Ensure Compliance and Food-Safety
EPA-Registered Sanitizers
EPA-registered antimicrobial products are approved for use on inanimate surfaces. This covers both environmental/non-food-contact areas and food-contact surfaces when the product label authorizes that application, and the formulation complies with 40 CFR §180.940 tolerance exemptions.
FDA-Accepted Sanitizers
FDA-Accepted sanitizers are designed for direct and indirect food-contact applications. These solutions meet stringent 21 CFR requirements, ensuring compliance and protection. By choosing FDA-Accepted sanitizers, you safeguard your operations against contamination risks.
