Food sanitation program

 An effective sanitation program is essential to the overall success of any food

handling operation. Good sanitation will be rewarded with improved morale,
better productivity and a reduced chance of regulatory incidences or recalls.

The sanitation program must include four basic steps:

 The first step is to assign a plant sanitarian.

 The second and third steps are to establish written cleaning procedures and
schedules.

 Last, but not least, step four is to document sanitation inspections.

 Plant Sanitarian

o The plant sanitarian must have the authority to take all of the necessary steps to
ensure that all of the equipment and each area of the plant will be properly
cleaned and sanitized.

  Written Cleaning Procedures

o A written cleaning procedure must provide a step-by-step method for properly

cleaning and sanitizing each piece of equipment. The written procedure provides
a reference to define the proper way to perform a cleaning task and can be used
as a training tool for employees.

 Written cleaning schedules

o While the cleaning procedure tells us how to properly clean and sanitize the
equipment, the cleaning schedules provide a documented program for the
frequency that each task is to be completed and assigns each tasks to
individuals on the cleaning crew.

o Cleaning schedules usually are set up in two stages:

 A daily cleaning schedule: This schedule will assign specific tasks that are to
be completed by a member of the cleaning crew every day.

 A master sanitation schedule: Schedule will assign the cleaning tasks that are
not completed daily. These tasks may be assigned for completion weekly ,
monthly or quarterly etc.
