HOW TO PREPARE A BLEACH SANITIZING SOLUTION To Sanitize Utensils in a Sink: A sanitizing concentration of 100ppm (parts per million) must be used in the third sink. To make a 100ppm sanitizing solution, mix 2 ml (1/2 tsp) of bleach with 1L of water. Leave utensils in solution for at least 45 seconds. To Sanitize Food-Contact Surfaces and Large Equipment: For large items such as cutting boards, counter tops, and meat slicers that can only be washed and sanitized in place, a 200ppm sanitizing solution is needed. To make a 200ppm sanitizing solution, mix 1 tsp of bleach with 1L of water. Note: Use sanitizer test strips frequently to check sanitizer concentration. Make a fresh solution if necessary. Other sanitizers in proper concentrations, following the manufacturers’ instructions, may be used if approved by the Health Department. Ensure all containers (bucket/spray bottle) of sanitizing solutions are properly labeled and kept away from food. Food-contact surfaces should be air dried after sanitizing.
