Proper cleaning and sanitizing practices are critical in preventing bacteria that can cause foodborne illness.Cleaning and sanitizing food contact surfaces is one of the most important steps to prevent foodborne illness. Food residues on food contact surfaces and equipment can provide an ideal environment for the growth of disease-causing bacteria. If food contact surfaces are not cleaned properly, bacteria may multiply to dangerous levels. Food contact surfaces are defined as any surface that touches food such as knives, stockpots, and cutting boards. Effective cleaning and sanitation of food contact surfaces serves two primary purposes. The first being to reduce the chances of contaminating safe food during preparation, storage, and service by removing bacteria and other microorganisms.

How to sanitize food contact surfacesDishwashing machines Tableware, glassware and small kitchen tools can be used in a dishwashing machine. A dishwashing machine can sanitize by using either hot water or a chemical sanitizing solution. High-temperature dish washing machines use hot water clean and sanitize. The temperature of the final sanitizing rinse in a dishwashing machine must be at least 180℉ to properly ensure the food contact surfaces have been disinfected. For stationary rack, single temperature machines, water temperatures must be at least 165℉, and the dishwasher must have a built-in thermometer to check water at the manifold where the water sprays into the tank. Chemical sanitizing machines can clean and sanitize items at much lower water temperatures and are dependent on the machine’s design and manufacturer.
