Hand vs. Glove Sanitizing
Started by KTD, Jan 04 2011 04:44 PM
In the US, FDA regulates drugs, while EPA regulates pesticides, which includes microbiocides. It was recently pointed out that many of the 'sanitizing soaps' used in the US food industry are changing from being registered with EPA to FDA registration as drugs. Therefore, using these proucts when washing gloves does not count as sanitizing, as gloves are a considered an 'impermeable hard surface' that must be sanitized with an EPA registered sanitizer. This is evidently a relatively new issue. I know a dip station or similar device resolves the technical issue - looking more to find out if anyone knows what brought this up to begin with...
