Safety: Sanitation

Cleaning and Sanitizing Food Contact Surfaces A Food Contact Surface is any surface or utensil that normally touches food (utensils, bowls, plates, cutting boards, hands). Food contact surfaces need to be cleaned (removal of food and soil from a surface), rinsed (removal of cleaning solution residue) and sanitized (reduction of the number of microorganisms to a safe level).

How to prepare sanitizing solution Using the approved chemical and dispenser, prepare the proper concentration (measured in parts per million (ppm) at the proper temperature (75°F (24°C), but no more than 115°F (46°C). Use clearly labeled spray bottles or into buckets used only for sanitizing. Test the solution using test strips and record on Sanitizer Solution Log daily.

History: Armed Forces Day, May 18, 2019

Armed Forces Day is a day to recognize members of the Armed Forces that are currently serving. In 1947, the Armed Forces of the US were united under one department which was renamed the Department of Defense in 1949. President Harry S. Truman supported the creation of a day for the nation to unite in support and recognition or our military members and their families. On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced that Armed Forces Day would take the place of other individual branch celebrations, and all branches of the military would be honored this single day.  Armed Forces Day takes place on the third Saturday in May.
