I work in an alcoholic beverage industry that bottles mostly wines but also some sweeter carbonated alcohol beverages.
Currently, if the line stops due to equipment breakdown we allow 4 hours down- anything beyond that time requires a lines to be re-sanitized.
Curious what others follow and if there are any actual documented recommendations, GMPs, standards or research articles published on what times might be considered acceptable during a downtime event before re-sanitation is required.
