Hi all!
Quick question,
So my company (before I came they did this and continued when I came), use different sanitizers for allergen area and non-allergen. They use DrySan Duo (ecolab) for allergens surfaces and equipment and Chlorine or Quat ammonia for non allergen. Question, why can't we just use same sanitizer regardless of allergen or not? I don't see any purpose. Our allergen area is separate from non-allergen, its on the other side of the building. So we dont share equipment. Can we use same sanitizer for all surfaces? this can cut down costs. Thanks!
Hi FS,
Regarding the above see this thread -

Also consider this quote -
A great deal of emphasis is put on sanitising food contact surfaces for obviousr easons. However, it must be understood that sanitisers do not remove residue,including allergen protein.

Based on above, the answers to yr OP would appear to be -
(1) Take care with semantics,
(2) It may depend on what cleaning /sanitizing situation you are talking about
(3) it's a good, probably non-quick, question for Ecolab
