Sanitation: Food/Pharmaceutical Processing Envir.

(11 min.) It's extremely important to understand basic cleaning and sanitizing procedures and to use these procedures when cleaning equipment used in a food or pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Lack of proper sanitation can cause increased returns of products, shorter shelf life, less profit, and can invite the threat of possible operation shutdown. Good sanitation does not cost, it pays.

This program will not address the entire cleaning and sanitation process because there are many facets, including Pest Control, Purchasing Sanitizers, Proper Storage of raw materials, and many others. This program will concentrate on cleaning and sanitizing of process equipment.
