Food-contact surface sanitation
Dilute per facility SOP and EPA label directions. Apply to pre-cleaned surfaces. Allow required contact time per label. No potable water rinse required at approved concentrations.
CIP (Clean-in-Place)
Add to the final sanitizing rinse per system specifications. Monitor concentration with PAA test strips. Effective in both ambient and cold-water CIP cycles.
Storage and handling
- Store in the original container at room temperature
- Avoid contact with metals (corrosive at concentrate strength)
- Use appropriate PPE when handling concentrate
Application method: dilution and spray, foam, or CIP. Do not invent a ppm from this tab — the EPA label is the rate.
