Orchard & Commercial GrowingWhy should mango packhouse cleaning and sanitizing be recorded as separate steps?
Cleaning removes residues and soil, while sanitizing addresses microorganisms on appropriately prepared surfaces. Recording the steps separately makes it easier to identify whether a failure arose from incomplete cleaning, incorrect process conditions, or recontamination afterward. Follow the facility's suitable procedures and product instructions without substituting a stronger mixture for a missed step. Include equipment dismantling and protected storage where relevant to the surface being treated.
