The primary reason for an effective sanitizing program in the food processing industry is to reduce those disease organisms which may be present in equipment or utensils after cleaning to a safe level as may be judged by public health requirements. More importantly is to prevent the transfer of such organisms to the ultimate customer.

The existence of any microbe in a food environment must be strictly controlled. The so-called harmless microbe under the proper conditions can become a nuisance. Food can become contaminated, reproduced to sufficient numbers to cause off-colors, off-odors and off-flavors. Unsightly growth often results in waste and loss of precious dollars. Many kinds of bacteria can cause slime formation on meats, poultry,  fish and similar edibles.

The objective of cleaning and sanitizing food contact surfaces is to remove food (nutrients) which bacteria need to grow, and kill those bacteria which are present. The cleaning/sanitizing procedures must be evaluated for adequacy through evaluation and inspection procedures. Adherence to prescribed written procedures (inspection, swab testing, direct observation of personnel) should be continuously monitored, and records maintained to evaluate long-term compliance.
