SANITIZATION
This peroxyacetic acid sanitizer is recommended for use on
precleaned surfaces such as equipment, pipelines, tanks, vats,
filters, evaporators, pasteurizers, and aseptic equipment in
dairies, breweries, wineries, beverage and food processing/
packing plants, egg processing/packing equipment surfaces,
and eating establishments. This product is effective as a
sanitizer when solution is prepared in water of up to 400 ppm
hardness as CaCO3. This product has demonstrated greater
than 99.999% reduction of organisms after 60 seconds
exposure period in the AOAC Germicidal and Detergent
Sanitizing Action of Disinfectants study.
NOTE:
FOR MECHANICAL OPERATIONS Prepared use
solution may not be reused for sanitizing but may be
reused for other purposes such as cleaning. FOR MANUAL
OPERATIONS Fresh sanitizing solutions must be prepared
daily or more often if the solution becomes diluted or soiled.
Sanitizing Food Contact Surfaces:
This product can be
used in Federally Inspected Meat and Poultry Facilities as
a sanitizer. Prior to sanitizing, remove gross food particles,
then wash with a detergent solution, followed by a potable
water rinse. Sanitize with a concentration of 1.0-6.1 oz. of
this product diluted in 6 gallons of water (0.13%-0.79% v/v
concentration, or 82-500 ppm active peroxyacetic acid). At
this dilution this product is effective against Staphylococcus
aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Listeria
monocytogenes. Use immersion, spray or circulation
techniques as appropriate to the equipment. All surfaces
must remain visibly wet with the sanitizing solution for
a period of at least 60 seconds or more if specified by a
governing code. Drain any excess solution. Do not rinse.
Foam Cleaning of Food and Non-Food Contact Surfaces:
As an adjunct to cleaning and sanitizing procedures this sanitizer/
disinfectant may be added to PERAFOAM
TM
and foamed on
environmental or equipment surfaces using conventional
foam-generating equipment. PERAFOAM
TM
is the only approved
product that may be used. The resultant foam blend can be used
on equipment, floors, walls, ceilings, drains, etc. and must be left on
surface for a minimum of 1 minute or longer.
