NEVADA CITY, Calif., Jan. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is now requiring breweries to follow the same sanitation standards as any other food manufacturer. Under the new rule, the FDA defines alcoholic beverages as human food. For the first time, breweries, wineries, and other alcohol manufacturers fall under FDA regulation. Many breweries may need help implementing their own Food Safety Plan and Best Sanitizers has the products, knowledge and experience to assist. To assist brewers in this effort, Best Sanitizers has developed a FSMA Starter Kit. This kit contains products designed to help breweries meet the sanitation requirements for hand hygiene and surface hygiene required by the new rule. Combined with expert guidance from Best Sanitizers' team, the FSMA Starter Kit has everything a brewer needs to successfully incorporate the new guidelines into their existing sanitation program.
Best Sanitizers' FSMA Starter Kit for Breweries consists of top quality hand hygiene and surface hygiene products. Each of these products is designed to meet the tough requirements of the food manufacturing industry. Alpet Q E2 Sanitizing Foam Soap is an effective hand soap that is tough on germs, but gentle on hands even with repeated use. It comes in various sizes and dispensing configurations to meet a brewery's specific needs. To provide an additional layer of pathogen protection, Best Sanitizers recommends following handwashing with Alpet E3 Plus Hand Sanitizer Spray. Alpet E3 Plus is delivered as an atomized spray providing excellent coverage, and saturates fingernails, cuticles, cracks and crevices of the hands and fingers where pathogens can hide. Alpet E3 Plus kills 99.9999% of 26 tested pathogens in 15 seconds. It is also available in different sizes and dispensing configurations.
To address surface sanitization, the kit includes Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer. Unlike some surface sanitizers that can interfere with the fermentation process required in beer and wine making, Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer does not, and is a convenient and effective tool in the fight against cross-contamination. Breweries can clean and sanitize with this product. Additionally, Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer is highly evaporative and offers the fastest kill time available for a food contact and non-food contact surface sanitizer with kill times of 60 seconds and 10 seconds respectively. Alpet D2 Quat-Free is ready-to-use and doesn't require a rinse, which eliminates the hassle of measuring and mixing potentially hazardous chemicals. This means your production line is up and running more quickly, and that's good for business and good for profitability.
Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer can also be used with Best Sanitizers' Refillable Wiping System to create a convenient sanitizing wipe. Simply add the correct amount of product to the dry wipes and you're ready to go. A unique spring-loaded canister lid closes automatically to help keep wipes from drying prematurely.
"Our goal is to help breweries understand and embrace the new FSMA requirements as they pertain to hand hygiene and surface sanitization. The new FSMA Starter Kit for Breweries does just that." Ryan Witt, Best Sanitizers' Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
