Disinfecting for BBP

I am looking for supporting documentation giving the concentration levels for any of the food contact 'sanitizers' (chlorine, peroxyacetic acid, 2 and 4 chain quats, etc.) when used to disinfect product contact surfaces after a Blood Borne Pathogen incident. Info is readily available for disinfects used in medical settings, but I would prefer to avoid having to use these, since I do not know of any of them approved for use in a US food processing plant.

From Wiki: A blood-borne disease is one that can be spread by contamination by blood. The most common examples are HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and viral hemorrhagic fevers. It is difficult to determine what pathogens any given blood contains. Maybe you mean Salmonella, E.coli? I have posted a few links below that may be useful

I agree with your comments. However, in the US, the reg agency (FSIS) overseeing meat & poultry processing follows regulatory HACCP, which some times conflicts with scientific HACCP. Recently, a plant had to discard finished product due to not having supporting documentation for the concentration of chemical used to sanitize/disinfect product-contact surfaces after contamination following a BBP incident - this even after chemically cleaning the involved surfaces and given the fact that raw poultry, which would be cooked, was being processed.
