Hello Everyone,

                             Newly to the world of chocolate. I am a QA Manager at a Chocolate & Confectionary Facility. I have a question about chocolate and sanitation. My background is been years and years of sanitation management in all walks of life when it comes to food. Slaughter houses to bakeries and so on. Now when I look at how they clean, Dry clean and what they cannot really get to; to clean. Inside of me wants to grab a hot water hose fill up a tank, pump it through in a closed circuit clean and that would solve getting those pipes cleaned and other equipment. Now the reason for the multiple cleans is the different colors of chocolate used. 2 dedicated tanks for colors.At this time they manual clean / wipe down; wipe out.

                              I understand the effects water would have on chocolate but in all realty there has to be a better way cleaning up after chocolate.  I would appreciate any feed back... Thank you.

 

 

 

Side Note: Tanks are 8-9 ft. high / deep. The piping is water jacketed / heavily bolted. Not an easy has a regular tube pipe with a simple clamp to remove and clean out or soak..

Hi I am looking for food contact degreaser for cleaning allergens.  What's the best one? Can anyone give me examples. This is for cleaning large confectionery pans after processing almonds and hazelnuts.

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

I have tried Dawn soap in most of the companies i have worked for and this soap works great for anything and everything. It cuts grease, removes allergens. Removing allergens does not depend just on the soap. It needs a contact time of at least 10min and some scrubbing. But definetely, Dawn is a great soap, degreaser, allergens removal.

 

Thanks
