Food Contact Surfaces Clean

Clean and sanitize the food preparation surfaces coffee and tea equipment and food storage equipment (ice bins) that were negatively impacted by the fire extinguisher.

Why This Matters

BIOFILM FORMATION: Visible soil indicates biofilms - communities of bacteria protected by slime layers that resist sanitizers. Biofilms on slicers have caused Listeria outbreaks killing 30% of victims. Meat slicer contamination sickened 300 across 6 states. Grease harbors Listeria which grows at refrigeration temperatures.
