Food Contact Surfaces Clean

Low Temp Dish Machine not registering any level of sanitizer solution (Either chlorine or QUATs). Repair to maintain between 50-100ppm chlorine or 200-400ppm QUATs.

Why This Matters

INVISIBLE KILLERS: Bacteria survive on 'clean-looking' surfaces for days. Inadequate sanitization caused Salmonella outbreak affecting 1,500 people via ice cream. Cutting boards can harbor 200 times more fecal bacteria than toilet seats. E. coli survives 1-4 hours on surfaces. Norovirus survives 2 weeks. One contaminated slicer infected 300 people with Listeria.

Code Requirements

Corrective Actions
