicles, for the industrial environment
